Description Nicolas F. 2022-11-11 11:57:56 UTC 
SUMMARY
Please implement the org.freedesktop.portal.Camera portal. This portal allows PipeWire to choose cameras, which is important for the future when we're going to be doing multitasking (what an exciting new age) with cameras on Linux, which isn't possible with v4l2 but is possible with the PipeWire daemon wrapping it.

One particular application that needs this portal is this obs fork: https://github.com/wtay/obs-studio/tree/pipewire-unified-dev

Camera portal is implemented only in the frontend. Backends dont need to implement it.
