This is coming up when I log in to view my cameras on my.arlo.com
I've told it no, of course, but what are you trying to pull?

There was an update deployed to address this concern. You should no longer be asked for camera access. Please let me know if you are still experiencing this.
Thank you

Today when I was accessing my cameras via the web browser Safari on my Mac lap top I received a pop up notification which said, "allow "my.arlo.com" to use your camera and microphone message on safari?" Then when I allow it, the green dot next to my laptops camera comes on as if its access my laptop video camera. Its never asked for this before. This is totally new. Any reason why its doing this now?

I received the same popup. There is no way I would ever allow Arlo to access my camera or microphone. There is no reason they need it and I don't trust them.

Your microphone is needed if you talk thru the cameras....
Morse is faster than texting!

No idea why it would ask for camera access.
But the browser does support two-way talk with the Arlo cameras, so it will ask for mic access.

Well thing is that every time you watch live video the camera comes on. It's not necessary and I blocked it. Still dumb.

That is true about the mic, thanks. I should have thought of that. I've had these for 5 years, I'm not on a new computer or a new browser, and I haven't reset anything, so I'm not sure why it's asking for that now. Maybe it got reset somehow?
In my situation the mic is worthless anyway since the latency from my cameras to Arlos' site and back to me is ~8-10 seconds, so it's completely useless for any communication.
Now about that camera...

The Arlo camera comes on when you watch live video, but I'm talking about it asked for access to my computer's camera. There is no reason I can think of that Arlo should be accessing my computer's camera.

OK, I understand needing the mic for audio, but why the camera? Unfortunately, I allowed the access. Is there a way to disable the laptop camera from being used? Also, why all of the sudden?

That is what I meant. My laptop camera comes on when I start live video feed from any Arlo camera.

Oh and can't make changes to the motion sensitivity anymore either. Changes won't get saved! OH NO! I It is probably all my equipment again and I must send my laptop in for repair again or buy a new one, isn't that right ARLO SUPPORT?

You can turn it off in your browser. If you're on
FireFox: go to Firefox \ Preferences \ Privacy security. Scroll down to Permissions and alternately click on the Camera button and the Microphone button. Change the setting in there.
Safari: Open Safari \ Preferences.
Click on the Websites tab/icon.
Alternately click on Camera and Microphone and change the settings there.
If you're on a different browser and don't know how to turn it back off, tell us what browser you're using and I'm sure someone up here can help.
Thanks@ShayneS

Looking forward to the fix Shayne is looking into. I accidentally clicked 'yes' on camera access and can't get out of it...

@cellodudeYes you can get out of it. It's a browser setting, not a life-commitment. Read my instructions earlier in this thread.

Are you trying to set the sensitivity in the motion detection test? That doesn't save by design (it is only for testing).

No in the modes. I have to use the phone app to make changes.

It's not. It is asking for camera permissions (along with mic) - no idea why that is.

If you've granted permissions to turn the camera on you should be able to use the browser settings to turn it off.
