A red X next to any device indicates that the device is offline.

There are three primary reasons for an offline device:

  1. no network connection on the device

  2. firewalls preventing connection to embed (see here for more on firewalls)

  3. the embed application is not currently running

IMPORTANT: To download content published from your account, the device needs to be online, connected to embed and running the embed application.

When you hover over the red cross you will see the time and date of when the device was last online.

Why does my device need to be online?

Your device needs to be online to download any published content or to get live data (for features such as weather, RSS feeds, Power BI, YouTube etc..)
