Hello,
I cannot get a stream going, no video and the screen is blank, although when I can get a still picture. The serial monitor is showing that is streaming but nothing on screen.
Please help.
Thank you

Hello Rick,
- What’s the ESP32 board add-one version that are you using? If you go to Tools > Boards > Boards Manager > “ESP32”. Let me know which version. Can you try using version 1.0.1?
- Which web browser are you using?
- What do you see in your Arduino IDE serial monitor when you open the web page?

Hi Rui,
Thanks for answering. I was using version 1.0.3 initially and I tried 1.0.1 like you suggested and is the same result. I even change the resolution on my pc to match the webserver and still the same result. The serial monitor shows MJPG and the frame size scrolling but no stream on the screen. When you “get still” it does give you a picture.
Thanks,
Rick

- Which web browser are you using?
- How are you powering your ESP32-CAM?
- How much voltage are you supplying your board?
- Do you have just a single tab at a time open in your browser?

Hi Rui,
I was using the default Windows 10 browser (Edge) but when I change to Chrome everything works properly.
Thanks for all your hints and suggestions.

Thanks for letting me know, I always recommend using Google Chrome for my projects, because it’s more tested with that browser. Regards,
