Hello, I remember read about webcamera setup in Handbook Multimedia chapter but it is not available now. I found a good example that it might be good to add to Handbook: https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2021/05/26/freebsd-desktop-part-26-configuration-conferencing-and-meetings/ --- Conferencing and Meetings The Table of Contents for the article: - Camera Setup - Microphone Setup - Meetings - Closing Thoughts --- Thanks
(In reply to Nuno Teixeira from comment #0) When in doubt if blog author (me) allows it - let me be clear here. All posts on my blog - https://vermaden.wordpress.com/ - are posted under FreeBSD License. This means that you can use/copy whatever you want - you just need to mention the author. Hope that helps. Regards.

eduardo@ hi, I see that you are ports-oriented; and not usually a committer to the documentation tree. <https://wiki.freebsd.org/Developers#DeveloperLists> <https://cgit.freebsd.org/doc/log/?qt=committer&q=eduardo> At seventy-five pages, the Documentation Project primer might be more than what's expected from a primer ;-) and re: the linked pull request (PR), a relevant part of the primer is confusing/misleading. ---- A handful of essentials that might help to progress things here: Document Type | Asciidoctor Docs <https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/document/doctype/> In this context, the FreeBSD Handbook is a book. Section Titles and Levels | Asciidoctor Docs <https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/sections/titles-and-levels/> AsciiDoc Syntax Quick Reference | Asciidoctor Docs <https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/syntax-quick-reference/> I see your account in GitHub. Do you have a Matrix account?
(In reply to Ed Maste from comment #2) Thanks, some commentary at <https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/oqwcdt/-/>. Generally (defocusing from The FreeBSD Foundation post): for what it's worth, I shouldn't attempt to include a compatibility table in the FreeBSD Handbook.
Triage, batch edit (just one): * for twenty-eight FreeBSD Handbook-related reports that had gained a personal assignee, prior group/list assignee doc@ was missing from the CC list. Gentle hint: <https://wiki.freebsd.org/Bugzilla/> ▶ do, don't …
Assigning to doc@ as I'm a ports committer and I don't know how to do this work. Thanks
(In reply to Nuno Teixeira from comment #7) Ping me by email and I'll help you
Taking this PR again because I'm receiving help on how to do this work.

(In reply to Sergio Carlavilla Delgado from comment #11) Thank you so much! It looks great! Cheers
Thank You. FreeBSD Handbook is far more important place then any FreeBSD blog - including my own one. Regards, vermaden
