Manually allow google talk plugin?

ExecutorElassus

I use Opera (got sick of chromium running a 2-hour compile once or twice every week), and every time I try to start a video call, the window is faded out, and a little pop-up under the address bar instructs me to "Select 'Allow' for both google talk plugins…" to use the video call. There is nothing to click (it's just pointing at the address bar), and I can't find any useful information about where I can allow this manually. Both plugins are installed on Opera and enabled.

Is there a way to allow this manually, without going through Chrome or Firefox?

Cheers,

EE

Since i don't have Opera installed, the only way i can help you is investing some time (you might not have) for a deeper google search...

Seems to be an pretty old and common issue.
Those settings seem to be "well hidden" :-)

When google'ing arround i found reports of that error in the opera forums from oct 2014, but sadly no helpfull answer. [1]
The problem seems not to be limited to opera. Chrome users report the same issue [2]
Seems like the plugin itself is coded a bit uncomfortable.

I went on searching for the full error message and found at least a solution for chrome users [3] :

Hah! Thank you for doing some searching. I'd done so myself, but didn't find [4], which solved it (I had plugins set as "click to activate", which apparently doesn't work with the talk plugin, even with an exception). Anyway, now it works. I'm not sure what "detect and run important plugins" does that's different from "run all plugins", but now it works, at least.
