I just had a try with Firefox 107.0.1 under NetBSD 10.0_BETA and it seems to work with the video being displayed. The hardware was a Samsung all-in-one PC 64bit x86. The webcam info display shows: Webcam Name: Namuga (0x2232) WebCam SC-10IRQ Quality Rating: 863 Built-in Microphone: None Built-in Speaker: None Frame rate: 30 FPS Stream Type: video Image Mode: rgb Webcam MegaPixels: 0.92 MP Webcam Resolution: 1280×720 Video Standard: HD Aspect Ratio: 1.78 PNG File Size: 1.19 MB JPEG File Size: 593.78 kB Bitrate: 17.59 MB/s Number of Colors: 79346 Average RGB Color: Lightness: 49.80% Luminosity: 54.70% Brightness: 51.50% Hue: 64° Saturation: 11.81% I have the /dev/video* devices permissions set to crw-rw-rw- Firefox asked for permission to access the device and accepted my affirmative response.
