Greetings

I can't use my webcam while hosting a webex session from Chrome. Specifically, 
when i start my session the webcam turns on for an instant and then shuts down. 
When i try to start the video stream again the webcam flickers on and off a 
couple of times and then i get a message from webex: "We cannot display your 
video. Make sure your camera is shared in your browser and is not used in other 
applications, and then try again.". I have allowed Chrome to use my webcam of 
course and no other application is using it.

I have done everything mentioned here 
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq13.html#webcam. I can test that my webcam is 
indeed working with ffplay and by using a random online test 
(https://www.iobit.com/en/webcam-test.php) using Chrome. I can record my 
webcam's stream with ffmpeg. I have added the device path of my webcam 
(/dev/video0) to /etc/chromium/unveil.main and 
/etc/chromium/unveil.utility_video. I'm using OpenBSD-amd64 6.8 release.

Is this a known problem or can i do something more to overcome it?

Thank you in advance
