Description Yauhen Shulitski 2024-01-26 13:58:36 UTC
Hi,

Videochat WebRTC solutions like Google Meet don't work in the latest Firefox 122 build from fedora. It does work if I just download tar.gz file from the official firefox website (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/download/thanks/).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Google meet meeting with camera enabled
Actual Results:  
No one in the meeting can see or hear you 

Expected Results:  
Your videocamera stream is visible for all participants

Reproducible on Firefox 122.0-1.fc39

Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2024-01-26 14:35:19 UTC
Can you try to attend the meeting with new profile?
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Firefox_problems#Test_Firefox_with_a_new_profile

Can you also try another WebRTC page?
https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html

Also can you try to run Firefox under X11? Run on terminal with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 env variable like:

MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 firefox

Thanks.

Hi Martin,

getUserMedia call works locally for me without problem. I also tried different WebRTC solutions and it is the same problem - I can see the video preview, but no one can see my video. I tried running it with 
`MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 firefox` no luck, also tried it in the new profile - no luck.

Comment 3 Florian Weimer 2024-01-26 15:28:52 UTC
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1875201 suggests it's due to --with-system-libvpx, which we use in Fedora builds.

Comment 4 Frédéric Bérat 2024-01-30 12:04:24 UTC
Since I face the same problem, I tried everything suggested here without success.

I can confirm that the flatpak works without troubles.

I'm currently using the following workaround, even though I don't like changing `about:config` stuff:
