Hi All,

I found a useful link to enable webcam in laptop if you are using
FreeBSD. Please refer the following link
[https://www.davidschlachter.com/misc/freebsd-webcam-
browser](https://www.davidschlachter.com/misc/freebsd-webcam-browser)
and remember to ***add*** **user** to `webcamd` group. I am running
Firefox 88 and it works.

Thanks & Best Regards

Michael

[multimedia/pwcview](https://www.freshports.org/multimedia/pwcview/)
in the article.

In addition: https://webcamtests.com/ to test usability with web
browsers.

I have Chromium working with two webcams, Firefox `88.0.1` working
with  only one of the two. I can ignore the problem.
