@sorenfeodor Did not work as Chrome os flex is not a fully Linux distro where snap is installed. The linux runs on a separate container like a virtual machine.

@ejcv I just gave up on opera, I don't know why the developers didn't fix this issue without users having to tweak codecs and all to get live videos working, I am new to linux and have no knowledge about coding and terminal works. I wish it worked out of the box.

@anindyasundarbhar First, Opera doesn't support ChromeOS. There is a version for Chromebooks based on Opera for Android.

Second, as said it's a legal issue so Opera can't do much about it. Windows and MacOS usually don't have problems but Linux seems to be a very complicated system.

@leocg The Linux on chrome os runs on a separate virtual container and it is based on Debian 11 bullseye, everything seems to be working fine for opera except live videos, why is that?

@vbnvbn Nope. It seems the opera browser is not fully supported by Debian 11 on Chrome OS/Flex
