Ensure that the [`ffmpeg`](/integrations/ffmpeg) integration is configured correctly. Verify that your stream is directly playable with `ffplay <stream_source>` or [VLC Media Player](https://www.videolan.org/). If you have changed your camera's entity configuration, you may need to [reset the accessory](#resetting-accessories).
#### Cameras streaming is unstable or slow
If your camera supports native H.264 streams, Home Assistant can avoid converting the video stream, which is an expensive operation. To enable native H.264 streaming when configured via YAML, change the `video_codec` to `copy`. To allow native H.264 streaming when via the UI, go to **Configuration** >> **Integrations** in the UI, click **Options** for your HomeKit Bridge, and check the box for your camera on the `Cameras that support native H.264 streams` screen.
#### One video stream limit per camera
Currently, cameras are limited to one video stream. Multiple streams are not possible at this time. One workaround is to create a second `HomeKit Bridge` to generate a copy of the camera accessory.
#### Camera audio is not streaming
Make sure `support_audio` is `True` in the camera's entity configuration.
