So I was checking my cameras on my laptop and my dog ran over my lap and laptop. Something happened with one of my cameras. It's not in the main BI group feed (or any sub group). But if I click on the camera properties icon it comes up.

Is there a selection I need to get it back or do I just have to delete it and re add it?

Thanks!

you likely moved it to the desktop. put it back by minimizing blue iris, right click the camera and uncheck "open in desktop frame" then enable drag lock.

It was weird I could still see the camera in the iphone app but when I got home and tried what you suggested there was nothing on the desktop level.

What finally got it back was for me to right click in the main camera's screen and select maximize frame. Then hitting esc got me back out of that mode and the camera was suddenly there. Thanks Fenderman!
