While using the Dubb Chrome Extension, you may notice the webcam "flicker" or reload when you visit a new webpage

This is due to the limitations of Chrome

If you want to avoid this flicker there are a few options:

1 Use the pause button to pause your recording before you change tabs, then resume after the webcam has reloaded.

2 use the Desktop App instead!
