Google Meet is not transmitting video or screen sharing in FF 122

I've looked for solutions, some had weird MTU settings, some needed to enable hardware acceleration in Chrome, but haven't found a solution that works. Created a new profile to try that out, but still no dice.

I can do a test recording in Google Meet, which displays my video just fine, but when playing back, it's just a black screen, and that is also what happens if I share my screen. Participants get a lot of black.

I've been using Firefox with Google meet for many years, and never had this problem before. I did report the issue in Meet, but it's not likely to attract much attention from Google.

Suggestions much appreciated.

What OS? What Desktop? X11 or Wayland? What version of ffmpegs are installed?

I just did a test from my computer to my phone and all went well, both screens were visible.

I'm on Gentoo Linux, X11, i3, ffmpeg is 6.1.1 But I was with FF 121.1 too. It stopped working with FF 122.

[edit] Just tried downgrading to 121.0.1, and Google Meet works again, so definitely something with 122. /edit

Glad that it works for you, but ...

You're running the your distro version?

Did you try Firefox in Safe Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#search104

Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
