The obvious solution is not to use DisplayLink but I do like having two monitors. I have a Microsoft Webcam 3000. The software picks it up but the preview display is greyed out. Oddly Cheese and Vokoscreen work just fine. The other app that is affected is Microsoft Teams, its detects the webcam but says it cannot use it or the microphone. I need Teams for remote teaching. I have have had no luck getting the ThunderBolt 3 port to work either as an alternative to the DisplayLink. I am using Budgie linux Ubuntu 20.04 on an ASUS PN62 (Intel graphics) but that's another problem. I have a fine collection of USC-C adaptors supposedly Thunderbolt 3 compatible but no luck. So that aside any ideas why OBS and Teams can't access the camera but Cheese and Vokoscreen can ? Any suggestions to explore are cer - Alyre
