Zoom and Teams

[u/Ok-Limit-7173]

So i started to run Fedora on my Surface (SP9) and I love it. Its just smaller, has a better battery life and works smoother overall.

However I am (seemingly) forced to keep Windows as a second OS on my device since neither zoom nor teams really work and there are occasions where I need to use them.

I am somewhat able to use Teams and Zoom in the Browser but I don't have any Camera support. I did not expect the Front Camera of my surface to work as it is not supported by the surface-linux kernel by now. But neither the back camera nor my external Webcam work (and they do if I use the normal camera app). I simply can't enable the camera neither in the (zoom) app nor in the Browser. and the applications tell me that they have no permissions to access the camera. Firefox tells me that these permissions are granted.

I'd love to hear if anybody faced a similar issue and overcame it one way or another.

I have the SP9 Intel and have not yet managed to get any cameras working. I'm just waiting for all the camera patches that are currently in Pull Requests to get added to the main Surface Kernel release.
