Unfortunately, this rework of the camera drivers comes with some changes to the media graph that mean that Megapixels needs adapting, which has not happened yet, so distros are likely to withhold the 6.2 upgrade until this is addressed. But it will land eventually.) That should make more applications work with the camera.
Even if the video "chokes" at times, it should not crash the whole videocall.
I really would love it .
Those pessimistic (or realistic, I don't know?) words are not really my own - I asked about this from Martijn Braam and he told me that it will "never work" (or maybe it will work at proof of concept level)
