[Bug 1466015] [NEW] WebRTC audio/video does not work

 

Public bug reported:

This is probably not the right component for the bug, but I hope
somebody who has a bigger picture of how the whole thing works will add
the other affected components as well (oxide? or maybe it's a problem
with chromium itself).

WebRTC audio/video currently does not work. This can be tested by
loading websites such as meet.jit.si which offer a WebRTC compliant
videocalling service.

Currently it seems microphone/camera are not detected at all (permission
issue maybe?)

There is a report that the same happens using Firefox Hello using a more
convoluted setup (Firefox running on XMir, there's a fresh post about it
on Ubuntu-Phone mailing list, but the ML web archive doesn't show the
post yet, so I can't link it here, sorry)

This is the log from webbrowser-app when visiting meet.jit.si :
