   It adds FD support to the device provider so apps like #cheese can just pass in the FD from the portal and get a list of available cameras, which then use the same FD/pipewire connection.

   It should get released in Pipewire 0.3.64 pretty soon.

   Now I just need to figure out how to get an up-to-date version of Pipewire into the gnome-nightly runtime :)

     If your app uses #gstreamer to access cameras - be it for videochat or an ever more common QR code scanner - and you'd like it to be properly sandboxed as #Flatpak without direct device access using #xdg-desktop-portal, then #PipeWire just landed an MR for its gstreamer plugin that might make your life easier.
