Is there anyway to prevent streaming videos from timing out?

[Windows Central Question]

Hi, sometimes I like to put a live streaming webcam on my TV, but after so long the websites automatically timeout the video and I have to keep pressing play again every 15-30 minutes.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this and keep it playing?

Thanks.

There are plugins for Firefox and Chrome that will allow you to "reload" the page at set intervals, such as every 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes, or whatever time you decide. You might look into something like that.

If you still have to press play after a reload, you may want to find an Autohotkey script that can press the play button for you. You'd have to do a search for it, though, but it is possible.
