new zm vm

Post by luxnoob »

i put zm in a virtual machine with Antix.
the webcams dont show.
webcams work fine with xawtv etc.
why is zm not seeing the /dev/video0 etc?

Let's start with a little more information. You post is very limited in details.
  • What's the hypervisor your using to host the VM?
  • What webcams are you using?
  • How do you connect them?
This should help get the conversation going

See if this works:

verify it works in browser, then in ZM:

make source type remote, protocol http, method simple, hostname (camip), port what you put in your config. Works for me.
