Problem with ESP32-CAM video on browser on Android phone

I recently got an ESP32-CAM and I have created a simplified version of the example "CameraWebServer" that comes with the ESP32 core. Both the example and my modified version work fine on the browser on my PC (both Opera and Chrome). But neither example works on the Chrome browser on my Android phone. I had hoped to be able to show a short demo to some friends this evening.

The example basically shows a set of user controls (sliders and buttons) and the live image streamed from the camera.

On the phone browser the background image (i.e. the buttons and the space for the video) appears but the controls don't work and the video does not appear.

I don't know enough about the format that the ESP32 uses to send video nor about differences between browsers for a PC and those for a phone.

I am posting this in the hope that someone with more knowledge might be able to suggest a quick fix based on this very limited information.

Thanks

UPDATE: Problem seems to have gone away when I updated Chrome on my phone. I normally don't use Chrome on the phone because I can't figure out its user interface. I normally use a browser called "Intenet" which has an interface much more like a PC.
