Android Emulator Camera using webcam

Question

I'm trying to use my webcam as camera for android emulator. For some reason, it's not working. I followed everything that people suggested, and it's still not working. See config file below.

camera error

I'm sorry I don't have the source but I read that having the same camera as both front and back causes problems - this is the case here according to the linked image. I can't be entirely sure as I have other problems myself but that's what I read. UPDATE: purely by chance I found a question discussing the same issue https://stackoverflow.com/a/30792615/364088 - some people say it's a problem and some people say it isn't so it's up to you to decide but I mention it as it might be worth bearing in mind. — glaucon, Nov 30 '21 at 05:02
