It didn't work with 6.x. I rebuilt the beginning of April to CentOS 7. 
Didn't work, until I got rid of the default gspca_spca561, and used the 
gspca_spca508. Updated the beginning of this week, and didn't work until 
I went back to gspca_spca561.

Works 100% of the time with cheese, when I add that
preload.

I was really, really trying to avoid installing chrome.

Been trying to join a test meeting in firefox, and it opens a new tab, 
and demands that I use the app.

Thanks for trying.... I may have to try chrome (really didn't want 
google scanning what I do to sell it.

This is even more fun: I was trying to install chrome, maybe that would 
work.

wget 
https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
yum localinstall google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

I try to run chome, and first, it wants a kde wallet, and I hit cancel, 
never set one up... and google can't work. It won't even go to google.
com.

Anyone? Will it really not work without the damn wallet?

I use chrome (rarely, when I have no choice), but I have it installed and it
works without any wallet of any kind.  So that's something that I've
never encountered, personally.

But the first hit on google when I search "kde wallet chrome" shows me
what appears to be a solution to your problem.

Can we uninstall 2020 and install it again? This one has a virus.

Never have seen such a thing.  I use Chrome since many years on Fedora
Xfce-only systems (no KDE or GNOME installed) without such issues.
