Hi, I have problems with video calls on whatsapp. The video captured by the camera of my phone (A5 2017 (a5a17lte)) is very choppy and in a very bad quality.
Video recording with the OpenCamera App is working fine.
I’am not the biggest fan of WhatsApp either but I used it for video calls because it works an most of my family is using whatsapp for staying in touch with each other. But thank you for your point fo view!
I found a solution for this issue. It seems that video calls on whatsapp are not working as expected on phones with camera2api. One thread on XDA that I found:
Following the suggestion to add whatsapp to the HAL1 package list I added following line in /system/build.prop:
vendor.camera.hal1.packagelist=com.whatsapp
After a reboot whatsapp video calls worked fine again for me.
