Using Roll20 with Opera

I've been using Opera browser for my roll20 design and layout but when I try to run the game in it I can't get the webcam to work. I know in other threads users have said, "All the browsers are free so what's the big deal?" Well, here it is. Firefox has difficulty scrolling big maps with dynamic lighting. Chrome has the same issue as Opera and both Firefox and Chrome don't support a true full screen mode, meaning that if the mouse cursor gets too close to the top of the screen it can be frustrating for users (and the GM). IE doesn't work at all which leaves Opera.
Since the only issue I've found after quite a lot of time spent in roll20 is the webcam I'm hoping there is a work around someone can tell me about.

Roll20 is primarily tested against Chrome, so if you find something not working there, best post a bug report. Ideally, if the same feature is broken for you in both Chrome and Opera, fixing it for Chrome fixes it for Opera, too. =)

Well, assuming you're not on a resource-limited computer, my solution to similar issues is to simply log in twice, with different browsers. By webcam I assume you mean you cannot send video, but you can see other videos fine, so you could send video from firefox or chrome in the background and have Opera in the foreground.

Have you downloaded the chrome extension for opera and tried it?

I highly recommend the reading of this if you want to keep opera

Opera extension add-on

From what I gathered is that you should be able to get it working with the latest opera running the chrome extension. If you haven't tried it, can't hurt.Just remember to backup you computer by changing anything. Keep aware of what you are installing so you can change it back to it was before.

Oh is this by yourself in the game room? If it is then the voice/video is disabled by default. It takes two or more for the voice/video to be functional.

@Brian: I wasn't sure if this was an issue for me or everyone. I'll recheck chrome today to ensure it's still broken. Is it ever anything but? ;)

@Logan: That's an idea. It's not a very elegant idea, but if all else fails that could work. Thanks.

@Pat: I do have the chrome extension add-on but I'm failing to see the relevance unless there's some chrome plug-in I'm supposed to have installed. That could explain why both Chrome and Opera cant use the webcam but it doesn't explain why Firefox can.

And what's up with the adobe flash plugin version of the chat? It doesn't seem to do anything at all and yet it should work with any web browser. I can't find any information on it on the site.

I was just asking to see if you did and it was just an idea. Good luck.

LOL, thnx Pat.
