Cisco Webex Desk Camera not working (works with other browser)
Hello,
I have a new Cisco Webex Desk Camera that it's not working with Firefox (Flatpak on Fedora Silverblue 35).
lsusb: Bus 006 Device 004: ID 05a6:0023 Cisco Systems, Inc. Cisco Webex Desk Camera
https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html shows two cameras "Video Capture 4" and "Video Capture 5", none of them work, the page shows an error message: "AbortError: Starting videoinput failed".
The same website works in Chromium (also a Flatpak), which only sees "Video Capture 4 (05a6:0023)". "OBS Studio" is also able to use the camera. "Video Capture 5" is not available in Chromium and freezes the image in OBS Studio. I believe Video Capture 5 is the IR camera that is used in Windows Hello.
Would you be able to help me to get this camera supported, please?

Can you erase the loooooonnnnnnggggg output? It's not needed. Also, try another version of Firefox from the below link. Don't use your Firefox account and see what happens. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
Can you show us what you get with your current browser? What Desktop? Are you in X11 or Wayland?
Thanks for your help.
I have edited the question as requested (sorry!).
So far I have tried:
- Firefox (Fedora RPM) -> doesn't work.
- Firefox (Flathub) -> doesn't work
- Firefox (Flathub -- new profile) -> doesn't work.
- Chromium (Flathub) -> works
- OBS Studio (Flathub) -> works
I'll see later this weekend if I can install Firefox on a Toolbx container.
Just ran Nightly in a toolbx container using a fresh profile, I get the same results.

I'm having some issues uploading screenshots.
Clicking on the camera button in the WebRTC test page causes the error "AbortError: Starting videoinput failed" to display in red.

You ran Nightly in a toolbox container... Why not just download to a folder, run it, and see if it can access the camera?
Fair enough... just did it, same result.
@jonzn4SUSE the camera is still not working and I was wondering if you could help me triaging this further.
Thanks in advance!
I did some additional troubleshooting with v4l:

Firefox still not working though.
Not sure, but I'll bring home a Logitech from work tomorrow and test it. Why not open a bug and get Dev help.

For the sake of completeness here are the other 2 video devices related the camera. The Firefox selection dialog only offers two (with the same name):
