Microphone/Camera Not Found

[AlwaysBeCalm]

Hi
I'm Using Ubuntu 20.04 and I'm having a problem with the snap version, when I want to capture a photo or a video or record a voice message it says:
Camera Not Found
Microphone Not Found

It didn't show to me the allow message, but when I went to the web version or the appimage it worked.
Can it be solved

Thanks 🌹 👌

You need to give WALC permissions from Ubuntu App Store / Snap Store.

Thanks for replying 🌹 🌹
the recording works fine now.

Although I gave it all the premissions

but it still show me that the camera is not found, even after restarting the app many times. 😓

You need to give WALC permissions from Ubuntu App Store / Snap Store.

You can also do this on the terminal:

sudo snap connect walc:pulseaudio :pulseaudio

but it still show me that the camera is not found, even after restarting the app many times. 😓

WALC doesn't implement the camera interface yet. If it would, we could just enable it by

sudo snap connect walc:camera :camera

This has been fixed in the master branch. It will be released in next version. If you want to download now you can shift to Channel edge using sudo snap refresh walc --channel=edge

Note: Channel edge may contain abrupt changes and may break WALC for you. Although Camera interface is automatically enabled according to this post on SnapCraft but if you still face issue with camera use the command specified in @salim-b ccmment

The following solution works for me:

sudo snap connect walc:pulseaudio :pulseaudio
sudo snap connect walc:camera :camera
