I have a HP dv7t-6c00 running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit. The webcam works when I try it from cheese, but when I try it from Chrome at webcamtoy.com all I get is a black picture.
In chrome I select "Use my camera" and click on "Allow". A white light comes on from my webcam. When I click the button to take the picture all I get is black. The light stays on constantly and doesn't flash.
The webcam worked fine from Chrome when I had Win7 installed as a native OS, so I know the hardware is OK. What do I have to do to get the webcam to work from chrome in Ubuntu?
This must be a problem with the webcamtoy.net website. My webcam worked at www.testwebcam.com and snapshot.htmlchat.net, but not at webcamtoy.com.
