        @Mykle1 Hi Mykle1, I haven’t however the stream should start as soon as the magicmirror comes up without me saying anything to the voice control. I changed the following to true in camera.js:

        display: true

        I have the same setup on windows pc and it works; however, when doing the same with the same webcam on the raspberry I get no stream.

          I am having the exact same issue. I have also made the same changes that you have.
          Were you able to get it fixed?

            I have the same problem with my usb cam.
            So, i installed Motion and then I used the iShow module to show the stream of the cam.
            but that’s was not easy.

                    @hsalas After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that it had more to do with the power usage of the raspberry pi than any sort of code/module issue. I noticed I was getting low power notices while just trying to use the webcam. Even using webcamoid would lag, stutter, and give those errors. So I installed Ubuntu 20.04 on a mini desktop, installed MM and the modules (with some tweaking to get pyaudio working) I had no issues, and everything worked perfectly.

                    Which means it’s either the pi itself not having enough power, the webcam you are using is drawing too much power, or a combination of both.

                    Might be worth exploring
