Hi everyone - quick update from our side, it looks like google is experiencing major outages across the board right now which is affecting watch.lolesports.com (all the things, but Pro View most heavily).
So sorry about the problems, we are triaging actively on our side.
I posted this somewhere else, but I'll share again.
My #1 desire for it is to be able to pop out individual streams into their own windows while they are sharing the same video player settings, so if I pause one, they all pause, and they are all synced together. I have two monitors, but with proview as it is, I have to keep it on a single one. I'd love it if I could have the proview on my main monitor with the main stream on the second with the sound of the casters.
I tried to do this by having two instances with the eye button to share, but when I click in and copy the link into a new tab, it just shows the vods page for proview. Maybe this is because it doesn't work with vods, maybe it's an issue on my end, or maybe the functionality isn't there to have two synced connections on one computer. IDK.
I'm not a dev, so I don't know the complexities of popping out individual streams but staying synced. Might be hard when considering VODs (which is 90% of what I watch).
An alternative, or additive, feature could be allowing listening to the cast on any stream. So I can watch a single instance of proview, but listen to the cast as well. It would be could if there was a button that swapped between the main stream and the last proview you had up. So I could watch a top laner, maybe he's off splitpushing, and I hear in the cast that a teamfight is happening. I can click the button and watch the main stream and then after the fight swap back with the same button all without losing the cast audio. I know this is possible right now with the select stream button in the middle, but doing that interrupts the action.
Like I said, I'm interested in proview and I don't regret my purchase. I think it's a good first step and, with some adjustments, I might pick it up again in the future.
Popping video into multiple browsers is something we have chatted about internally. It does work with watch with friends as you mentioned, but only on live games (a bug we need to squash). We are also investigating more user control over audio for sure. Thanks for the feedback!
There are a number of Pro View bugs I am experiencing:
1) If I navigate to the Pro View VODs page, I can see all the games and a hand symbol appears but clicking does nothing, no VOD will load. The exception to this is the MSI best of 5 series which I can click on the numbers 1 -5 and load a VOD.
2) if I am on a Pro View page I cannot navigate to another Pro View page, i.e. I cannot navigate from Pro View Watch to Pro View VODs or vice versa, I have to exit to another web page and then reaccess Pro View.
3) the volume randomly mutes itself over and over again every few seconds. I have to reload the page when this happens to make it stop.
4) The game actions on the timeline randomly stop working every now and then regardless of what you do with the settings. I have to reload the page to get them back.
I am sure there are others...
All of these with Firefox on windows 10.
Edit: posting this here and hoping you can fix some of this!
Edit 2: when it works it is fantastic so no regrets paying for it - just want it to work all the time and with all content!
Wow, thanks for the post! I will add all of these to the bug list and we will start trying to reproduce so that squashing can begin.
I love pro view. How about a "minions meet" event on the timestamp? basically 1:30 game time
LOL love the name.

We had several issues over the weekend with the rewards platform, but it should be healthier now. If you still see issues overnight ping me and We will follow up. Sorry for the interruptions everyone!
Hi Samspudzz,
Due to the widespread google outages we had some issues with authentication and logging in on watch.lolesports.com. This should be fixed now, so if you are still seeing a purchase prompt please DM me and we will try to hunt down the bug
if i watch vods of my team on lolesports, do they count towards my mission? ive watched both vods and they have not counted toward my mission rewards
Yo! We had issues yesterday with our rewards infrastructure, however it should be resolved now. Live games / VODs in both Pro View or regular watch will count towards rewards!
I am having issues with the Fan Pass on OCE. Still upset I couldn't get a team pass however I am not getting credit for my Fan Pass missions whether it's a live game or VOD from Pro View or not. Do I have to watch the OPL specifically?
Hmmm interesting. Let me call in u/riotkatana
