Description Iyán M. V. 2025-10-23 12:44:04 UTC
SUMMARY
When the Plasma Integration is installed and enabled in Firefox, background filters like the blur effect cannot be used and only the input video from the webcam can be used.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install and enable the extension
2. Enter to Teams and start a meeting
3. Before joining, in the preview screen you can already check that the video does not work when using any background filters.

OBSERVED RESULT
The webcam is enabled (my particular webcam Logitech C920 has some blue leds when is used), it is detected by Teams, and it works just fine without any background filters. Trying to enable any filters like a blur background results in an empty video stream. For the user it looks like an empty video, for other participants a black screen is shown.

EXPECTED RESULT
Background filters should work with the plasma extension.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Perhaps related to Bug 507991

Also, for some reason my extension is stucked at version 1.9.1, but in the repo I see tags for versions 2.0 and 2.1 (https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-browser-integration/-/tags). Manually forcing to check new updates does nothing.

I can see that in the Firefox Add-ons site, the latest version is 1.9.1:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/plasma-integration/

While in the Chrome web store it is 2.1:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/plasma-integration/

I cannot reproduce the issue in Chrome or Chromium.
Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2025-11-12 10:31:15 UTC
2.1 is released on Firefox now.
