Camera and mic permission granted, but access still not allowed as they arent detected
-
I'm having a similar problem. I'm working on a laptop (Win 11), so the camera and microphone are integrated. In Website Permissions the site is listed with the camera and microphone allowed, but nonetheless they aren't detected. They work properly in Firefox.

@Kerampf I have no idea why it is not detected.
Do you see any icon at right of address field on blocked content (a forbidden sign)?
In Windows 11 in privacy settings apps are allowed to use cam and mic? -
@DoctorG Vivaldi's address bar isn't indicating content is being blocked. With the current Win 11 privacy settings, Firefox is able to detect and use the camera and mic, and also I've been on many Zoom and similar calls. So the problem doesn't seem to be there. I've also found that the problem is occurring with another website (I'm comparing a couple services).

Hi, please check this with other Chromium browsers, Firefox is completely different. -

You compare apples to bananas. Both are different fruits.
And Mozilla core is not Chromium core. -
@DoctorG @mib2berlin Right, I didn't think about that. The camera and mic aren't detected in Chrome, Opera, or Edge either.

Then it is something with Windows permissions for these devices or broken cam and mic drivers.
I have no idea as i do not use a laptop.

@DoctorG I don't know beans about what goes on under the hood of things, but if the problem is at the Windows level, wouldn't it affect all apps using the camera and mic, instead of just the Chromium-based browsers?
I've tested turning off extensions, turning off the VPN, and incognito mode. I've checked every privacy/security control I can find. In a web search, some people have mentioned interference from something called Microsoft Media Foundation (or mediafoundation), used for video capture, but I don't find anything like that as an app, extension, or background process.
Incidentally, I haven't installed the 24H2 "upgrade" wreck, so it's not that either.

Hi, do you have a Windows version N or KN?
Then you need the Media Feature Pack, is this maybe meant?
