(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... -Jason
