Description

Hi dear.
1st of all, I would like to say thank you for offering this great program as flatpak on FlatHub.

Dear, I was on RPMFusion repository package since years without problem. Today, I remove .rpm package from my system (Fedora 30 X64 bit Cinnamon edition) & shifted to this flatpak package. I perform this because I checked RPMFusion repository & saw that they are still not shipping latest stable version of qTox, so I installed flatpak to gain the latest stable version & features of qTox ..... I'm now on version 1.17.2

The problem with this flatpak package is that it does not recognize my laptop camera !

Kindly, to fix this problem as quick as possible. I need qTox with camera almost every day ......

Best.

Research direction

Reproduce the camera-detection failure with qTox 1.17.2 installed as the Flatpak on Fedora 30 Cinnamon, comparing it with the previously working RPMFusion package. Trace the Flatpak integration and camera detection path; done means the laptop camera is recognized and usable in qTox.
