WebAPP - some users can't connect to Doorbell video via web app.
We have several users connecting to shared devices. For some reason there's always a user or two that can't connect to the video feed of the doorbell device. It was working yesterday, but today not and as far as I can tell nothing changed. If I try that users on another windows machine it works fine, but it just will not allow the user to see the video feed. This is now the 2nd user or should I say machine this is happening with. The previous user having this problem started working again after about 2 weeks...before I could figure out what's causing the problem.None of the site permissions are being blocked. I'm not sure what else could block us from viewing the video feed...it just keeps circling like it's busy loading, but never does. You can access the settings for the doorbell and the status says Online with good signal streangth...just not the video. Any ideas?

Thanks for those suggestions, it's much appreciated. Unfortunately, I have tried all those before posting.

I guess that's the issue with Windows and Android, so many manufacturer's products that the OS has to work on and as such no control over what manufacturers do in the way of default settings to make everything work well enough to sell their product. But it does mean not everything works all of the time. I got so fed up with Windows in that respect that I swapped everything to Apple (MacBook and iPhones and iPad) and in fairness everything works all of the time on every device and I no longer spend time rebooting and otherwise fixing things or trying to make things work. I suppose that's what controlling both the software and the hardware gets you, and for me was worth the extra premium (which turned out to be beneficial as I don't swap machines every few years unless I want to). Good luck getting it sorted.

Have you tried an alternative browser? Cleared Caches on the problem devices? The fact that other machines are fine suggests it's the specific device that is the issue. As I use Apple Macs, I cannot suggest what settings might be the issue, or what caches there are on Windows. If the browser has a "return to factory" option, I'd start with that on the affected machines, then clear all caches you can find and see if that has helped.
