Hi Jim, Welcome to Fedora
What version of Fedora ore you running? Workstation? F41?
Here are a few links I found for various camera issues. From them I glean that your camera may not be supported in the Linux Kernel. USB cameras are cheap, so some might suggest a broken camera is a feature!
With the backlight, can you set the brighness up-down with F5-F6?
The label means what it says. However, unsandboxed apps can do whatever they want (as Settings warns below ‘Permitted Apps’).
What may be happening is that going through the Camera portal isn’t working, and locking down the Camera portal entirely makes the app use Pipewire directly instead.
There have been some issues with certain portals not working reliably for unsandboxed apps. The Flatpak version should work properly.
Hey all!
So, after upgrading to Fedora Workstation 41 today I noticed that my built-in camera on my laptop is no longer recognised. Anyone else experiencing this? How do I solve it?
I ran a lsusb:
