Whenever I start the camera on Google meet via Google Chrome, the camera shows fine with a few seconds, then goes full white. I get a lot of GL errors:

As you can see by the time stamps, it happens several times per second.

Here is how I start chrome, after trying random things from the Internet that promised to help:

export __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia && \
/usr/bin/google-chrome \
    --enable-features=RunVideoCaptureServiceInBrowserProcess \
    --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform \
    --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL \
    --enable-features=WebRTCPipeWireCapturer \
    --ozone-platform-hint=auto \
    --ozone-platform=wayland \
    --use-angle=gl \
    --use-gl=angle \

Any suggestions? :folded_hands:

A few more debugging:

  • If I join the same Google Meet call from Firefox (running on Wayland too), the camera works just fine. It’s the on Google Chrome that the camera breaks.
  • The camera works fine with webcam-test…
  • As soon as I remove blurred background and Greyscale filters, the camera works again.

This is annoying. :enraged_face:

Assuming that you’re using an NVIDIA GPU, it seems that Chromium has issues when running with wayland ozone-platform.

Yes, I am using Nvidia… For my sins or something. That would explain it.

From the issue, adding the flag --disable-gpu-compositing does make the filters work.

Thank you so much @leorize! You’re a star :star:
