Media import failed

Fix photo or video import problems by checking capture, file detection, and the temporary Looktech Wi-Fi connection.

If photo or video import fails, first make sure the glasses and phone stay close together during the whole import flow.


​

Keep the phone and glasses close

  • keep the phone and glasses within about 0.5 to 1 meter

  • stay in a stable environment

  • avoid crowded Wi-Fi areas when possible


​

Confirm capture is working

  • Take a photo with a short press of the Capture Button.

  • Record a video with a long press of the Capture Button.

Check for these signs:

  • normal capture sound effects play

  • you do not hear an error prompt

  • the capture indicator turns white during capture

If capture is not working:

  • fully charge the glasses

  • restart the glasses

  • if the issue continues, contact us in the app so support can review logs


​

Confirm the app sees new files

After capture, open the media import page in the app.

The app should show the importable file count increasing, such as 1 Media Ready.

If the count does not increase:

  • take 1 or 2 more photos and check again

  • restart the app

  • restart the glasses

  • keep the phone close to the glasses and retry


​

Start the import and check the Wi-Fi join prompt

  • Tap Import from Home or Photos.

  • Wait for the app to search for Wi-Fi.

  • When the system prompt asks to join the Looktech WLAN, tap Join.

No password is required.


​

Watch the import progress

After you join the temporary Looktech network:

  • the progress indicator should appear

  • the progress should keep increasing

  • the app should show Import successful when it finishes

If the join prompt never appears, Wi-Fi fails to join, or import gets stuck:

  • temporarily turn off VPN or iCloud Private Relay

  • make sure Local Network permission is enabled on iOS

  • make sure Wi-Fi is enabled on your phone

  • restart the app and try again

  • keep the phone screen on and stay in the app during import

  • keep the phone close to the glasses until the import is done


​

Contact support about the import failure

Contact us in the app as soon as the failure happens.

  • Capture a photo or video and try importing it.

  • As soon as import fails, open Settings in the app.

  • Tap Contact us.

  • Describe which step failed.

Examples:

  • "No prompt appeared to join the WLAN Network 'Looktech'"

  • "Joining 'Looktech' failed"

  • "Import started but got stuck at a certain percentage"

Attach screenshots if possible.
