#### I can't join my friend's room

You must have mic and camera enabled. Please check your browser or laptop settings to make sure LifeAt has permission. Please note that you can’t join LifeAt via. your mobile at this time.

If you’re receiving an error below, that means the room has been locked by the host. Please contact the host to unlock the room.

#### Why can't I join the video call?

In order to join a video call, you need to have a subscription to our Pro tier.

#### My friends joined but I can't see them in my room

You and your friend need to have a camera and microphone on your device otherwise the group video call won't work at all. You can also try refreshing the screen by “Command+R” on keyboard

#### I keep getting an error when trying to start or join a room

Please double check if your camera and mic settings are enabled.
