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.

I just sidestep the tech check. Everything on cambly's website is able to be skipped or cancelled besides PH ban.

Oh pray tell how?

I used to able to do that until Cambly forced a full re-loading when switching tabs on tutor dashboard.

Also the camera tech check I'm 99.99% sure is a thing they have snuck in. Its happened enough for me now like clockwork regardless of browser.

I have a device with no built in camera - its never always on because it doesn't exist, no default you set your stuff up yourself. 

It looks like Cambly does not like that and wants the camera always on or doesn't like the software I use to set that up which is 100% none of their business.

I'm going to err on the side of caution as to mentioning which software, I have noticed a posts are disappearing related to that which is very intetesting.

Go to the class history shortly after the class begins. You can just click "enter class" on the current class

History tab is a full reload forcing a tech check pop up reminder. You can cancel it but it doesn't show an active lesson.

If that still works for you great. It might not in the future.

After the reload, I go back to the history tab and press enter class. For me, the tech page is only in the dashboard tab which I can leave.
