So far, I have only had to use a webcam for taking online courses. And in recent years I have only worked with Jitsi meet
for courses.
In Fedora 40 and previous versions, both the internal and also the external Logitech Webcam were immediately available. Now, after upgrading to F41, I get the error message in Fedora that I need to enable access to camera and microphone first. When I go to the settings menu in Jitsi meet I see that the internal microphone of the laptop and the microphone of the Webcam are recognized. Cameras are not recognized.
v4l2-ctl --list-devices
gives this result:
Integrated Camera: Integrated C (usb-0000:00:14.0-8):
/dev/video0
/dev/video1
/dev/media0
UVC Camera (046d:0825) (usb-0000:39:00.0-1.3.4):
/dev/video2
/dev/video3
/dev/media1
When I start guvcview it always displays the settings menu. It is only after selecting a camera in that menu that guvcview displays image. As soon as I close the settings menu, gucview also closes.
Now, when I close and re-open Firefox, I first have to select a camera in the settings menu.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening here?
