"Unable to Stream Video" with outdoor camera

​Streaming works with phone app, but with the web app has not worked from day 1. Error is on SS end and they are fixing it it claims.​

​Is anyone able to stream their outdoor camera on the web app?​

Update:

My other computer seems to work fine so:

Christmas Miracle!

I reset Chrome to original settings and it now works!

Thanks for your help

@pjanitsgoing back and checking things it was  the Disable HTML5 Autoplay (Reloaded) Extension being turned on.

For those of you wondering why I had that turned on, it's job is to prevent annoying videos , ads and such from autoplaying. Yep now I have that back again. But SS now works for outdoor cameras on the Web app.

Hmmmmm.

Hi Pete,

What operating system is your computer using (MacOS, Windows?), and what browser are you trying to view on? There might be some sort of video playback or browser security issue that we'd need to dig into.

I just tried the hated Microsoft Edge and it worked. Indoor and Outdoor.

The internal cameras work on Google Chrome but not the outdoor cameras.

What's the difference?

The app works great but I am unable to stream via browser. I tried Firefox, Chrome, and Edge.

Hi @jertruax​, 

Are you able to access other features of the webapp and it's just livestreaming that's giving you an issue? This may be a video playback issue that our team would need to look into?
