Webcam feed breaking with backgrounds

neontechtra commented 1 month ago

Describe the bug When using the webcam with a background (such as blur, "in the zone 1", or "in the zone 2") the camera will zoom in, stretch (causing a lot pixelation), which then causes blurring all of the camera space. Making the camera unusable for meetings.

You can temporarily resolve it by removing the background, but then reapplying it will cause the issue to comeback.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Start meeting
Turn on webcam with blur/background
Wait

Expected behavior A nice crisp webcam focused on me - with a blurry background

Additional Info Testing browsers to see how they function:

Chromium;

Camera exhibits the same behavior as the T4L App.

Firefox:

Camera works but screensharing seems broken (Could be a local problem && unrelated anyway)

scottmckendry commented 1 month ago

Having same issue on bleeding edge NixOS - both in chromium and in T4L. Was working fine a day or two ago.

just as a workaround I was able to use OBS, virtual camera and "obs-backgroundremoval" until it gets resolved.

Hi @scottmckendry and @neontechtra, If this is happening in the browser, is probably an issue with Microsoft themselves.

Maybe try version 1.11.0 (pre-release) and/or passing the --disableGpu option. Sometimes this can be related to the hardware acceleration.

neontechtra commented 1 month ago

Makes sense, appreciate it!

xdinterface commented 2 weeks ago

Same issue here. Teams in the browser works fine but it seems as the app is lowering camera quality after a few seconds. The pwa and t4l are probably having trouble adjusting the camera correctly when the quality is lowered.

I will try and see if obs is an option for me.
