Hi @Leafstrider,

Thank you for your first post here in the Roku Community!

We understand you are unable to add a new Roku camera to your IP camera viewer app. We're happy to assist you. When you want to see what’s going on around your home, you can pull up a live video stream from any of your Roku Smart Home cameras or your video doorbell. Simply open the Roku Smart Home mobile app or launch the Roku Cameras channel on your Roku streaming device, and from either place, you can easily see what trouble your pets are into or check if that special package has arrived. You can also live stream your camera and doorbell on a smart display with Google Assistant or Alexa built-in, or the Alexa app.

You may also want to check out this support article here on how to view a live video stream from your Roku Smart Home camera or video doorbell.

Please let us know if there's anything else that we can do to assist you.

Kind regards,
John

Thanks for the reply but you missed the mark on that..  There are 3 camara aps that ive seen and I probably should have put it in quotes "ip camera viewer basic" not "ROKU cameras" or "IP viewer pro"

I tried to describe in detail what i was running into in hopes someone else migt say it shouldnt do that. and tell what i might be missing on that.

I also now see i posted this to roku cameras my bad... ill try to find another area to post it where it should be. so thanks for the reply i wouldnt have caught my error if you hadnt.
