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

just cheap ebay usb cams
usb
qemu kvm

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.
