   Hi Ricardo,

   Thanks for taking a look. :)

   Ah, the days of my work-around are counted then -- good to know.

   Yes, I mean the Zoom app (specifically, the flatpak version:   
   https://flathub.org/en/apps/us.zoom.Zoom). I have no idea how the protocol   
   stack   
   works here (how frames go from the camera to zoom and which layer is   
   responsible   
   to do what along the way); while I am a developer, I am entirely a user when it   
   comes to webcam things. :D   
      
   I have not seen the error occur in Firefox -- but I am also not sure if Firefox   
   ever puts the camera into the other "mode" the way Zoom does (when someone   
   joins   
   the call, the field of view of the camera slightly increases, so there are now   
   things visible on the side of the frame that were previously cut off -- and   
   then   
   a few seconds later, the artifacts start to appear).   
      
   I will try the tracing flags you mention later when I have access to the camera   
   again.   
      
   Kind regards,   
   Ralf
