In-Game "web browsing" video disabled or blocked/restricted

[Cinderwolf]

I subbed to a copy of Mansions of Madness in the workshop ( Complete Mansions of Madness 2nd Edition ) and found there's a "tablet" screen included that lets you browse the internet, ideally for anyone that wants to stream the Steam App itself within said browser (since this board game actually needs an external app to be played, which Steam also carries).

The down side is finding a streaming service that actually works within the browser (twitch video is blocked, I can join a browser session in discord and see the video preview but it's infinite loading, and join.me supposedly works but it's a paid platform).

I don't suppose there's any way to get the attention of Berserk Games to see if they would be willing to tweak/allow in-game video streaming to enable games that require a third party app in the first place? Not every player running TTS has a second screen these days and for some, streaming the video of a game app to a small phone screen isn't appealing or overly functional.

You would think the tablet in TTS would be more useful when playing games that use apps.

One would think that, for sure. I can understand if it's from an "exploit" point of view, perhaps... but I suspect it was an over-looked function entirely, given that it's still pulling data from the video stream in Discord and would display a frozen "frame" of video from the "video preview" before clicking on it to view the video stream (which gave me an infinite loading animation).

While there may not be money in this sort of a fix/functionality implementation, it would definitely help those of us that want to enjoy these types of games (Descent, Mansions of Madness, Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth, Star Wars: Imperial Assault, etc) when people can't get together due to scheduling, distance, and the whole general state of health/covid situations lately. :(

https://hello.freeconference.com/ worked for us. One guy hosts and screenshares the app(and does the in app controls). Then all you have to do is to connect to conference via TSS tablet. Worked like a charm.

I've tried this method but TTS's tablet keeps loading forever... And I can't find any other workarounds.
