    I'm trying to use Spelltable. I bought a tripod, but before but I get that set up, I figured I'd try to spectate some games first.
    But the other players' screens just show up blank, with the message "There was a problem changing the camera, try closing your camera app". Which makes no sense since it's supposed to stream footage from their cameras.
    This happens in both Chrome and Edge. What's going on?

    I could just go ahead and try to set things up to actually play, but something tells me that I'll keep having this problem regardless until I figure out what is causing it.

      Editing … restarted the PC to see if that fixes it. (It didn't.) Just now I installed Firefox and it happens there too. I give up. Shit sucks.

      Editing … I wonder if this glitch would exist if Wotc didn't buy spelltable. I mean why would they care, it's not like they make money off this at least not directly. They'd probably rather everyone just use MTGA.

      Editing … Right? I've never bothered to try it, seems unpractical. But I don't nearly play as Magic much irl as I want to. That's why I've decided to look at other options including Spelltable.

      Editing … yeap, other people are having this issue. No solution is offered. And just as I figured, someone is blaming it on Wotc owning Spelltable. https://www.reddit.com/r/SpellTable/comments/1cekb7n/cant_get_a_video_stream_anymore/ wow and here I was wondering if I simply gave up too prematurely. So much for that.

      Editing … Actually sounds much more fun than playing via an interface. It's what I imagined the internet would be like in the 90's. Interacting with actual people online one to one. You can get a glimpse of what it's like at the other end of the camera like that. I'd make a game out of figuring out the personality of my opponent just from their hands.

      Editing … "It's what I imagined the internet would be like in the 90's" lol! well there is mic and chat, so you will know their personality from that. I can actually hear everyone talking when joining a game. There's just no footage. =(
