Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't my browser ask for location access again?

Once you deny access, most browsers remember that choice. You need to reset the permission before the browser will ask again.

Does Blitzz need my location?

Some Blitzz video sessions request location. If your call needs it, allow location access when prompted.
