Hello Fellas,
Brave really have my heart last 3 years, but since six months ago, my webcam doesnt work.
Do you can help me?
I can use normally in Chrome or Edge.
Version is 1.73.104.
Notebook: Samsung Ultra 3
I try the beta version and nothing.
Maybe hardware / graphics acceleration issue. Two locations where you may throw a switch, experiment:
brave://settings/system
and
brave://flags/ - there, search for “accele” and:
Two switches that might apply:
- Accelerated 2D canvas
- Hardware-accelerated video encode
Extensions testing
- Disable extensions; then test for issue
- Enable extensions, one at a time, in order to individually test for issue
- Enable combinations of extensions, in order to see which combinations of extensions will work without encountering the issue
May interest:
brave://flags
Some Brave Browser users search there, for:
- ANGLE
- D3D11
- Metal
- NVIDIA
- OpenGL
- WebGL
and Disable or Enable as they see fit.
A general discussion, including a tip re Brave Shields:

Scrolling down to one of the comments, the following (by “Iron Heart” Feb. 1, 2022):
“Brave randomizes WebGL when set to ‘Standard’ and turns it off entirely when set to ‘Aggressive’”
There is a somewhat related piece of info at that link, regarding ANGLE GRAPHICS:
Last resort: Reset these:
- brave:// flags
- Brave Browser Settings
