Unable to send or receive Microsoft Teams video feeds on Chromium

This started as a H264 codec problem, but latest chromium versions seem to have proper H264 support on Fedora (at least it says so).

However, I still cannot stream MS Teams video inbound or outbound on chromium (neither camera feed nor screen sharing). It works on Google Chrome, though.

If I start chromium on a terminal, it complains it cannot negotiate a proper codec:

I reported bug 2264332 on Fedora’s bugzilla, but I was wondering if someone has any clue on how to fix or work around this.

Just to give this some closure, this problem has been fixed on chromium-125.0.6422.141-1.fc40 ! :partying_face: Kudos to Than Ngo from Red Hat for stepping up and providing a fix :clap:
