Yes
System Info
Void 6.1.14_1 x86_64-musl GenuineIntel uptodate rF
Package(s) Affected
chromium
Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
Works.
Actual behaviour
When a call is started, the page becomes unresponsive. Probably at the point where the webapp tries to open the media stream.
I tried multiple call apps.
- Element Call (call.element.io)
- Google Meet
- Microsoft Teams
Steps to reproduce
Use these apps from Chromium on a musl system.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the hang with the chromium package on Void 6.1.14_1 x86_64-musl, using Element Call, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. Check whether the failure occurs when a web app opens a media stream, and determine the package-level cause. Done means the unresponsiveness is explained and a verified resolution is identified.
