Among them are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WhatsApp doesn&#8217;t have permission to access the camera yet.\u00a0Usually found on Android Lollipop versions and above.<\/li>\n<li>WhatsApp doesn&#8217;t have permission to access the\u00a0mic yet.\u00a0Also commonly found on Android versions of Lollipop and above.<\/li>\n<li>WhatsApp application on your mobile phone has a\u00a0bug\u00a0(\u00a0error\u00a0).<\/li>\n<li>Internet connection problem.<\/li>\n<li>Your account is blocked by the destination contact, this is also possible.<\/li>\n<li>And others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The conclusion could be due to a WhatsApp system error, it could also be from our phone system.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Overcome_WhatsApp_Cant_Video_Call\"><\/span><strong>How to Overcome WhatsApp Can&#8217;t Video Call<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Then how to solve it? Please follow these steps one by one:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Allow_WhatsApp_to_Access_Camera\"><\/span><strong>1. Allow WhatsApp to Access Camera<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The permission here works so that the WhatsApp application can access the camera. As we know, WhatsApp uses the front camera to activate video calls.<\/p>\n<p>How to? Here are the steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go\u00a0to Android\u00a0<strong>Settings, then go to <\/strong><strong>Apps<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Search for WhatsApp, then open it.<\/li>\n<li>Tap the\u00a0<strong>Permissions<\/strong>\u00a0button to open it.<\/li>\n<li>Then check the\u00a0<strong>Camera<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If so, just try again. This method is usually effective for dealing with WhatsApp video calls that are dark (no picture), or there is a &#8220;can&#8217;t access camera&#8221; message.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#87ddab;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#a1f7c5;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">Oh yes, it would be even better if your cellphone was restarted first. Only then open WhatsApp again, if you have.<\/div><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Allow_WhatsApp_to_Access_Mic\"><\/span><strong>2. Allow WhatsApp to Access Mic<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Just like before, WhatsApp also needs mic access so that it can run normally. If it is not activated, there is usually no sound problem.<\/p>\n<p>More or less the steps are similar to activating the camera in the first point, namely:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open phone <strong>Settings.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Open the\u00a0<strong>Applications<\/strong> menu.<\/li>\n<li>Tap\u00a0<strong>WhatsApp<\/strong>\u00a0to open.<\/li>\n<li>Select the\u00a0<strong>Permissions<\/strong> option, then enable\u00a0<strong>Mic<\/strong>\u00a0there.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to activate it again if it was already active. But there&#8217;s nothing wrong if we check first.<\/p>\n<p>You see, sometimes under certain conditions, these settings may change by themselves, or even we who forget we haven&#8217;t set this permission correctly.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Read Also:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"entry-title td-module-title\"><a title=\"How to Download WhatsApp Status Without Any App [2022]\" href=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/how-to-download-whatsapp-status\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Download WhatsApp Status Without Any App<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Clear_Cache_To_Overcome_WhatsApp_Cant_Video_Call\"><\/span><strong>3. Clear Cache To Overcome WhatsApp Can&#8217;t Video Call<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Clear Cache can be very helpful to solve the WhatsApp application on your cellphone whose video call feature is not working.<\/p>\n<p>Please follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go\u00a0to Android\u00a0<strong>Settings, then go to <\/strong><strong>Apps<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Next, look for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.whatsapp&amp;hl=en_IN&amp;gl=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WhatsApp application<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Select the\u00a0<strong>Storage<\/strong> menu, then tap the\u00a0<strong>Clear Cache<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<li>Tap the back button, then tap the\u00a0<strong>Force Stop<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Reopen WhatsApp.The method above is recommended directly by many Android experts, both from within the country and abroad. Its own function is to reset WhatsApp&#8217;s temporary storage data, so errors can be eliminated.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Check_Internet_Connection\"><\/span><strong>4. Check Internet Connection<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Basically, WhatsApp doesn&#8217;t really need high internet speeds. But the case is different when it comes to calling features.<\/p>\n<p>Call features, be it voice or video, at least require a stable internet connection. For speed, a minimum of 1Mbps is recommended.<\/p>\n<p>If not, usually the call will end with the message &#8221; ended &#8221; or at least just stuck.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#87ddab;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#a1f7c5;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">So basically, first check the internet connection you are using. You can try using a connection test application on the internet.<\/div><\/div>\n<p>If you feel that the internet is really slow, please try changing the provider you are using, or at least try setting the signal detection to make it better.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Make_sure_your_number_is_not_blocked\"><\/span><strong>5. Make sure your number is not blocked<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What happens if your number is blocked? You will see several features which include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can&#8217;t see contact status online or not.<\/li>\n<li>The contact&#8217;s WA profile will never change.<\/li>\n<li>WA messages will be marked with a checkmark.<\/li>\n<li>And all calls will not connect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Calls here, of course, include video calls as well. Therefore, don&#8217;t forget to check again whether your number is blocked by the intended contact or not.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#87ddab;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#a1f7c5;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">Check Block Tips. Try using another WhatsApp number, either create a new account or use someone else&#8217;s. Add the contact number, then try to make a call. If it&#8217;s not blocked, the call will go through.<\/div><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Reinstall_WhatsApp\"><\/span><strong>6. Reinstall WhatsApp<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Finally, reinstall. Reinstalling WhatsApp aims to solve existing bugs. Through reinstall, all WhatsApp data will be replaced with new ones.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s very easy. Please delete WhatsApp first, then install it again as usual:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to\u00a0<strong>Settings<\/strong>\u00a0&gt; Go to\u00a0<strong>Applications<\/strong>\u00a0&gt; Open\u00a0<strong>WhatsApp<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Tap the\u00a0<strong>Delete App<\/strong> button, to delete WhatsApp.<\/li>\n<li>Go to\u00a0<strong>Playstore<\/strong>\u00a0&gt; Search for\u00a0<strong>WhatsApp<\/strong>\u00a0&gt;\u00a0<strong>Install\u00a0<\/strong>as usual.<\/li>\n<li>Open the application when it&#8217;s done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Finally, you just need to re-login. Then try to test the video call feature again. Usually, with this step, the problem on WA will be normal again.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#87ddab;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#a1f7c5;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">Remember, if you don&#8217;t want any data to be lost, don&#8217;t forget to back up your chats and other important data before reinstalling WhatsApp.<\/div><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Maybe_WhatsApp_is_Interrupting\"><\/span><strong>7. Maybe WhatsApp is Interrupting<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>WhatsApp occasionally crashes. Marked you can not send messages, photos and of course, make video calls.<\/p>\n<p>For this solution, wait until the disturbance is normal again. Also, check news sites for updates on these disturbances.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Final_Word\"><\/span><strong>The Final Word<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>WhatsApp, which cannot make video calls, will be marked with several characteristics. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Call image screen is dark<\/li>\n<li>Certain error messages appear, such as \u201ccannot connect camera\u201d<\/li>\n<li>And the message &#8220;can not make calls&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hopefully, with the tips here, your WhatsApp can be normal again. Please apply one by one, or just try whichever is most appropriate to the problem being experienced.<\/p>\n<p>What if you can&#8217;t do it yet? If it doesn&#8217;t work, don&#8217;t worry.
