That's what I thought, too, so I compiled from source and loaded the module. Unfortunately this still only makes the camera work in Firefox, but not in Zoom and Slack where I actually need it. I stopped digging into it more and simply use a USB webcam for now until the driver for my sensor is fully upstreamed.

One thing I didn't see mentioned yet that's in favor of AMD: Intel and its stupid, stupid IPU6 system. I've got a new work laptop now with an Intel Meteor Lake chip and the webcam is hooked up via IPU6. This means that I can't use the built-in webcam until upstream support for the specific sensor arrives in the kernel.

Some sensors are already supported but it shouldn't be this hard to make the internal webcam of your laptop work. I thought these issues were a thing of the past.

I have no idea how Puppeteer handles this but Playwright has a little section on Chrome within Docker: https://playwright.dev/docs/docker#run-the-image

Basically, the Chrome sandbox needs a non-root user as well as a different seccomp profile configuration. No idea if this helps or if you already tried this but it's worth giving it a shot.

Which I just now (after posting) noticed was already mentioned in a different comment. Sorry!
