Hi Bill, |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I have been using MS Teams on Linux for over a couple of months now and the |
| 16 |
camera does work for me. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The settings I have are: |
| 19 |
- User added to the groups "audio", "video" and "usb" |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
In Teams, I did have to configure the devices, the settings can be found by |
| 22 |
clicking on your "avatar", top-right of the window with your initials. (Mine |
| 23 |
says JR) |
| 24 |
Then select "Settings" and go to "Devices" |
| 25 |
I seem to remember it didn't auto-select my camera, but the preview should, |
| 26 |
when selected, actually work. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Here you can also select a headset as audio-device. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Also, make sure there is nothing else using the camera at the same time. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Do take note, the Linux version is lacking several features that the other |
| 33 |
"native" clients have. Notably: |
| 34 |
- Only 4 camera-views at the same time (instead of 9, I believe) |
| 35 |
- No background-blur or image |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
This means, you only get to show your real background or leave the camera off/ |
| 38 |
covered. |
