Found it!

Fair point

Good point

Random totally related story - The last place I lived at most people didn’t want any more housing whatsoever (affordable or otherwise). It was a major issue for town elections. Those same people were also complaining that the town wasn’t growing 🙄

Very exclusive. Invite only. It’s a perk - you might say a “plus” - of Google!

Wait a second…

My favorite part

(I also have an email)

(Do you have an email?)

True, but it is still gross to me

Lmao!!! Brilliant. Thank you haha

That is exactly what stranger #1 said lol

Hi, thank you for spending so much time on this. I feel foolish because I just had to disable chameleon. But I really appreciate it as I am still learning Linux and I think it makes me forget the simple stuff.

Thanks, I’ll look at it. for now disabling chameleon worked

Thanks, turns out I still had chameleon enabled (as chrome, ironically) and it didn’t like that.

Thanks. I just realized I did not try a different browser…mainly because I don’t have a different browser haha. When I get back home I will download one and (hopefully) report back.

Mostly correct - the website that doesn’t work is Google Meet.

So for clarity, I edited your comment:

So, basically, using a different website, same browser, you get a popup window from Firefox reading "Allow <site> to use your microphone and camera?" and it lists your camera and microphone, but when you do the same on **Google Meet**, you also get the popup, just without any microphone and camera in the menu?

As far as I can tell it does. I looked in Firefox settings. Is there anywhere else I should look?

Not during the meeting, no

Well, it seems to be a technology fail week.

I emailed a software developer to tell them about a pretty significant bug. After some back and forth they decided it is my computer (it isn’t) and told me to “go to Geek Squad.” Does Geek Squad even exist anymore?

And now, I just called “tech support” because I couldn’t get a (different and unrelated) video conferencing software to work. They had never heard of Linux, didn’t know what a log is, didn’t know what the cloud is, didn’t know what a URL is…🤨

I’m not sure if I am on candid camera or in a parllel universe but it’s quite frustrating and I still can’t use either one.

Exactly

I assumed this was someone being funny at first but since I have learned they are serious…well it’s still funny

(edit to select the language)

Thanks! Count on me to complete my projects in quadruple the time!

Yes. You see, he’s going to have them stop testing for it. Everyone knows if you stop testing for it then it no longer exists.

My condolences
