Webcam not being recognized #10812

Can you use the Web cam in chrome/chromium? |
|
To be honest: I haven't tried that yet as I do not use any Google spy apps. |
|
The desktop app is built on chromium (electron) |
|
I have tried to use webcam with Chromium - this works without any issues. |
|
This is still an issue. |
|
I am experiencing the same issue in Linux Mint 19.3 and Riot 1.5.15. The camera works in Chromium, Firefox, Wire, and Cheese. |
|
I have found out what was "wrong" with my webcam - I did not read the manual until the end: _Riot supports video calling, but the camera interface is disabled by default. If you wish to enable the camera in the Riot snap, after installation issue the following command in a terminal:
|
|
Is everyone else here using the snap package? |
|
I used aptitude. |
|
I'am using snap. For me |
Confirmed on Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon, riot-web version: 1.5.15, olm version: 3.1.3. |
|
Okay so far seems that a few other had the same "issue" as I had. |
|
how can this be closed? still happens in latest Riot Desktop (Ubuntu), installed via ppa |
|
Closed it because my "bug" referrs to the snap installation and this was a simple user error. |
|
sorry my bad, took me a while as well to realize that snaps by default dont have camera permission and it can be solved by changing the permission in the software store :) |
