Hello friends.
I just successfully run Logitech Brio 500 (it's a USB-C webcam) on FreeBSD 14.1 and I want to share how. I used this message from forum, with some modifications:
1. install webcamd
2.
in:
/boot/loader.conf
in:
/etc/rc.conf
3. Very important to add a user to webcamd group:
4. Quick test:
I tested that approach in Firefox in Google Meet and it works, webcam and mic.
The only worry I have is the message from webcamd, I hope it will be not removed from ports:

===> NOTICE:
The webcamd port currently does not have a maintainer. As a result, it is
more likely to have unresolved issues, not be up-to-date, or even be removed in
the future.
