Topic: My webcam won't show on Pixel 3xl but works on iPhone

My webcam won't show on my Pixel 3xl and I have friends with other Android phones who can't load the webcam either using the Weather Underground phone app. I know it will load using the web browser. It has always worked on the iPhones.

Well whatever the case is, it isn't a widespread Android issue as I can see my webcam on the Chrome browser on my Galaxy S8 and also on NoxPlayer Android emulator. Not just my own webcam but I can see yours too. I would clear your browser cache and see if that helps.

Can you get it to load in the WU app on your phone?

Works fine on Android 4.n and 5.n via Chrome browser.  Nice day you got there today.

Guess I need to rephrase the question.

Yes you needed to be more clear in your original question when talking about you mobile device. You didn't say if you were talking about the mobile app or the website via the browser.

Can you get it to load in the WU app on your phone?

The WU app (Android) was not designed to show all webcams. It was designed to show procured webcams. I've never seen my webcam on the Android app. I don't have an iOS device at this moment to test if things are different there. It could be that the iOS WU app was designed with the intention of showing that given stations webcam. If you look at the WU Android app you can see that it is a separate section, and it is titled Webcams and it does show webcams of the surrounding areas. So it works to show webcams... it just wasn't designed to show that given stations webcam.

I uninstalled WU app a long time ago.
