My Web Portal changed today and I am not impressed with the changes. Like many others on the forum, I am not a fan of only seeing four cameras at a time. Add to that the fact they are not live streaming until I select the camera. I am not exactly sure how this is an advancement. I will have to play with it to see if there are any benefits to the change, but so far

I’m sure the reason for cameras not showing live streaming on the website now is to save Wyze on the amount of streams and data they have to handle. Not to defend Wyze, but to explain, the more connections and data moved between Wyze and customers does cost Wyze. With customer viewership undoubtedly growing, they most likely see this new update as a cost savings. If they didn’t do this, what is their alternative…increasing customer charges?
You cannot be sure of anything as Wyze has not offered any explanation for it thus far. Wyze and only Wyze, or an authorized representative of Wyze, has the responsibility to offer an explanation of their motivations and the reasons behind the changes. In absence of this, I do not think it is beneficial for paid subscribers to guess their reasons or offer conjecture behind their motivations, no matter how good the intentions. Let Wyze explain themselves.
The point is that they took people’s money to provide a service. They should not have the right to make cuts to this service and unexpectedly impose restrictions because they feel they didnt charge enough money.
If they feel that they want to increase their profit margins and increase subsription fees that is something they will have to decide for themselves. I am sure they pay people to crunch the numbers and make these kinds of decisions in order to sustain profitablity. We as subscribers paid our subscription fees and, no offense, their profit margin is not our problem.
My concern is whether I am getting what I paid for and then speaking out on behalf of myself as a customer. The fact still remains that I have already paid my subscription fee as set by Wyze and I am not happy about it. Let Wyze, and only Wyze, respond to that please.
We as customers have the right to respond here in the forum…that is its purpose. Wyze should read and respond too.

Mine seems to be working fine in Chrome, but then again, I only want to see 4 at once.
Please roll it back to the way it was. I HATE IT! 4 cameras! Are you serious! MAKE IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS!

Can I have my money back since web view is basically useless to me now?

Now that I can only see 4 camera feeds on one page, I am looking into other camera/subscription companies and options. You have downgraded a key feature of the old website. Please allow the option to show 6 or more camera feeds on the same web page.

You have a right to respond but others also have right to point out that you are making stuff up. I pointed out that you do not know why they added these new restrictions unless they say why they added these new restrictions. Since they have not said why, you are guessing.
I also said that I feel you are not in a position to speak for Wyze in absence of a response or explanation on their part. I pointed out that it is not helpful to pass off your assumptions as an explanation.
You also said that Wyze has a growing subscriber base. It might be true, it might not but unless you have any numbers to back it up it is an assumption on your part. For all we know they have a shrinking subscriber base and took in less in subscription fees than they did last year. We can guess, but we don’t know for certain.
If Wyze has increased their subscriber base, then they have received more money. There is no reason they should not be able to cover the cost of the connections and the streaming. That is. after all, what we paid them for.
I am not “making stuff up.”
You certainly did not read correctly. I did not say Wyze’s customer base is growing. I said their customer viewership. That would not increase their revenue. Wyze has previously said their web viewership has grown.
This is a forum where people can express their opinions and make suggestions. If all that was allowed were facts, it wouldn’t be a forum.
And we thank you for explaining why Wyze has added these new restrictions. Problem solved.
When I had the new Web View open, Wyze asked me to participate in a surveymonkey survey on the new Web View. You can imagine what my responses were…
Check your Web Viewer and make sure to fill out the survey if you get the offer.

Wyze Development Request
Wyze customers have submitted 10,000+ requests across the Internet, over 7 years asking for a better Web View experience with direct camera controls, settings access, live streams, and recording playback. These customer requests are tagged by Wyze Support as "In Progress" despite priority public demand. The Wyze support chatbot (which is excellent) states "no web portal for controls" when asking how to control your camera through a web browser. And, and at the top of this limited Web View is a Wyze banner promoting "free monthly web views" for a single cam, without addressing core functionality absences.

Customer: Where are the camera controls on the Wyze web portal?
WyzeBot: Currently, Wyze does not offer a web portal for directly controlling your cameras...Also, Wyze's Web View Feedback Survey is asking customers to share their top feature priorities for a better Web View experience. It's a good start, but absent from the forums, the support documentation, the chatbots, emails to customers asking directly how Wyze can improve on this core product experience, without assumptions. In addition to being communicated in more places, the development plans should go further for the best customer experience.
Core Problem: Fragmented App vs Web View Experiences
Current web interface lacks essential controls, discriminated memory card customers vs cloud subscribers. Customers forced between multiple apps and limited browser UI disappointment.

Solution: Individual Apps => Unified Web App
A single Progressive Web App (PWA) such as at wyze.app eliminates fragmentation. One codebase serves all devices, all customers (cloud/memory card). For those that are interested, a Progressive Web App (PWA) is a website that acts like a native mobile or desktop app. It uses standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) but delivers app-like performance, offline access, and home-screen installation without app stores

Competitors Using Web Apps
Proven web interfaces, Wyze is the only major camera brand without full web based controls on an equal footing with the individual apps. This proves the market expects browser access.
- Ring.com - Live doorbell video in any browser
- Nest (home.google.com) - Camera controls + timelines via web
- Arlo.com - Full multi-camera dashboard experience

In that post is a link to the Improvement survey. Thank you! Please fill it out and let Wyze know what you’re unhappy about in the new Web View. I let them know how problematic it is to only be able to view four cams. I paid for Cam Unlimited just so I could view all eleven of mine.

Now that there are multiple pages when “Live streams” is selected in the sidebar, they should add keyboard shortcuts for navigation. I’d really like to see keyboard shortcuts throughout the UI, but adding some for navigating between Cam pages would be a good start.
Having 6 is a big improvement. I can just have 1 browser tab open for each page of cameras.
