Ogh requests only the permissions required for the specific features you actually use. If you never select the camera as a source, Ogh will never ask for CAMERA. Permissions are granted at runtime — not bundled silently at install — so you always see a system dialog before Ogh can access a sensitive capability.

​
Permissions reference

Permissions are requested when you tap Go Live — not at install time. If you change sources between sessions, Ogh will ask for any new permission the first time you go live with that source.

​
What happens when a permission is denied

Ogh is designed to degrade gracefully so a single denied permission does not break unrelated features:
  • CAMERA denied — Ogh cannot start a camera session. Your microphone and system audio selections are unaffected and the stream can still proceed with another video source.
  • RECORD_AUDIO denied — The requested audio source change is not applied and your previous audio selection remains active. No other part of the session is affected.
  • MediaProjection cancelled — Session preparation is aborted immediately. No broadcast is created and Ogh returns to the ready state. You can tap Go Live again and choose a different source, or re-grant the MediaProjection consent when prompted.

​
Revoking permissions

You can revoke any permission at any time from Android Settings → Apps → Ogh → Permissions. The change takes effect the next time you try to use that feature.

​
Foreground service notification

When a stream is active, Ogh displays a persistent notification so you always know the stream is running. This notification is required by Android for any app performing long-running foreground work and cannot be hidden while streaming is in progress. On Android 13 and later, Ogh requests the POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission when you tap Go Live so this notification can be shown correctly.
