        I have installed the messengers Signal and elements on waydroid. But on both messenger the video won't transfer. However, the video can be received. What am I doing wrong - sorry?

        Thanks

          @Dieter42 does the camera work in general in waydroid, if you use the camera app?
          Maybe the apps do not have the permission to access the camera.

            @Luksus camera apps are working, Signal and element have all permissions in waydroid

              I think I've experienced something similar when I last tried, so not sure if it is still the case. But whenever any Android app (e.g. banking app) tried to use video recording it failed, while taking pictures was always fine.

                Recording with camera apps working. The transfer from the video during the videocall doesn't work. Have Ubuntu Touch a special firewall-config for Waydroid ?

                  I don't think so. It should have pretty much a full access to hardware (or rather the Android firmware which UT is also using) with the exception of some things like networking as it doesn't have access to the telephony stack for instance. However I know little about this 😞
