So when your Cura only shows "print via cloud" then Cura cannot find the printer in your network. The easiest solution is to go to the printer settings page in Cura, select your printer and click on the connect button. Normally your printer appears in the list, select it and click connect. The reason is that for some reasons, Cura has lost the connection and was not able to reestablish it automatically. A Cura restart could also help.
If you don't want to use the cloud features, then you can remove your printer from the cloud. So it is optional to use it. You can do this on the printer itself or if I remember correctly also from the cloud (digital factory)
And the reason why your video stream is not working is the same why Cura cannot connect directly to your printer. So after doing the steps above your video stream will also work again I guess.
1) you have actively connected your printer to the cloud (via https://digitalfactory.ultimaker.com).
2) the printer cannot be found by Cura on the local network (which is always the preferred networking route).
So this is a pretty active opt-in. The reason we're doing more and more via the cloud however is to actually prevent issues with local networking, which are very common due to the many different LAN setups our users have. If you're worried about security or privacy, I can refer you to our support section about this topic.
As for the camera, this is not available in Cura when using cloud, but it is available on https://digitalfactory.ultimaker.com when using an Ultimaker S3 or S5 with the latest firmware, or when you use the local network on any of our connected printers.

I appreciate the explanation. There was indeed a network connection problem which I just resolved, and the option went back to "print over network". Thanks!

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

"print over cloud" is only available when:
1) you have actively connected your printer to the cloud (via https://digitalfactory.ultimaker.com).
2) the printer cannot be found by Cura on the local network (which is always the preferred networking route).
