Codycam does not recognize Bison camera on lenovo

There is a small camera on lenovo G50-70…Bison…When I open codycam, itsays no webcam detected

Is this Bison Camera not a webcam?

It’s probably that like other devices it requires a specific driver.

There is no functional UVC driver yet, so UVC webcams (nearly all USB webcams, internal or external, in the past 15 years) don’t work.

This is not a USB webcam…it is a built - in camera on the screen of laptop

It will almost certainly be using a USB connection internally. USB, Thunderbolt, PS2, Serial etc can all be used for internal connections too.

This is a ~2 year old Lenovo Yoga - the camera, fingerprint sensor and Bluetooth adapter are all connected over USB and explicitly exposed as such by Windows

The touchscreen, trackpad are I2C and the keyboard is PS2.

So, this means nobody on Haiku can use google meet or such things for video conferencing?

During Covid lockdown, these video conferencing apps like meet, duo had saved us a lot of hassle

OK then, I will wait for the UVC driver…surprised that this is a low priority task…

I don’t think any browser on Haiku supports taking camera or microphone inputs yet either.

You can use IP cam as webcam. There’s a version of Otter that can (on LOTE repo) and I think that gnome web too. All that thanks to @3dEyes.
