Preview not supported with mi8 (Android) phone by xiaomi

[sunnycliff85777]

It would appear I have the same problem Huawei users had a few years past with the preview being a blank screen (aside from an option to "set up live" which doesn't respond when I tap it). Downloading files hasn't been a problem however.

It would be a great help if any updates can resolve this issue. (And yes, I have disconnected and reconnected the wifi multiple times with a mi 8 and...mi 6? [My previous phone]).

Much thanks in advance and apologies for any extra work that I may have to burden whomever this may concern with.

The new update seemed to have addressed this problem and is working fine. Thanks for all your help guys. Keep up the good work.

Hi @sunnycliff85777, 

I just want to ask if you have another device such as iPhone, iPad or other android device aside from those phones. 

We'll check if it's the camera or a Mobile Phone Compatibility.

If it's working on other device please let us know what Device is that and provide the device that is not working and the Android Version of it. 

Thanks,

-jay

It is working perfectly on my friends iPhone 8 plus. As soon as it connects, the preview appears on his phone.

Good to know that the camera works with the iPhone8. There may be compatibility issues with the Xiaomi phone, particularly considering the OS the phone is running on, and the particular settings in it. Is your phone already updated to the latest OS? See if doing it will help. Let us know how it works out.  Thanks!
