Why does it say my camera streaming has stopped?

If you see a message saying your camera streaming has stopped during a proctored session on Talview, it usually means the connection to your secondary device’s camera was interrupted - either because you stopped it yourself or because of a connection issue. In this article, you’ll find the most common causes and fixes to get your camera streaming back up.

🔎 Troubleshooting Common Issues

What Might Be Wrong	How to Fix It
You manually stopped the stream	If you clicked the recording button to pause your camera streaming, this is expected. Click the same button again to resume - the stream should reconnect right away.
Your device lost its network connection	Check that your smartphone or tablet is still connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data. If the connection dropped, reconnect to a stable network and click the recording button to restart the stream.
The secondary device went to sleep or the browser tab was closed	Make sure your secondary device’s screen is still on and the browser tab running the session hasn’t been closed or minimized for too long. Reopen it and reconnect if needed.
Camera permission was revoked or blocked	Check your device’s camera permissions for the browser you’re using. If access was turned off, re-enable it in your device settings and refresh the page.
Low battery triggered a device restriction	Some devices restrict camera access when the battery is critically low. Plug in your device and try reconnecting the stream.

Additional Tips

The “Camera streaming stopped” message clears automatically once the stream reconnects successfully, you don’t need to refresh the page.
If you didn’t intentionally stop the stream and it keeps disconnecting, this is likely a network or device issue rather than something wrong with the button itself.
Keep your secondary device plugged in and on a stable network throughout the session to avoid unexpected disconnections.
