Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-chromium (Nobody) <chromium@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 271048: www/chromium: regression with webcams from version 111 to 112 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=271048 --- Description --- It appears that chromium never seems to enable images from the webcam even though it has been granted permission. The simplest test is to go to webcamtests.com with Chromium and try to see if the webcam works. In Chromium versions 111 and likely earlier: Webcamtests.com works as expected and you get an image from the webcam. In Chromium versions 112: The page stays at "Waiting for permission" and never proceeds, although the light from the webcam turns on and the tab gets a recording symbol, no image is shown. Other applications like firefox and pwcview work, so it seems to be an issue with Chromium Tested on: Working versions: FreeBSD 13.1-p7: Chromium 111.0.5563.64 FreeBSD 13.2-RC6: Chromium 111.0.5563.147 Non-working Versions: FreeBSD 13.1 and 13.2: Chromium 112.0.5615.121 and Chromium 112.0.5615.165 Unfortunately, I have to use Microsoft Teams and there is an expectation to be able to see my face, so it would be nice if this would work again.
