Overview
You may notice while recording your screen with the Vidyard Chrome extension that you camera bubble reloads whenever you switch to a new browser tab.
Symptom
The camera image element refreshes every time the tab you are recording is either reloaded or when you switch to a new tab. The camera circle in the bottom-left of the screen appears black or disappears completely until it reloads a few seconds later on the new page.
Cause
By design, the camera element is recreated every time a tab is reloaded or the screen switches to a new tab (during full-screen recordings).
Solution
This element is working as designed. This will not halt the audio or screen recording in any way. Simply continue your recording as the camera will reload itself automatically within a second or two.
Tip: if necessary, pause the video before you move to another tab, then hit resume once the camera has loaded.
