I have purchased an Imported 1.3 5MP Webcam Video Camera Module Board 1080p 720p Fast for Raspberry Pi 2. On testing this particular camera on Iceweasel/Firefox, the camera quality was absolutely fine; doing the same on chromium the video gets disrupted and pixelated.Even on using a normal USB camera with chromium, everything worked fine. Can someone suggest solutions for improving video feed on chromium using the raspberry pi camera or any compatible hardware? [No USB Camera]

Board: Raspberry Pi 2 B+ OS: Raspbian Jessie

Simply run the following commands to enable and configure the module:

echo "bcm2835-v4l2" | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/bcm2835-v4l2.conf > /dev/null
echo "options bcm2835-v4l2 gst_v4l2src_is_broken=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/bcm2835-v4l2.conf > /dev/null

Then reboot your pi:

sudo reboot

And everything should work like a charm ;)
