WebRTC audio/video does not work

[Andrea Bernabei]

This is probably not the right component for the bug, but I hope somebody who has a bigger picture of how the whole thing works will add the other affected components as well (oxide? or maybe it's a problem with chromium itself).

WebRTC audio/video currently does not work. This can be tested by loading websites such as meet.jit.si which offer a WebRTC compliant videocalling service.

Currently it seems microphone/camera are not detected at all (permission issue maybe?)

There is a report that the same happens using Firefox Hello using a more convoluted setup (Firefox running on XMir, there's a fresh post about it on Ubuntu-Phone mailing list, but the ML web archive doesn't show the post yet, so I can't link it here, sorry)

This is the log from webbrowser-app when visiting meet.jit.si :

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Andrea Bernabei (faenil)]

Should I create a more generic one, given that it doesn't work on Firefox either?

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

No, that’s a separate issue, please file a bug against the firefox package.
