Re: activating camera on ms teams bin AUR package

Is it recognized by the video subsystem?

v4l2-ctl --list-devices

qv4l2

Re: activating camera on ms teams bin AUR package

v4l2-ctl --list-devices

requires root permissions to run, but yes, it does.

qv4l2

detects nothing and can not be run as root

Re: activating camera on ms teams bin AUR package

What are the permissions? Should be

crw-rw----+ 1 root video ... /dev/video...

The + indicates POSIX ACL is used as well, so:

getfacl /dev/video*

That should have an entry with read/write permissions for your username.
