Description louicellier.jl 2021-03-04 17:20:12 UTC
SUMMARY
Falkon doesnt't allow to share audio and video with others in a Jitsi meeting (and probably others similar products).
The pop-up allowing use of micro and camera pops erraticly (sometimes, nothing appears), and when you select "allow", other participants won't have your audio or video. You will get yours but it won't be shared. In the same time, it's correctly share using Firefox.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a Jitsi meeting both on falkon and another device
2. When the pop-up menu appears, select "allow"
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
The camera is indeed activated, as you can see yourself, but it is not shared with other people in the meeting, same for microphone. For other people, you appear to have your camera and microphone deactivated. 

EXPECTED RESULT
The camera and microphone should be activated AND shared sot the other users could see and hear you.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

On Google meet, when you start up a meeting, a menu briefly appears about microphone and camera, but disappears and all you get is a blank page. It is even impossible to start actually the meeting.

With Qt 5.15 (QtWebengine 5.15.2) and Frameworks 5.81 I'm not having issues with audio and it'll allow me to be in meetings, both listening to people and talking.

Can't tell about camera because I don't have one. What I can't do is neither share my screen or see other person's shared screen, though up to december 2020 I could see someone else's shared screen, which is the reason I stumbled upon this - to file a bug about that.
