Camera Does not work in google meet except on first load.

I've been having a similar issue where I have to reopen the vcam app and "configure" the camera reload and background loading in every time I stop and start the camera. I open the app and get it working for one meeting, then transfer immediately to another meeting in the same app and have to go back to the vcam app to re-initialize the camera. Otherwise the light doesn't even turn on to indicate that my auxiliary camera is on and sending inputs to vcam. Almost as if the momentary lack of input to vcam doesn't then trigger vcam to start up the camera and I have to do it manually every time. This didn't happen with earlier versions of vcam (I have been a ~daily user for 3-4 years)

Hi Eric, this isn't something we have come across during development. I'll run this by the team and follow up once we have a more concrete idea as to what might be happening here.

Jon Young yeah I am tempted to try it in different browser... such as chrome directly instead of brave... but its sort of a strange problem. The vcam app reports that there is an active client but google meet says camera initializing for a bit and then says the camera is off... but the app still says there is an active client.
Killing the whole browser usually fixes it like I said.

Eric Nichols: Thanks Eric! We'll see if we can repeat the issue internally and follow up with you if we need more information. 🙏
