Spelltable camera feed bug: feed shows black bars on each side, obstructing left and right edge of the video
Camera: HD Pro Webcam C920, front-facing laptop camera, any other device I tried it on
Issue: A few days ago (at the time of writing) black bars suddenly appeared on the side of the video feed, obstructing the left and right side of the video. This has been the case for every browser that I have tried it on (Firefox, Chrome, Edge) and for every device I connected.
Image 1: how it was before, you can see the left and right edges of my playmat

"Trouble Using Your Device"
The past couple weeks my camera has been stuck in 4:3 ratio, but still connected to spelltable. As of last night when I create a room spelltable wont even see my camera and says "having trouble using your device". Ive reset permissions and cache, made sure nothing else is using it, even tried a different camera, still the same result. Also, for what its worth, before it says that its having trouble using my device the "connecting to servers" message comes up which ive never seen before.

There was a problem switching the camera, try closing the camera app
Good morning,
I have a bug with using the camera on a mobile phone. When I select the phone webcam option, after scanning the QR code, it takes me as usual to the 'join the game' button. Unfortunately, if I click on it, I get the following error: 'There was a problem switching the camera, try closing the camera app'. This error occurs even if I don't have any camera app open besides the spelltable website, and it happens with both mobile phones I own (an Honor and a mid-range Samsung).8 votes -

I can't see video's anymore.
I never used to have this issue until a few days ago and now after rebooting phone and PC the issue persists. After I scan the QR code, and on every one else's screen, I get the message: "There was a problem changing the camera, try closing your camera app". I have it set up to use my phone and other players can see my set up through my phone just fine, but I cannot see anyone else's screen. Update, today the issue has changed to now, no matter what settings I use, clearing caches, resetting system permissions, I always…

Mobile camera is not properly connecting
I have been using my mobile Android device for spelltable for half a year. Until about 3 days ago, there had been no issues at all. Now whenever I use my mobile camera, the lobby screen on my pc still shows the QR code and is black even after successfully scanning and logging in with my phone. I am able to record myself and my table with my phone but none of it registers with the spelltable lobby open in my pc. There is just the QR code which I already scanned and is still waiting for me to connect…

Phone doesnt work since recent update that displays all cameras as options
Here's an idea, how about every time you update or modify the software, you actually test it on a number of different devices. Every single change brings so many new problems. Cant believe the QR still points to a ?login=true url that kicks you from the game
now since the update that lists each camera on a phone, the main rear camera doesnt work
do you only assign jr devs to this or what?
Is hocking literal cardboard at a 20000% markup somehow not profitable enough to warrant a decent devops team?
This is such a good platform and you…9 votes -

I went to play a game of Commander with my friends like i just did 6 hours ago. In the lobby screen i could see my Cam just like i used to for the past 1.5 years but after clicking join lobby it showed ,,There was a problem changing the camera, try closing your camera app.". It is the first time i had that problem, as I said 6h earlier it worked just fine and all my attempts to fix it failed. Please Help

There was a problem changing the camera, try closing your camera app
I can get three different sources shown correctly right before I join in but as soon as I do, everyone else's screen is black and has this same message- it doesn't make any sense because I can't change other peoples cameras. Also, I can see other people's camera's for about a half second before it just blacks out and gives the error message for everyone.

Every mobile device camera, including android phone, Iphone and ipad only shows square video
Every mobile device camera, including android phone, Iphone and ipad only shows square video. it's working fine until yesterday when suddenly my ipad camera displayed square video of my board in spell table. I tried every mobile device as camera, android phones and an iphone and all of them display square video. I even rotated the deice permanently to landscape and still its displaying square video. Please add a setting to select aspect ratio for video display.

food and fellowship
Most cards from the food and fellowship deck do not work and seems to be a problem for awhile according to posts on reddit for all the lotr decks. Used other decks to test and they all worked fine, was just the lotr deck.

Phone webcam not working
iPhone camera telling me that, “we had trouble using your device”. I have used my phone as my webcam for quite a while and I’ve done all the troubleshooting the website has to offer and I am unable to host or joint games due to this.
