When I use Firefox I get a Browser warning, but the camera works - but Meet in general is extremely laggy.

When I use Chromium it can't find my camera. See attached screenshots. It recognizes the camera but I can't switch to it. It defaults to the Hauppauge TV card that is installed.

I would really like to get away from using proprietary Zoom, but right now, even though this looks promising, it is not good enough for me to recommend.
