  1. investigating Nov 08, 2021, 09:06 PM UTC

    We have identified an issue where the video from Android 12 devices appears as scrambled lines instead of a clear picture. Audio is not impacted and comes through normally. Android 12 users are able to fix this with these steps: 1) Go to chrome://flags 2) under "Search Flags", enter "hardware" 3) Disable the "WebRTC Hardware Video Encoding" Setting 4) Check back in and restart the call.

  2. monitoring Nov 29, 2021, 08:22 PM UTC

    Google Chrome has confirmed the fix for this issue will be deployed with Version 98. In the meantime, the workaround will still be needed: Android 12 users are able to fix this with these steps: 1) Go to chrome://flags 2) under "Search Flags", enter "hardware" 3) Disable the "WebRTC Hardware Video Encoding" Setting 4) Check back in and restart the call.
