Can confirm it doesn't work with my webcam or laptop integrated camera, when using with Firefox on discord. Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.10.6-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600 In my case, it doesn't work with my laptop integrated camera when from Firefox, Chromium, Zoom (Flatpak) and MS Teams (Flatpak) . It works fine with Kamoso. Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.10.6-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz Memory: 19.4 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620 Can confirm that it appears with Kamoso but not with other apps. I'm pretty sure this used to work. I recall it appearing in the System Tray for more than just Kamoso in the past. JFYI the fact that it shows two cameras is probably because the IR camera for facial recognition technically shows up as a different device. I get this on my machine too. You can actually select the IR camera in video apps! It produces a pretty trippy picture. :D *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 482614 *** Created attachment 175293 [details] attachment-4052190-0.html Excellent thank you!

SUMMARY I love the concept of this tray entry but it doesn't seem to work. It installed itself during a Fedora update but I see it sits idle showing no camera active even while I'm on a Teams meeting clearly using the primary (only) webcam in this Dell XPS laptop. Also curiously the applet shows two cameras though my system only has one. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Fire up a teams meeting or any app that uses webcam. 2. Show self view to verify camera is live. OBSERVED RESULT Camera Indicator applet still shows "No camera is in use" EXPECTED RESULT "Camera is in use" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS > kinfo > Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 > KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 > KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 > Qt Version: 6.7.2 > Kernel Version: 6.10.6-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) > Graphics Platform: X11 > Processors: 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz > Memory: 15.3 GiB of RAM > Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Xe Graphics ``` ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have a screenshot but it has quite a bit of sensitive info so will only share directly if needed plz.
