Chrome 127 Should Provide PipeWire Camera Capture Support


The Google Chrome/Chromium 127 web browser release should finally provide support for PipeWire camera capturing support!

The Chromium integration adds back-end support for PipeWire cameras and allows for it to work within sandboxed environments. The PipeWire support has been a feature request going back to 2021 on the basis that using PipeWire allows for multiple applications to use the camera simultaneously, support for sandboxed environments like Flatpak via Portals, and sharing a lot of code with the desktop capture mode. More details on this PipeWire camera support heading to Google's web browser via this Chromium ticket.
