## Issues and discussion
There is no mailing list for the driver but some discussions take place at #facetimehd on irc.freenode.net
Feel free to join and ask your questions, or help out by answering other people. Issues can be reported here on github but please make sure your issue is not already answered and/or not covered in the "Known issues" section below.
## Current Status
The driver is now able to stream video. It can be accessed through the V4L2 API. It is still experimental so your mileage may vary.
Since this driver depends on vb2_dma_sg_init_ctx, it requires Linux kernel 3.19 or later.
Note that this module requires **Linux kernel 4.4 or later** (it is currently unknown which earlier kernels it will work with).
According to Apple the following models contain a Facetime HD camera and should be compatible with this driver:
* iMac (21,5", since mid 2011)
