Ring App
Live view not working on pc
When I attempt to do a live view on my pc using chrome browser or edge the video never loads. Just a grey screen showing "Activating Live View..." and a spinning circle. when I close the pop up live view and go to history there is a video recording of the live view. This happens on all cameras. 2 Spotlight Cams, an indoor cam, and a video doorbell pro. Live view works fine in the app. Any ideas? Customer Support call just told me "you have to change the settings on your pc" not which settings.

C@Huggs In that case, try checking out all of the troubleshooting tips and tricks we have in our Community Post on Live View concerns [here](https://community.ring.com/t/ring-live-view-not-working-or-connecting-ring-troubleshooting-tips/249). This should help you narrow down the specific cause of the Live View not loading for you. Additionally, make sure any VPNs you're using are disabled when you're accessing Ring.com, as VPNs will impact this. If this concern continues to persist and the troubleshooting suggestions don't work, I would recommend following up with our support team so they can take a deeper look at this. You can give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406).

Same here, not working in Chrome, Brave or Edge. It worked a couple of months ago so pretty sure they've broken something on their end. Edge is version 109.XXXXXX, Brave is Version 1.47.186 Chromium: 109.XXXXXX (Official Build) (64-bit) and Chrome is Version 109.XXXXXX. These all appear to be considerably newer than the versions listed as working on this page: https://ring.com/support/articles/sjo2f/Using-Live-View

Hi @Huggs. You'll want to ensure that the internet browser you're using is fully updated to ensure for the best experience. You can find a list of which web browsers are supported in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/208144516-Using-Live-View). Additionally, make sure that the web browser has permission to use your computer's microphone. You'll have to go [into the browser's settings](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2693767?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop) to enable the microphone for a specific website. I hope that helps! :)
