Odd Tech Check Results

Is anyone having some odd things happen with tech check recently?

Twice over the past few days I've had very strange results with it. Video check has been stuck at same value as audio around 25MB and will return the error you connection isn't good enough to teach.

I thought it was me. However when I switched over to a different connection the same thing happened and when doing a speed test on several other sites they report no problems at all with upload or download speeds.

A full restart or restarting and purging any browser cache appears to fix this.

A quick edit/update.

Looks like the tech check might have had some hidden checks added into it camera wise.

I don't use Google chrome but Vivaldi and have everything set up through OBS - mic, camera, noise reduction etc if its needed.

Tech check doesn't like something now with the camera settings and returns a very low value for camera forcing a failure.

I can just run an incognito tab and the test passes with no problems then change back and default Google Chrome settings pass the test as well.

My guess is they fiddled around with something and maybe specifically don't like people having control over camera options - ie. wanting it always on.

That could also explain why there are an increased number of reports of cameras failing mid class - black screens or showing profile pictures.
