Sorry for the off topic, but couldn't find a solution to this on
the web,
so I'm trying here one last time before I give up.
In short, gmail and google hangouts used to see my camera and I was able
to do video conferencing, but for about a month google says no camera
detected.
Are you running Fedora under GNOME Shell?
I was using Google Chrome to not have to install the plugins on
Firefox, but I noticed that Google Chrome running on Fedora with Gnome
Shell under Wayland and sharing desktop and camera did not work. So I
switched back to GNOME under X.org and that did the trick.
The camera is attached via a usb caption device and uses the usbtv
driver,
which in turn uses v4l2. The driver loads, I have /dev/video0 with the
right permissions
Is this a laptop or a desktop, I faced the issues on my laptop.
Polite as usual,
Porfirio.
