The camera issue is caused by the lack of an interface option turned on. Look in the camera setting for pivot or dynamic something. As for the LFG channel, have you opened up your Chat Setting? Open them up and click on the side tabs, try and find LFG channel. Check the box.

Thank you so much! I have been having this problem since I tried an addon that would make my camera swing around my toon like in Oblivion when I was afk. I got rid of the addon and everything but my camera was still messed up. The solution worked though. :D Thanks again! ^-^ (I know it's posting on a very, VERY old thread..but I figured I'd express my gratitude and let everyone know it still works...)

100 years later, the solution, /run ResetView(5); , helped me. I saw so many posts, looking for an answer. No one else could help me. Not sure why this isn't up all over the place for everyone to see. Thank you~

Had this issue for about two day before I came across this fix. I ran /run ResetView(5) reload & log in everything was fix. Have no clues what cause this problem was just random.

A billion years later I too was in need of this solution. /run ResetView(5) then /reload and all worked out well.
It was weird. The camera was always one move behind what I was pressing the arrow keys to do and would only straighten out when I ran forward.

Happened today with me as well, and /run ResetView(5) /reload helped me too.

If this fix doesn't persist through logouts for you try "/console cameraCustomViewSmoothing 1"; if you have altered your camera view settings (Set View/Save View etc.) and had camera problems afterwards, try these instructions to reset those views:
Press these keys in this order:
Set View 1, Reset View 1, Save View 1, Set View 1
Do the same for all of the other Views.
Using both of these methods fixed the camera not auto following correctly on one of my characters. You can change the keys for Set View/Reset View/Save View in the Key Bindings menu.

THANK YOU!
I have had a problem where my camera doesn't reset to behind my Character for YEARS!
I don't know how, or why it started but it has been driving me NUTS.
I have tried EVERYTHING over the years, resets, reloads, deleting WTF's, using addon, using NO addons... NOTHING worked, until NOW!
I don't know why I never found this post before, but I'm glad I found it now!
Typing this console command into the chat-box completely and, at least so far, permanently fixed the issue.
If you were in front of me I'd give you a kiss on the mouth!

Hello, I know it's a old post.
In 2022 Feb, is got this issue. After tried all options give here and nothing worked, I accidentally press "Home" button on my keyboard and it suddenly fixed.
Then I realized, there is built-in view change system can navigate using "Home" and "End" keys.
( In case you customise your keybinds, it's under Camera section, called next view and previous view).
Hope this help someone,

Some DF quest messed up my camera and: /run ResetView(5) /reload fixed it. Don't forget to reload. It was the Murloc timeline quest near the end of the Thaldraszus storyline.

Best post out there about this .
100% worked.
I had a problem where my camera wasnt following the raycast of my character.
Holding left or right was only my character turning on itself without the camera following.
Thankyou

THANK YOU
this saved my mental sanity and fixed the problem
my issue with camera started last saturday with my dk getting affected by a forced spinning into a direction (to the extend i fell from platform during sark HC raid cause I had no way to move in the direction i wanted) this happened while camera was on its own trip, slowly rotating around my dk causing me to have to fight with side view instead of camera at my back, and it kept rotating around my dk to even reach frontal view: try to move with AWDS with frontal view without "training" it for a bit during boss fight... not funny.
somehow the forced spinning into direction disappeared 2-3 days after that but the camera was messed up, i made a basic keybind (letter T in my case but thats cause i have customized all default keysbinds) to centre camera and have view to my dk's back, this made it possible to me to keep playing as everytime camera went on with its trip i just pressed T, it was annoying but somehow i felt i gotta live with it...
HELL NO, I DON'T! Thanks to you, it's really a huge help
ps. this camera issue affected also my prot pally alt, where i found myself facing opposite direction as the boss i was taunting and thats just awful...

Total n00b here - this is the second time my wife has sucked me into playing, but I'm actually trying to give it a chance this time. The camera was not sticking to where I set it - every time I'd reset it to just behind and slightly above, then hop on as a passenger (so she can run me around to do stuff), it would wind up looking straight at one should or another... or something different... randomly. No rhyme or reason to speak of. It was driving me nuts, and had the potential to make me quit (I'm an old school FPS gamer, and getting used to the WoW stuff is hard enough without the camera perspective messing up all the time).
I ran the console commands above and so far, so good. Don't know what kind of magic sauce just happened... don't know, and don't care... just happy it seems to be fixed (for now).
Glad I was able to find this thread.
