    For a black screen in Poshmark Live on Windows 10, use these checks in order:

    1. Check whether the issue is only in Poshmark.
      • Open Start > Camera.
      • If the camera preview works there, the problem is likely specific to the app or browser settings.
    2. Make sure camera access is allowed in Windows 10.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Privacy > Camera.
      • Turn on Camera access for this device.
      • Turn on Allow apps to access your camera.
      • Turn on Allow desktop apps to access your camera. This is important for browsers such as Microsoft Edge.
    3. Check for a physical camera block.
      • Some laptops have a camera shutter, privacy switch, or a keyboard key with a camera icon.
      • Make sure the shutter is open or the switch/key is turned on.
    4. Test whether another app is using the camera.
      • Close other apps that may be using the webcam, including browsers, messengers, video apps, or virtual camera software.
      • If another app is holding the camera, Poshmark may show a black screen.
    5. Update the camera driver.
      • Select Start > Device Manager.
      • Expand Cameras.
      • Right-click the camera and select Update driver.
      • Select Search automatically for drivers.
      • Restart the PC after the update.
    6. Check for Windows updates.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for updates.
      • Install available updates, including optional camera updates, then restart.
    7. If the camera is still black in all apps:
      • Ensure the lens is clean and not blocked.
      • If Device Manager does not list the camera correctly, or shows a warning icon, the camera driver may need reinstalling.

    The audio problem for hearing the presenter is not covered by the available context.

    Hi,

    To check whether the issue is app-specific, website-specific, or affects the camera in general, please test your camera in Windows.

    In the search bar, type Camera and press Enter. Does the same issue occur there?
