Google chat video - Fedora / Google Chrome

Question

The webcam is working, because I can see me with the "Cheese" app.

I installed: google-talkplugin_current_i386.rpm.

Then I opened Chrome, and this is what I see:

The webcam part is black.

What can I do, so that "google chat" will recognize my webcam?

I've been on this for hours and I'm tired now. Can someone help?

The only problem is the video part. Why can't I see the webcams picutre?

In firefox, can you post the details of Flash from the page about:plugins Be sure to expand the details tab on the upper right. — penguin359, Apr 6, 2011 at 5:14
Actually, my last comment applies to Chrome, but Firefox also has an about:plugins page. — penguin359, Apr 6, 2011 at 5:30

Try with this. It works for me with Fedora fc14.

Do you have the latest flash plugin?

Also, you can give Gnash a try, see what happens :)
