I am having hard time with this... as other's can't see me, I can see myself anyway on the teams.
Tested with www/chromium -works- so no camera permissions for sure.
Is some codec I miss or just www/firefox on FreeBSD is .... crippled? Thanks!
 
Are you talking about MS Teams?
I use it every day for work in Waterfox on FreeBSD.
I remember the issue with not seeing other's video over a year ago, but now it's OK.
 
aragats yes, MS Teams.. I can see myself on the video - and even sites like webrtc check / webcamtest etc - issue is they can't!
They only see a white or black screen (depends their theme..)
 
xchris like Geezer said, MS only supports teams on Blink (Chrom*, Edge) or Webkit (Safari). Running under Firefox is only okay for chat.

1:1 calls, it will depend on the phase of the moon (i.e. Teams web and Firefox releases)
1:N calls, likewise

Please note that sometimes you may get all of the above working on Firefox but don't depend on it. The only decent solution for FreeBSD (or Linux for that matter) is to use Chromium.
 
ok thanks.. for the replies, its just BS any stories around that teams works with firefox on FreeBSD
it works with firefox on linux in fact (just checked it on my Alpine box)
