Often that’s found in the phone settings, not the app settings:

Try under Settings > Privacy > Camera and toggle the permission on

Follow the same path, but choose Photos instead of Camera and toggle those permissions on as well.

I think what’s happening is that the app never asked you for permission to use the camera and thus the Camera permisison (and maybe Photos permission?) is not showing up on the app’s permissions screen when you to go your device’s Settings app then scroll down to Seek - is that correct? Are you not seeing these options?
