In order to take, upload, or save photos and videos from the Playground app, you'll need to give Playground permission to access your device's camera and photo album. You can do this from your device's settings.

How to enable camera and photo album access on an iOS device

Navigate to your device's settings and scroll to the bottom of the Settings screen, where your downloaded apps are listed alphabetically. Find "Playground" and tap it to access the Playground Settings screen.

Across from "Camera," toggle the button "on" (it will turn green) to allow Playground to access your camera. Then tap "Photos" to open the Photos Permission Settings screen. Tap "Read and Write" to allow Playground to upload from and save photos to your photo album.

The screenshot on the far right demonstrates what fully enabled camera and photo settings look like.

Tap on "Camera" to reach the Playground Camera Permission screen and then tap "Allow" to toggle the setting on (the circle next to "Allow" will turn blue). Then tap the back arrow on the upper left of the screen to return to the App Permissions screen.

Tap on "Storage" to reach the Playground Storage Permission screen and then tap "Allow" to toggle the setting on (the circle next to "Allow" will turn blue). Then tap the back arrow on the upper left of the screen to return to the App Permissions screen.

The App Permissions screen should now show "Camera" and "Storage" under the "Allowed" section.
