    I know that my preferred browser (librewolf) does not and doesn't have a native build for OpenSuSE and often has problems with video conferencing in the flatpak. Its the only reason I've kept vanilla firefox installed.

    Interesting. I have flatpack Chrome and camera works (hence my it should). OTOH I have dnf Firefox and camera doesn't work because 'You did not allow the browser to use the web camera. Reload the page and try again.' I guess (your) Firefox issue might not be related to flatpak. (Fedora 42/KDE)

    Yeah, I think it's more related to the inherent security settings in librewolf and the sandboxing flatpak does not meshing well, which is fine as that's a great upside for it. It's not a big deal to have a dedicated browser, but I'd rather be able to block most if not all the crap when I do need to use the webcam which is why I avoid Chromium browsers when possible.
