Thanks, peli - newest Edge, and newest Chrome, this happens in both:

Could press F12 and copy the content of the javascript console?

Yes on the first load, you will get the allow webcam access on the upper right. A bit surprising…

Turns out I like the full screen option. With it I can switch more easily between the editor and GitHub

I made the toolbox “self-hide” so that it’s mostly not visible unless you use it.

Thanks for the full-screen option! It’s perfect. Love the hover hiding bar.

One small thing: could I customize the color of the border? The orange on orange looks a little weird:

Also, when I go full screen in my browser, it doesn’t seem to resize fully:

@darzu i’ve added settings to pick the colors of boxes/background. Also, the editor should now resize to the full screen. You want to stay close to 16:9 form factor because the other boxes will look off otherwise.

Did you block the camera by any chance? You can click on the camera icon on the top right

Better arrows, and dedicated thumbnail view

OK folks, this happens only in non-anonymous browsing (incognito/inprivate mode) in both browsers. It works in anonymous modes in Chrome and Edge.

I’m surprised not to see more info in your console output. The error output you showed is benign - there should be a crash somewhere.

I get the same issue as Jazzy. The way I get it to load is to close any additional windows/tabs. Works fine if it’s the only tab open. (Which is why I guess going incognito fixes it)

Edit. It wasn’t that. It sometimes loads, most times just three white boxes.

Could you try pressing F12, F5 and copy the output of the console? Is there any error showing up?

when it doesn’t load I get:

@SPerkins25 @jazzy could you try to reload in the browser that does not work? I have added error tracking and hopefully i’ll be able to see the crash in my logs.

Snap no dice on the log data. Could you export the HAR session after loading streamer and send it to [jhalleux@microsoft.com](mailto:jhalleux@microsoft.com)?

You’ll find the button in the network tabs in the developer tools.
