Hi,

I’m using the 8th wall Magic Photos A-Frame template for my thesis and I’m having difficulty with it only working in preview mode. Once I publish the project and scan the QR code nothing happens. Nothing happens to show it sees my image target and it doesn’t show anything for the video. Low power mode is not activated on my iOS device.

Are you making sure to LAND before publishing changes?
