Thanks for the report.  Yes, I think it makes sense to add
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad as a Recommends.  I'll do that in the next upload.

Bug#1037156: nheko: improve audio/video experience: error message or Recommends: gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: nheko
Version: 0.11.3-2
Severity: minor

Hi,

trying to place a video or voice call with nheko failed here with an
error message around missing "webrtcbin". I eventually figured what it
means: Please install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad and then it works.

Would it be possible to improve the error message to ask the user for
installing that package?

and/or

Can you add gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad to nheko's Recommends?

Thanks for considering

Helmut
