Spectator link claims the room is full or it joins a game as a player
The spectator=true link tries to join the game as a player. If the room has space it will join it as a player, if it's full it will get you "Countered" because "the room is full".

Please add a mute button, at least for spectators!
I have been in at least 3 games that had to close because we would have a spectator joining and playing soundbites or music and completely disrupting the game. Spectators are cool! Having to close a game because someone wants to troll, and just CAN, is not. Please fix.

Spectator kicking
There is someone who joins games, is extremely toxic and trolls people with a soundboard. Even after this player leaves (rage quits), or is kicked from the game, they join back in, in spectate mode and troll the audio so that no one can talk or play. Apparently this has been an issue for a few months now. We need a way to mute or kick out spectators.

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).28 votes -
Spelltable: please allow game setup via API to set life total
Hi team,
Love the product!
But I'd love a little bit more API support.
Would you please allow game setup via API to allow setting of life totals?I play Pauper Commander where life total is 30.
Our community would benefit from this modification as we use Spellbot to start our games.Please see:

Camera blurry after update to iOS 18.4.1
I’ve used my phone as a camera for years on Spelltable. However, after the recent update to iOS 18.4.1 on both of my phones (iPhone 11 and 13) the camera resolution in-game is unplayable. The cards do not register when clicked and are completely unreadable. The video feed as displayed on the phone is fine. I have tried different cameras on the phone i.e. the double wide or ultras wide, but the issue persists.

phone camera not working
The phone camera is not working as of 08/21/25. I've had no issues for the last 6 months. Now I can't get video to load no matter what browser I use or what aspect ratio I put the camera settings to. I've tried turning on and off the Configure Inputs option for "Use phone as Webcam" and every other thing I can think of. Every time I try to load in video the QR code remains on screen and the phone screen goes blank after several moments of the "contacting server" message.

Iphone 16 Pro Blurry
Hello. I have been playing for weeks using my Iphone 11 with no trouble. However, I recently switched to an Iphone 16 Pro and have discovered that the video quality streamed onto the platform is very blurry. I've tried multiple camera configurations and settings but nothing allows my Iphone 16 Pro to stream anything but a very blurry image. My friends also see a blurry image. I suspect that the platform is having some sort of bug relating to Iphone 16 Pro data being transmitted and not read correctly. Thank you.

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.

Camera no permission
I either get a thing that says spelltable doesn't have permission to use the camera, or I get one that says there was trouble changing the camera. I've tried everything. All permissions are allowed on computer and browser. I've tried 3 different cameras and 2 mobile phones.

Spelltable Login Redirect Error
Upon entering the log-in username and password, I am redirected to the Wizards of the Coast account page. There is no way to access the Spelltable lobbies and repeating the process nets the same result. I have tried different browsers, and three different devices. All result in the same issue. Spelltable was working fine for me yesterday. Please help.

Spelltable: No cameras and sound are loaded, error in console no one else had
When I open spelltable on 1 specific device (Windows 11 desktop) and try and use the mobile phone as camera, I do see other players, but I cannot hear them and I cannot see their screens, and neither can they hear me/see my screen. Also they can hear each other and see their boards. When i use a different device (laptop with windows 11) it works without issue (same account used in all cases). When I look in the console.log() I see the error that is included as .png. When I asked the other players they had no such error…

Can't switch webcam
This just literally started happening and I've never had this issue before, but with my two webcam setup (which has worked fine to this point for years, btw), Spelltable will only recognize the webcam that is facing me and not the one pointed toward the actual play area. Switching the cameras in the inputs makes no difference, as even attempting to swap to OBS will make no change to the input display. The camera facing the play area is a Razer Kiyo and has had zero issues like this prior, and this is the first time I've ever had any…
