Camera is stuck in “starting mode” and no audio is picked up by the speaker How can this issue be reproduced?
Upgrade a Mac from Catalina to Big Sur
Try joining a Meet call
Expected result:
On the start screen, you should see “camera is starting”, when you join the call, you should not get any audio.
Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.25.72 Chromium: 91.0.4472.101 (Official Build) (x86_64)
Additional Information:
I just upgraded to BigSur over the weekend and joining my when first Meet call with it this morning on Brave I was unable to use my camera nor get audio; other participants could hear me though.
I have gone through all the normal checklist to ensure it’s a Brave issue, from trying other browsers to ensuring that the Hangout extension is on, and that Brave has permissions to both the camera and microphone.
I also went ahead to install Brave-beta and everything works well on the beta browser too…just my main Brave browser. I don’t plan on using the beta browser, so it’ll be nice to have this fixed.
@Rethanis So I followed the steps in the shared post and everything works. Does this mean I have to delete my current profile? How does this affect information linked with my current profile? Is there anyway to “refresh” the profile or get it to work without using a new profile?
You could try clearing all browsing data of your current user profile.
brave://settings/clearBrowserData => Advanced => Time range: All time => Check all options => Clear data
Note 1: This will log you out of all websites, make sure you know your logging credentials for websites you log into!
Note 2: Clearing the browsing data for “Site and Shields Settings” resets global Shields settings. If you are not using the default global Shields settings, you’ll have to re-adjust the settings at brave://settings/shields after you clear the browsing data.
