Who needs to give their browser access to their camera?

May be bad phrasing, but Firefox doesn’t support h.265 so there’s limitations with streaming video on some camera platforms and other sites.

TIL Firefox doesn’t support HEVC. Hadn’t really noticed that before, I guess it’s why some Jellyfin streams started transcoding for me.

It is supported in the nightly build and full support is in the works currently.

You’re better off using the Jellyfin Media Player standalone application anyway.

People who have to use their browser for telehealth and virtual teller banking access.

Sadly these are also things that require better security.

Yup. Firefox doesn’t work for me unfortunately, so I have to maintain Chrome on at least one device for these things

Hey, member when you always had to have IE for one of “those” sites and it was basically just an awful browser everyone was forced to have like as a legal requirement or something?

Heh. IE. Then when you’d use it to download firefox it’d say “Nooooo! Wait! I’m teh Best Browser!!” Hahahahah

IE. Ded.

Does it have to be Chrome, or just e.g. Chromium is fine?

People who use Webex, zoom, etc for one use in try browser and don’t normally use those links. Happens at work when an outside vendor doesn’t use what we do.

I use MS teams for meetings every day at work, in Firefox, in Linux. It’s nice that even the camera works when I need it to.

I do this with Discord and Zoom as an alternative to installing their actual apps. 99% of the functionality is there anyway, and the 1% is stuff I don’t want anyway

It’s so frustratingly annoying. I primarily use Firefox, but switch to Chrome for specific Google services on my mobile. Once in a while, the search suggests I take a photo? Why?
