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.

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.

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…

spelltable decklist link doesn't move when randomizing players
I tried the ability to link my archidekt decklist in a spelltable game. It added a button to the corner of my quadrant of the screen (using the 4-way split view) that would open the decklist in a new window. This link was available to all the players, which I presume was intentional though I'm not sure is what I wanted to have happen.
Regardless, after setting up our commanders I randomized the player order, but the link to my decklist always remained in the same quadrant I was originally in, not the one I ended up in.
I saw…
