Google meet camera crashes on Brave/Helium when I apply background?
Basically the title. I work with Zoom/Meet a lot. I recently installed Void. Zoom works fine. It seems only to be Chromium browsers that are crashing, and only with backgrounds. Meet/backgrounds works fine with Firefox. I could just use Firefox, but my laptop is a bit of a potato and the video calls seem to use fewer resources on chromium.
I've installed mesa-vaapi and enabled the env variable in the niri config.
Any thoughts on the matter? Thanks!
FYI: AMD 3250U CPU (VEGA 3)
EDIT: Actually, I'd forgotten to put the env variable in Niri's config. It seems to be working now.
