Zoom videoconference issue

[t0t0]

I’ve consistently had issues doing Zoom videoconferencing on Qubes. The consistent symptom is that the camera won’t stay connected to a VM. In Qubes 4.0, Debian and Fedora VMs both had the problem. I’ve upgraded to 4.1, and same thing. I have a Librem 15 laptop with an embedded Quanta HD camera.

When using Jitsi Meet, on Qubes 4.0, Debian 10 and Fedora 3x had the same issue. On 4.1, Jitsi Meet on Debian 11 works well, but not on Fedora 36.

Just curious if anyone else has experienced this.

I’m having trouble with using two different webcams: Logitech C270 and Azurewave Integrated Camera (Thinkpad T14s) I’m aware of other threads on the topic and have already increased memory for sys-usb to 1024MB (which was the solution in Unable to connect my Webcam to any AppVM; connects and then fails). The behavior is different than described in the other threads: Webcam gets connected to AppVM Webcam briefly shows up in settings (MS Teams or Jitsi) Webcam disappears again The behavior is…
