 Follow the steps below to troubleshoot and resolve the issues:

  1. Close Similar Apps and Unneeded Tabs:

    • Before launching InSpace, ensure that any similar apps or pages are closed. For example, if you have Zoom running in the background, close it along with any other unnecessary tabs. This step will free up system resources and prevent potential conflicts.
