Default A Question about Live Cams in the Squares

I wonder if anyone help me access the Live Cams that are in each of the 3 squares. I used to be able to access the Live Cams in SS, LSL, and Brownwood, and I had these links bookmarked so I could easily look at what was happening. But those web links no longer work, and when I go to The Villages web site and click on Live Cam (at the bottom of the screen), all I get is Brownwood.

Does anyone know how to see the feeds from the Live Cams at Spanish Springs or Lake Sumter Landing?????

The live cams are on the home page of the free Villages App.

Thanks everyone. That is what I was looking for. Kept trying to figure it out and in the end, I said there are a lot of people here in The Villages and surely many of them will know. I like to look at the views when I am back north for the summer. Plus, since we know where the camera's are, we occasionally will call or text our kids and they can see on the web cams. Sure makes them envious when we are in shorts and they are out shoveling snow !!!!!

Probably discussed before, anyone know why audio is not included with the video feed?

Likely because the cams are too far away to hear anything other than birds sitting on them or spiders spinning their webs. The new YouTube based cams are SO MUCH better than what was previously available.

Thanks to everyone for your help. Yesterday I found another link to each of the Live Cams on The Villages web site. It used to be reached from the Lifestyle web page and they must have changed the link, but this now works as well - Entertainment | The Villages

You can click on each of the town center headings and then choose "Live on the Square". You don't get all 3 town centers at once, but it does allow you to find out who the entertainment is that is pulling in really big crowds that night. To see who the entertainer is that night, select "View All" for the Entertainment Calendar and then refine the search by indicating "Entertainment" for the Event Type and "Town Squares" for the Location. I'll probably use all 3 methods (the App, the 3 camera display, and this one) until we get back to The Villages, at which time we will in one of the squares and people will be watching us on camera

Watching people dance is so nice but it would be so cool to also hear the music.

I want to say THANK YOU to "anothersteve". I had seen those other views on The Villages app, but couldn't figure out the URL to display them on my computer. That is great. And I agree with "Velvet", it would be nice to get the audio but in the mean time I'll just connect to the WVLG station web site and listen to the radio station while I'm watching everyone else have fun. Marking off the days on the calendar until we get back.

The audio feed to the sound system could also be directed to the live video.
