* Install /usr/ports/net-im/jitsi. (Comment out the BROKEN line from the
Makefile and "make install" should work as usual; the source can actually
be fetched just fine...)
* kldload cuse
* Run firefox and surf to that URL.
After doing this, I surfed to that URL and was connected, with the video
from my webcam displaying in the browser.
hashbrown/home/jason-124575: uname -a
FreeBSD hashbrown 12.1-STABLE FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE r357056 JKERN12 amd64
For what it's worth, the webcam identifies itself as vendor:product
0x046d:0x0825, which, according to https://wiki.freebsd.org/WebcamCompat
is a Logitech C270 HD. I think I paid about $20 USD for it, five or so
years ago. The quality is quite sufficient for video conferencing, and it
works with webcamd, vlc, and all the other software that I typically run
on my FreeBSD desktop. As always, YMMV...
