I can't place a call using Doorbell

Written by Aksel

If you can't place a call as a visitor, this is usually due to your browser not having the necessary permissions for speech/video. You may have clicked "Don't grant access" when using Unloc Doorbell previously, or something else causing the your phone not allowing the webpage to allow it.

Here is how to fix it in general:

  1. Go to url: doorbell.unloc.app on your phone browser

  2. Go to page menu/settings, and find Website settings. The process can vary between browsers.

  3. Turn on "Allowed" for both Camera and Microphone. This might be at "Ask" or "Deny" today

If this was already on, and it is still not working:

  • Make sure you have mobile data turned on and that you have cellular connection

  • Try restarting your browser app by "swiping it up"

Detailed instructions on how to allow

IOS Safari

If you previously denied permission, you must change it manually in Settings — there’s no automatic re-prompt until it’s reset.

Here is a video showing how to fix it in Safari.
