Description eduardjbotha 2021-11-09 15:05:02 UTC

After installing the Plasma Integration Chrome plugin to Google Chrome, Google Meet still works, but the camera only shows black.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Chrome
2. Install Plasma Integration plugin
3. Start a Google Meet meeting

OBSERVED RESULT
The camera switches on (hardware light is shining), but no picture of myself is shown.
When trying this in a cognito window, the camera works again, since the plugins aren't active.
When disabling the plugin and opening a Meet, the camera shows my picture again, as expected.

EXPECTED RESULT
I should see myself when in Google Meet


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 35
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Leonidas Arvanitis 2022-08-23 16:17:09 UTC

The issue is caused by the "Media Controls" feature.

Workaround - To disable for Google Meet specifically,
1. visit https://meet.google.com/
2. click on the Plasma Integration icon in the toolbar / extensions menu
3. uncheck the site under Media Controls
4. reload Google Meet

This issue now occurs on the recent release of openSUSE Tumbleweed (20241215).  It did not before.

Unfortunately, it appears the only site where it is not working properly is Google Meet.  With the three site options[1], the only option for my workflow is to allow the plugin to work "on all sites" and globally disable the "Media Controls" > "Enhanced Media Controls"

::: References :::

1 - The plugin has three options for site access:  On all sites, on click or on specific sites.
