[Wayland:Chromium] Camera effects crashes webcam

Using chromium or chromium-based browser e.g. brave, enabling camera effects crashes webcam on Wayland ozone platform if GPU compositing is ON.

I recently noticed this issue, was looking to see whether more people can reproduce it and confirm it's not an issue from my side.
If I use the camera on a chromium-based browser like Brave with wayland mode enabled, e.g.:

brave --ozone-platform-hint=auto --gtk-version=4

The camera, for example on Google Meet, works as long as I don't try to apply any effects, if I do, then it just shows up as a blank rectangle.
If I add the option --disable-gpu-compositing, then it works as expected.

Issue: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/47596

I get these logs during the crash:

Re: [Wayland:Chromium] Camera effects crashes webcam

I had the same symptom with google chrome 139 - showing white box when any screen effect is applied to the google meet video.

While I couldn't identify the cause, the issue is solved (not reproduced, at least) when I use google chrome 140, which is in the beta channel, at this point.

Confirming the report of the topic starter with Chrome 141 on NVidia GPU. Also confirming the workaround with --disable-gpu-compositing.
The problem does not occur on my laptop with an Intel GPU.

I'm also dealing with this issue (NVidia GPU). Seems that the --disable-gpu-compositing worked for me as well.

Tried various flags from the wiki to resolve this and the above flag is the only thing that worked.

Re: [Wayland:Chromium] Camera effects crashes webcam

Hello. I am using Brave

v1.88.138 (Apr 1, 2026) / Chromium to 146.0.7680.178

Suddenly I have also weird camera issues. The background removal (using Google Images or my own Images) in Google Meet doesn't work. I get a white screen in the cam area.

However my OBS Camera using the virtual camera works.

(Also Nvidia RTX something)

I give that --disable-gpu-compositing a try.

Thanks for pointing me in that direction

Re: [Wayland:Chromium] Camera effects crashes webcam

Thanks. --disable-gpu-compositing  did the trick.

Well I think it's a chrom(ium) issue - it works with Zoom.
