Description of the issue:
Microphone and camera access for a Google Meet session with Brave is not working. The only way to joint the session is without microphone and camera. The issue is limited to Brave functioning on Google Meet.
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Join a Google Meet with Brave Browser (with or without Shields activated)
- Attempt to allow camera and microphone access
- Access will fail and the only way to get into the meeting is to click “Continue without microphone and camera”
- See “Additional Information” section for specific issue and troubleshooting information
Expected result:
Capability to join a Google Meet session with camera and microphone access.
Brave Version( check About Brave):
Brave 1.79.119 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Chromium: 137.0.7151.68
Additional Information:
When joining a Google Meet session, I can click on the “Use Microphone and Camera” prompt. Then I get the “meet.google.com is asking you to Use your microphones, Use your cameras prompt”. Clicking on either “Allow while visiting site” or “Allow this time” fails as that prompt just ‘blinks’ and refreshes.
Clicking either option again results in the same ‘prompt refresh’ regardless of how many times you click it. Disabling Brave shields, restarting the browser and computer also does not help. Therefore no access to the camera and the microphone is available through Brave.
Clicking “Continue without microphone and camera” allows the user into the meeting but, again, the use can not use their camera or talk through the microphone.
Clicking the same Google meet link on other browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) works - camera and microphone are allowed/accessible. This appears to be limited to Brave.
Additionally, the camera and microphone can be accessed by other meeting platforms (MS Teams, Brave Talk) so this is an issue with Brave and Google Meet.
Addendum: Sharing my screen will still work. This issue is also not OS specific (occurs on both Windows 11 and Linux OS).
