UNSOLVED
ipu6 camera issues in Ubuntu 26.04.1
My IPU6 internal camera works in the default Camera app, and in Firefox. Does anyone with an IPU6 camera have the latest Ubuntu Chrome WebRTC camera capture working (like for google meet or for web Zoom client)?
Also, the latest stable Desktop Zoom doesn't work with my IPU6 camera either.
I understand IPU6 now has kernel level support in Linux 7, so I won't need oem drivers any more.

Update: by adding a custom V42L to Pipewaire relay service, I can turn the camera feed on and off whenever Zoom Desktop or Chrome WebRTC need it (so I can do Zoom meetings now), but it has the side effect that the camera indicator light is always on (because the relay is always running, even when the camera is on).
I have also made a similar service that turns the camera indicator light on and off whenever needed, but then my relay service isn't running so there is no actual camera feed in Zoom Desktop and Chrome WebRTC. If I could just bring the two services together, I would have a solution...
