Before You Create a New Report


Before creating a new report, please enter the issue in the Issue Title field below to see if your issue has already been reported. It is a good idea to limit this to a few key words, like a device name or specific feature.

Example: webcam not found (Note: Partial words may not bring up results, we recommend to try webcam instead of cam or web cam)

If your issue has been reported already, click the VOTE button so that we know you've experienced that bug as well. You can also leave a comment if you'd like to add to the conversation about that bug or provide additional information you think might be useful.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For New Reports


If your bug has not been reported, please do so now! Update the Issue Title to reflect the problem you’ve encountered.

Example: Logitech Camera doesn’t work

Choose the Category that describes your problem.

Use the Describe your idea field to detail what happened, and provide the following information to allow us to investigate the issue:
  1. Summarize the problem
  2. List the steps you took that led to the problem
  3. What was the result that happened when you followed those steps
  4. What was the result you expected to happen when you followed those steps
Example:
Logitech C922 can’t be selected as a camera
Category: Camera Bug
  1. Open SpellTable and start or join a lobby
  2. Select the gear icon to configure inputs
  3. Actual: No input devices are detected under “Camera Source”
  4. Expected: My camera can be selected for “Camera Source”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional Information to Provide


You can provide additional information that can also help us perform an investigation quickly. Great information to include:
  1. The brand, model, and/or type of device you’re using (USB webcam, Android/Tablet, iPhone/iPad, etc.)
  2. The version or your operating system you’re using (i.e.: Windows 10, MacOS Big Sur, Android 11, iOS 14, etc.)
  3. Your browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc.)
  4. A screenshot of the issue or any error messaging received (Note: it must be smaller than 50 mb in size)
  5. The last are simple checks for any camera/microphone issues you might encounter:
  • Ensured permission has been granted for your Camera and Microphone through your preferred browser: Use your camera & microphone
  • Ensured that no other programs are using your Camera or Microphone (you can find information on how to perform this check by searching online)
  • Temporarily disabling any Anti-Virus programs that might disable camera and microphone access (even if you’re already granted it)
  • Tested your camera is working with Online Mic Test

  1. There was a problem changing the camera, try closing your camera app

    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.

  2. There was a problem changing the camera, try closing your camera app.

    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

  4. 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).

  7. How is this company so large but cannot patch a bug thats lasted for weeks?

    Honestly, it's super embarrassing that wizards as a company is ran this way. cameras arent working. I cant imagine not having something operate correctly for multiple weeks on end and not try to resolve it. Does spelltable not have an actual team and is ran by air?

    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.

  11. 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…

  13. Webcam Zoomed in only on Spelltable - Didn't have this issue last Saturday.

    Logitec Pro C920. Tried Chome and Edge. Camera looks fine in the Webcam software but on SpellTable it is Zoomed in and I lose a ton of playmat space.

    It was fine last Saturday so this is a new issue.

  14. "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.

  15. 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.

  17. OBS video source displays in lobby, but displays black screen in game

    Setup:
    -Windows 11
    -Google Chrome Browser
    -Enabled Camera/Audio permissions in Chrome and windows
    -When pulling video directly from a camera the video is fine.
    -When waiting in a lobby, the video displays correctly when OBS is selected.

  18. 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…

  19. Unable to connect via QR code w/mobile, as well as Droidcam X both wired and via wifi

    I know I'm not the only one having this issue. I was able to use droidcam a while back via wired connection no problem, now it only shows the preview before I get in game, and refuses to show camera while in-game. QR code shows neither preview nor in-game. I disabled all blockers, restarted my browser, closed everything except the browser, and tried three different methods of connection to no avail. Fix this.

  20. Camera enable/disable button does not work

    nenhum dispositivo de câmera funciona por nenhum meio, usando apps para usar o smartphone como web cam ou com o QRCode de transmissão. A tela permanece preta (como se aguardasse imagem) e o botão de habilitar e desabilitar câmera está fixo no desabilitado
