    I have to accept access to camera AND remember this to make this work. "Only this time does not work"

    Is it normal that it doesnt detect my mouth when i speak ? the sound of my voice creates random patterns. it works well for other sounds tho

    It doesnt seem to work properly on the webcam, and theres some lag

    Just tried it. Created almost totally random patterns on the screen in a silent room.

      Many webcam mics have auto-gain enabled, so having it on in a silent room will cause it to crank the gain to the point that the noise floor becomes audible (or in this case, visible). You might want to try recording a sound clip to see if the same effect occurs (i.e. you can hear the static fade out when louder sounds like speech hit the sensor after a period of auto-compensated silence)

    It’s either not working or the work flow is confusing and I messed something up, at least write some context to understand what is it and how to connect both. Also, it does max the cpu just opening that link.

    Am I the only one out here who doesn't have a webcam or a microphone connected to their daily driver pc?
