There are permissions for your computer’s microphone, video camera, screen recording, etc. Boom is a virtual camera app that asks for permissions to access different parts of your computer so it can add overlays and effects to your video calls.

• Accessibility: Boom requires the accessibility permission for our shortcuts.

• Camera: Boom needs access to your camera to display themes and other visual effects on your calls.
