In many cases people don’t have a webcam but only microphone (or headset), especially on desktop computers. Instead of not working at all, we should handle this gracefully:

  • Still ask for permission to use the microphone
  • Show the avatar placeholder for yourself and for the others (currently a black video view is shown)
  • Maybe give some feedback about the missing webcam in case it’s not working or you forgot you have one

cc @fancycode @Ivansss @LukasReschke can we make that work?

See here for an example on how we handle something similar with spreed-webrtc (we do a transparent graceful fallback to the avaliable device):
