Summary
The default setting for most mobile devices is to prompt the user before granting a website access to the device camera. This is a good security default, but can be annoying if you use the website frequently and are prompted to grant camera access again and again. To prevent these frequent pop-ups, follow the instructions below to grant TaskCam persistent access to your device camera.
iOS Setup
Note: Website-specific camera access became available with iOS 13.
1. Launch Safari browser and open TaskCam
2. Once loaded, tap the "aA" button in the address bar and tap "Website Settings" in the menu that appears
3. Tap "Camera" settings and select "Allow"
4. Tap "Done" at the top of the screen.
That's it. TaskCam now has ongoing access to your camera and you can get straight to taking photos and being more productive..

Note: On most Android devices, after you first allow camera access you should not be prompted again. However, if you are, below are instructions to view and change these settings.
