Web camera in Chrome on Fedora 41

Hi Guys,

The web camera does not work in Chrome, but works in Firefox

I know that Fedora now relies on https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-41-Firefox-PipeWire-Cam but even I try to discover technical things, I am confused with Fedora internals

https://webcamtests.com/ show for:

  1. Firefox

  2. Chrome

pw-cli ls Node | grep Elgato 

 		node.description = "Elgato Facecam (V4L2)"
 		node.nick = "Elgato Facecam"

ls -l /dev/video*                               


crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 May  5 07:47 /dev/video0
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 1 May  5 08:10 /dev/video1
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 2 May  5 08:10 /dev/video2

Can you please help identifying problem?
Should I install v4l2convert , v4l2h264enc, v4l2loopback?

Ok, my bad. Once I tried again to go to chrome://flags and re-enable the PipeWire camera support flag it worked :slight_smile:
