Re: iridium/chromium webcam access

I forgot to copy the error message returned by
https://webcammictest.com:

====================================
A hardware error has occurred
Although you granted permission to use the appropriate devices, there was a hardware error at the operating system, browser, or web page level that prevented access to the device.

Try unplugging the device from the computer and plugging it back in.
====================================

Not much to learn from this...
