So, when going full screen on the Browser view, I can’t get the timestamp to show up, but if i’m not in fullscreen mode, it does show up. (I’m using Chrome)
Most likely when you are going to full screen, part of the image is being cut off (mainly due to difference in video screen size and display screen size). That part includes the portion of the image where the timestamp is located.
The timestamp is part of the video - there is no way your browser can add or delete it.
Yeah I had to adjust the zoom to about 65% in order for the timestamp to show up. I’m using a laptop
Laptops often have very wide screens (mine certainly does). Since the display screen is so wide, when the camera image is displayed such that it is full width, there are two choices. First is to keep the video aspect ratio by either clipping off the top and bottom of the image, or display the video full height and put a black bar on the right and left edges. The second is to squish the video image vertically which makes everyone look fat and round objects become pronounced ovals. Thankfully damn near no one does the latter any more.
The Chrome browser should be able able to scroll the page.
I have it in full screen mode. I may just connect an external 22" Monitor to my laptop and do it that way.

I just browsed to a web site and went full screen; it’s scrollable.
The Wyze page does cut the time stamp. It shows partially on mine, but that’s not the problem with the screen aspect ratio. It’s Wyze not doing it right.
How is that not because of screen aspect ratio?
It’s basic html. No matter the aspect ratio, any html page can have a scroll bar. It can be hidden, but the page is still scrollable using the mouse.
Wyze has done similar things with its app. There were cropped screen because they forgot to add scroll bars; which they then fixed in subsequent releases.
As an example, open a large group of cameras. You can scroll to the last camera in the list. There are no scroll bars. It’s a similar concept.
It’s nothing to do with HTML. The timestamp is generated by the camera and is part of the video stream - NOT overlaid on top of it by your browser.
Not with HTML5. The video stream is hosted inside the html. There’s no need to overlay anything.
Try to maximize a youtube video. It’s scrollable.
Nope. Take the µSD card out an play the video. The timestamp is part of the video. Nothing to do with html.
It doesn’t matter whether there’s a time stamp or not. Everything should show if the web page is properly coded. You max out the page’s width and if the height overflows, the (possibly hidden) vertical scroll bar should work with either the mouse or the touch screen.
I just tried it on Chrome (almost never watch Wyze on a PC), and the scroll bar works fine.
In theory, it should work. If it fails on a laptop, I suspect its screen driver needs work.
My laptop stays plugged in 100% of the time and I’m on my PC all throughout the day. So I can just keep an eye on it. I do have the camera set to record starting at 5:15pm to 7am every morning.
