The error I get : ‘Access denied to audio. Please unblock microphone message or nothing happens after showing the ‘Waiting for acceptance of Video Connection Request…’
The message will usually be displayed on modern devices, but older devices might not show the message at all. In both cases you will still see the ‘Waiting for…’ status.
Some mobile devices have by default the microphone disabled for web browsers or the user could have disabled it in the settings.
