Bear in mind that due to the current crisis prices have doubled and
sometimes even quintupled for webcams, at least over here (Netherlands).

It's actually worse than that here. Virtually no deliveries seem to be quoted

Just to make it more interesting, it seems the audio of none of my machines work
on the LAC test site except my laptop, and that already has a camera which is at

This is probably a combination of hardware, distro and browser version, so it

I can only guess it is hiding, grabing the screen, then displaying itself
again. Clever people these web-foot types :)
Will.
