One of the problems with my Jitsi session was the Webcam. This webcam has been successfully used with WhatsApp web video conferences. vlc doesn't find it, but cheese does (without sound)
I have another old webcam 'ov519' that used to work and still works on a R-Pi, and I resurrected that to test. Cheese doesn't find it, but vlc does but without audio. I keep intending to try and see if I can test a zoom link before making a call. - No, can test within call, but not before connecting. Anyone familiar with Ekiga? Is it worth a try to test my webcam?
