Hello all,

Need to change vidio length and other changes but on iMac no pencil to go to that section. I have pencils on iPhone and iPad but not on Mac.

The help tells me to sign in, well i do use the only E-mail and password i have and still no help. Yes i have reset base, deleted all base and cameras, still cant get to the pencils in Mode.

Any help ???

We wanted to let everyone know that our development team was able to resolve the issue where you can see the edit button now through the Mode Settings on Safari and Microsoft Edge.

No it is not the base station.

I can't get into mode using the computer to change the way the camera works.

I assume your using Edge or Chrome as your browser...........Looks like Arlo "updated" the website and now they have intruduced another bug for Edge. You can no longer edit a mode using edge. In chrome the arrows that you normally click to edit a mode may be missing, but if they are just click in that area and you can edit the mode in chrome. Hopefully Arlo fixes their website so it works with Edge again.

jeross,

 

What device and firmware are you experiencing the issue with? Do you have a screenshot of this?

Here you go........ you can see there are no arrows on the right of the mode where you'd click to edit the mode. Clicking the mode anywhere on the line only changes modes, you can't edit the mode in edge anymore. Screen shot attached...

I can confirm that you can edit a mode in Chrome. You cannot edit in Edge. (also still can't play library videos in Edge)

 

Devs need to fix the site to work with recent MS updates and Edge please.

OK I see an issue, in Windows Edge I can not edit the Modes, but In chrome I can edit the Modes. Note the Edit link on the right site.
Microsoft Edge 44.17763.1.0
Chrome Version 72.0.3592.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit)
