This appears to be a Viber problem itself. Deb version is affected also.
Hello, Have similar problem on Linux Mint 19.3 and com.viber.Viber 21.8.0.11.

Camera is also not shown.
I had the same problem with deb version on Debian. Viber 21.8.0.11 depends on libavfromat58, libswscale5 and other libraries that are dependencies of those 2, which are not explicitly stated as dependencies. They are not available in latest stable Debian 12, but Debian 11 (oldstable), so I installed them with all dependent libraries from Debian 11. On Ubuntu they are available in 22.04, so for newer Ubuntu versions you have to pull those libraries from 22.04 repos. Flatpak on the other hand should try to include those libraries in the package, because that is the point of it. Problem is that Viber had always had those dependencies that are not explicitly defined.
Thanks for the tip about the libraries. I looked around in the flathub repos and found this issue: https://github.com/flathub/com.parsecgaming.parsec/issues/23 I tested and downgrading the runtime for Viber to 21.08 indeed fixed the issue for me. I don't know if it's a good idea having separate versions for base (Electron) and runtime, hence I downgraded both in my PR.
Thank you. Thank you. I can confirm that your PR does get my camera working again. I'm on Mint (based on 22.04)
Can't load uri https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/90175/com.viber.Viber.flatpakref: Server returned status 404
Was it just temporary link?
Yes, AFAIK stuff in the test repo where flathubbot deploys are quite short lived. I don't know the exact retention policy.

Hi everyone,
I an experiencing the same issue, and my research on the internet led me here to this topic, but the solution quoted above that you mentionned infortunately didn´t work for me.
Here is the ouput from CLI :
gogi@fedora:~$ flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.viber.Viber
Remote ‘flathub’ found in multiple installations:
1) system
2) user
Which do you want to use (0 to abort)? [0-2]: 1

Obviously runtime and SDK are already in version 23.08, but the flatpak app still doesn´t find any video hardware. Anybody has an idea?
Thanks.

Same problem
Actually, current appimage v23.0.2.3 from the Viber official website doesn't have any issues. At least under ubuntu 24.04.
I am using sudo wget http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/viber.deb Same result with deb v23.0.2.3 . I am using Debian 12.
is there any progress on this?

Not for me, still stuck without video function here...
Still not working.
Hi. I'm using ubuntu 23.10 and com.viber.Viber 21.8.0.11. Other apps (including flatpak ones) are able to see my laptop's integrated camera.
