This means that I can’t use the built-in webcam until upstream support for the specific sensor arrives in the kernel.
wouldn’t it suffice to build it from source into a kernel module that you can load? that way you wouldn’t even need to build the kernel. DKMS would help to automate this for kernel updates
you may try it if you could use OBS to capture the webcam, and “relay” it with its virtual camera feature.
did you try running zoom and slack in firefox? Personally, I would never run them without the browser’s isolation
