You have been subscribed to a public bug: The video displays for a second somewhat garbled and then this error message is displayed:
"There was an error playing video from webcam" Output of `lsusb` Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:579f Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Changing the resolution to 160x120 allows video to be displayed. Anything higher causes the error message to be displayed. This is on a Razer Blade (late 2016).
