@markobu Try adding Google Meet to the whitelist (exceptions) of the Opera ad blocker.

@ketokelo , didn't work. Same problem here. I put in whitelist in trackers and ads.

@arturdpo Maybe you need to also do this: https://forums.opera.com/topic/34659/opera-linux-browser-h-264-support-through-x264-open-source-codec?_=1614200894401

First you need to download the file from here: https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases

Hope this works!

Because if you have the same issue in Chrome maybe that could be a reason. Also try the camera if you are not in a meeting and look for the camera settings in your computer. Maybe there is something blocked for certain browsers.

Hope you got your answer.
Thanx

Hi @sophiagracia,

It works in Firefox and Chrome. I don't know what happened in Opera.

@arturdpo Maybe you have to do what I posted above. It could be some codec issue. If you have any autoplay stopper, you should add Google Meet (or whatever site you are using) to the whitelist, not only to the Opera's whitelist.

@ketokelo ,

I am trying to do that. I've used snap to install Opera.

The path is different.
/snap/opera/current/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
Am I right?

I am getting readonly message to this path.

@arturdpo I think Snap's version has some issues. Try installing Opera from the official repository.
