Purchased BI a month ago but had been playing with the demo version for a year. This software is amazing. Stumbled across your forums and saw talk of ui3. I am interested in seeing my cams from other devices in my home. When I go to to that web interface from another PC in my house, I can only see one of my cams at a time in live view. Would like to see my layout of cameras at one time. Am I missing a setting?
Multiple Cam view on ui3?

Welcome!
If you have tapped a camera, it will show only that camera. Tapping in the image should return you to the multi-cam view.
Unless of course you have gone crazy with the setup and developed groups and are only showing a group with one camera.
Some screenshots of what you are seeing would be good to help diagnose if something else is going on if the above doesn't show them.

In UI3 in the upper left corner, choose the 'All cameras' group in 'Filter by:' BI makes a group called 'All cameras'. You can make different groups in BI to display in this filter. Cameras can be members of multiple groups.
Mine doesn't look the same. I go to 192.168.1.160:81 and it brings up
I have tried 192.168.1.160/ui3 and it can't find it.

The screens can look different depending on your version.
You may have to delete cache so it doesn't add all that extra on the end.
What other options are available in this pulldown - you should have the option to see them all

So you did as I mentioned above and went all crazy with groups lol
You put each camera in there own individual group, so it will only show that camera.
Create another group called "All Cams" and add every camera to that group and when you select the All Cams group then they all will show.
Or delete all the groups unless you need each camera in its own separate group.

OK, you are in Live View, I was in Clips.
Go to BI and make an All Cams group. Then add each cam to that group. Open up the settings for a cam, any cam. See below:

Thank you both for pointing at the groups. I was a little crazy because I didn't create ANY groups. Guess when you don't create any groups the drop down just shows the cam names. Took me a few minutes to figure out the way the groups work. Thanks to both for the help and now I may setup a dedicated RPi3+ for this.

Top center of Blue Iris is a dropdown list of your groups. Find the "All cameras" group (should be selected by default actually) and click the gear icon next to it. Make sure webcasting is enabled for it. I am betting that got turned off somehow for you (if not this, then check your BI Settings > Web server > Users permissions to make sure they have access to all cameras)
Coincidentally this is also where you can tweak the frame rate if you find it is not smooth enough when displaying the All cameras group. Be careful if you don't have a very powerful CPU because a higher group frame rate eats a lot of CPU when you're viewing it remotely. I would never go over 30 FPS for this, in fact I only use 30 myself because I have a really powerful CPU in my Blue Iris machine.

It's late, just got off work,,,,Sounds kinda naughty, makes me think of swingers, with all these cameras running around back and forth in multiple groups.
