Hi all,

Lately I've found myself unable to turn on my camera in chat. I have tried on both mobile and laptop, on different browsers. None have worked, leading me to believe that there is an issue somewhere in lpsg's chat itself, potentially with my own account.

I have permitted the use of my webcam and mic, and I do see that my laptop/phone turns on the camera (the small light indicator does turn on) but chat remains stuck in a "connecting" state and never actually begins broadcasting anything. I know cams are slow to load and I've tested leaving this connecting window open for something like 20 minutes with no results.

I’ve had this as an intermittent problem in New Chat. I’ve also had a cam that will ultimately load but takes ages. I don’t think it’s a problem with my computer, account or connection.

Old Chat (despite its many problems) basically works.

The video chat software has become a bit of a disaster. The developer is no longer supporting it. We will be looking at a different solution in the future.
