Re: Not able to launch webcam; no video

Hi,

You mention two problems.

One is you do not see your camera, cf. your log:
2016/02/29 22:44:47.421	  0:16.221	GMVideoOut...ager:13672	DirectX	no 
Overlay Capabilities
The only advice I have is to look at 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626515#c44 (comment 44) to 
see if it helps.

The other is you have a greyed menu.  This is normal, since no one is 
calling you (Pick up), and you are not in communication phase (Hangup, 
Hold Call etc.)

Sorry for being in late,
Eugen
