Cam OG with WebView/Firefox - “Web Connection Failed”
Works with Chrome.
Yup. That’s been my experience, as well, and I think that’s what a lot of other users are reporting and want to see remediated.
Thanks for confirming! 
Run Firefox in private mode. Lemme know. Good luck.
Same result - “Web Connection Failed”
I have privacy-oriented extensions for Firefox.
I don’t use Firefox due to issues like this and others. Chrome does fine.
Same. Even when I restart Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode (extensions disabled) and open a private browsing window, the experience doesn’t change: All of my Cam OGs time out with “Web Connection Failed” messages.
I use both but try Firefox first. I have a DNS server filter and I can see Google doing all kinds of telemetry uploads.
Is there a way to fast forward thru videos in web view? The AI doesn’t always see the people or other incidents that I am looking for.
When I’m watching an event video, I can right-click on the playback pane and enable ✓ Show all controls. After doing that, I can click the (more options) in the lower-right corner (it’s easier if you first double-click the video to enlarge playback to full screen because of the way other controls are overlaid), then Playback speed, then an option up to 2. That’s also kind of a work-around, though, and not an intuitive control built into the playback UI when just hovering the mouse pointer over the video.
I would like to rearrange the order in which I see the streaming of the cameras in the Web view. The views are not arranged in a logical order. I have many cams.

I’d like to view my Wyze cameras from my PC. But there are VERY little features in it. Right now, I’d like to view the contents of the SDCard of a specific camera. A lot of the time the camera does NOT automatically trigger and I often have to search threw the SDCard to find what I missed. A person approaching my house, by my house or just look for what happened when my yard got trashed but nothing recorded it.
Why have a large screen on my PC to view these images but I can’t.

Load an android emulator, install Wyze on it, and use it that way…
Klunky I know…
Thanks Jeff. I’ve done a little researching and found inaccurate info of some emulators. Do you have something more specific and available today?
Bluestacks works, but it is slow and full of so many ads, I just this week deleted it.
I really would like to be able to download the videos from the cloud while looking at the events from my computer. I can download the videos from the app, but it would save a lot of time and effort if I could download from the computer. Right now when I am at work, I look for events on the computer using the filters with camera selection, date selection, and time selection. Then once I find a video, I have to go to my phone app and look through 24 hours of footage to find what I am looking for then download it from my app to my phone and then load it up to the cloud then go to my computer to transfer the video from the cloud. It was be far simpler to be able to do this straight from the computer website.

Please allow drop and drag cameras in our order on live view online windows 11 PC. This feature is already available on the Mobile App. because those of us with multiple cameras would like to arrange them for easier & better viewing.
Thank you.

Have you tried this?
If you haven’t already, I’d take a look at that post and the few that follow it in that topic.

This issue is from ever starting the time one gets into they have a screen which says for 90days (or whatever) don’t ask why would it keep asking again and again It defeats the entire purpose of that window or the popup for trusting our system
Every person who owns a camera would like to see the view or the playback on a bigger screen This is the MOST IMPORTANT feature anyone would want especially in Video playback This one reason defeats the purpose of buying the WYZE camera if our own recordings aren’t viewable for bigger screens Wondering is WYZE trying to kill its own products?
