Details

STR

  1. go to https://meet.google.com/
  2. click "New meeting"
  3. click "Start an instant meeting"

Expected

  • meeting begins and I can see my self view

Actual

  • frequently (I've only actually had it work once), it pauses at the "Loading..." screen. However, I can see my camera has been started and if I reload the page, the meeting "continues".

macOS latest Nightly

This being mac I suspect it could be one of my recent audio changes that is behind this, though I haven't seen this particular mode before. If device enumeration or allocating or starting a device hangs, this sounds like plausible symptoms.

I have caught the occasional deadlock on macOS 14, but those I have seen have frozen the parent process main thread -- some fixes to mitigate those in bug 1895787.

Would you mind sharing a profile covering this? Steps:

  • Go to about:logging, select the WebRTC preset, click Start Logging.
  • In another tab reproduce the issue, wait a few seconds but not too long as the profiling buffer is limited. Include the reload.
  • Back on about:logging, click Stop Logging.
  • In the profiler tab that appears, upload the profile (button in the top right corner) with hidden threads included and share the link here.

Thanks!

Flags: needinfo?(overholt)

I don't know what changed but I can no longer reproduce this. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the "Loading..." indicator to go away (seems to take longer in my usual profile as compared to a clean profile), but it doesn't stay "forever" like it did when I reported this.

I'll watch for it and reopen if I can reproduce.
