I found my phone's camera together with DroidCam[0] to be good enough for my conferencing needs.

Only thing I find annoying about Droidcam is that I end up having to reinstall the audio and video drivers on Linux every week or so, either due to updates, restarts, or PulseAudio breaking.


In case it's the official Linux client that's giving you headaches, you could also have a look here: https://github.com/Kyuunex/better_droidcam_linux_client/blob...

Just use `adb`, `ffmpeg` and the `v4l2loopback` kernel module.
