Bug description

When I join VC, the app seems to not receive any audio from my webcam mic, and cannot stream video from my webcam. When I click to stream from my camera, after a while of the loading animation in the stream preview, it shows error 2014. In voice settings, I see the name of my webcam in the list of audio input devices. When I test the mic input, I hear nothing. When I go to video settings I also see the webcam in the list of video devices. When I click the button to test the video, it shows a blank gray (color of the settings menu) rectangle.

This webcam does work in the web version on Firefox.

I am running WebCord on a Raspberry Pi 5 keyboard computer.

Check if it works in Chromium / Chrome. Telling it works in Firefox tells me nothing, it might be bug with Chromium (plus I think Chromium have tendency to filter virtual streams, that was the case for mic / audio input in the past, could be your reason why – at least Chromium + OBS webcam doesn't work for me).

Also please update to 4.11.1 or even try 4.11.0 and respond with how it works for you.

As of the mic inputs, it still works for me, no problem.

Also please update to 4.11.1 or even try 4.11.0 and respond with how it works for you.

I have installed WebCord via Pi-Apps on my Raspberry Pi just the other day. I don't know if you control that distribution. Are there instructions I can follow to update?

As for Chromium, I will try that later and report what I find.
