Welcome to this revised and detailed tutorial on how to resolve camera-related issues and facial recognition login on The Wonder, a cloud desktop platform accessible via Chrome browser, ideal for families sharing digital resources. Facial recognition is mandatory and activated during registration, offering enhanced security. However, camera failures – whether due to defects, permissions or unavailability – can prevent login, and the correct procedure involves contacting the platform's technical support. This guide, based on The Wonder guidelines (inspired by https://thewonder.cloud/en/register/family), details the resolution process, including identity verification, use of a unique login code and options for hardware replacement, if applicable. The process can take 10 to 30 minutes, depending on support and location.

Why Can Facial Recognition Fail on The Wonder?

The Wonder's facial recognition, integrated with Chrome via WebRTC, is an advanced functionality to protect accounts as described in the registration tutorial. Failures can occur due to:

Hardware Issues: Damaged, dirty or obstructed camera.
Browser Permissions: Chrome without camera access due to privacy settings.
Incompatibility: Outdated devices or browsers.
Unstable Connection: Internet below 10 Mbps, as indicated in registration prerequisites.
Account Settings: Poorly configured facial recognition.
Updates/Bugs: Temporary issues in operating system or Chrome.

If the camera doesn't work, The Wonder offers a structured process via support to recover access even without facial recognition.

Prerequisites:

Updated Chrome browser.
@thewonder.email email.
Registered phone (+1, international format).
Secondary recovery email (e.g., Gmail).
Registration information, such as parents' names (father and mother) and answers to predefined security questions.

Step 1: Contacting The Wonder Technical Support

When facial recognition fails, the correct procedure is to contact technical support immediately. The Wonder offers 24/7 support, as highlighted in family registration, to ensure quick assistance.

How to Contact:
- Live Chat: Access https://thewonder.cloud or the dashboard (if you can login with alternative methods) and click "Support".
- Email: Send an email to [email protected], informing the problem (e.g., "Camera not detected in facial login") and including the @thewonder.email (e.g., [email protected]) and the voucher used in registration (e.g., FAMILY2025).
Inform the Situation: Describe the problem clearly, mentioning:
- Device used (PC, tablet, smartphone; iOS/Android/Windows).
- Error message, if any (e.g., "Camera not found").
- Login context (attempt on dashboard or on a shared device).
- If you're using a terminal provided by The Wonder (dedicated hardware).

Tip: Take screenshots of the error to speed up communication.

Step 2: Identity Verification by Support

The Wonder support will perform an identity verification to ensure account security, especially in family accounts with multiple users and parental controls. During the interaction, you'll be questioned about:

Registration Information:
- Full name of the responsible person (e.g., John Smith, as entered in registration).
- Names of the responsible person's parents (father and mother), as provided in registration.
- Answers to predefined security questions during registration (e.g., "Name of first pet" or "City where you were born").
Account Details:
- @thewonder.email and, if necessary, the secondary recovery email.
- Registered phone number for 2FA (+1 555 999-9999).

This step is crucial to comply with regulations like GDPR and COPPA, mentioned in registration, ensuring only authorized access to the account.

Security tip: Keep registration information noted in a safe place.

Step 3: Receiving and Using the Unique Login Code

After successful identity verification, support will provide a unique login code, valid for 15 minutes. This code temporarily replaces facial recognition, allowing immediate access to the dashboard.

How to Use the Code:
- Access https://thewonder.cloud/en/login in Chrome.
- Enter the @thewonder.email.
- On the screen, select "Use Unique Login Code" (option displayed after contacting support).
- Enter the received code (via email, SMS or VoIP, as agreed with support).
- Click "Login" to access the dashboard.
Immediate Action: The code expires in 15 minutes, so use it quickly. If it expires, contact support again for a new code.

Step 4: Requesting Hardware Replacement (If Applicable)

If the camera problem occurs on a terminal provided by The Wonder (dedicated hardware for platform access), you can request a new device during support contact.

Replacement Process:
- Capitals: Inform support that the issue is on a Wonder terminal. After verifying the defect (via remote diagnosis or description), support will arrange delivery of a new terminal within 4 hours in US capitals.
- Other Locations: You should go to an authorized exchange point, such as a registered educational entity (e.g., partner schools or universities). Support will provide the address of the nearest point based on your ZIP code.
- Documentation: Present the @thewonder.email and registration voucher to validate the exchange.
While Waiting: Use an alternative device (PC, tablet, smartphone) via Chrome to access the platform with the unique login code or alternative methods (password + 2FA via phone/email).

Tip: For families, configure logins on multiple devices to avoid interruptions, especially for parental controls.

Prevention:

Test the camera regularly in the dashboard (Support > Device Diagnostics).
Keep Chrome updated (chrome://settings/help).
Check camera permissions in Chrome (chrome://settings/content/camera).

Common Troubleshooting:

Code Not Received: Check email spam or wait 2 minutes.
Verification Error: Confirm exact answers to security questions.
Terminal Not Delivered: Contact support to track delivery or confirm exchange point.
