Hey Florian! No I did not solve it yet… I also did not check if it does not work with other apps like zoom or so. Will do that soon. edit: It does work with zoom though. ---

@Christian_Grothe while the camera is working with Zoom does it show up using the `lsusb` command as: ```auto Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Laptop Camera ``` ---

This does appear to be something to do with Cheese as I find that the version available in the Fedora Flatpak repository doesn’t seem to work. The version available from Flathub seems to work but I believe it is an older version. There might be clues in [Apps/Cheese/FAQ - GNOME Wiki!](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Cheese/FAQ#Webcam_does_not_work) but I’ve not tried to understand any of that yet.
