Camera does not work on microsoft teams only
wallybhI had the same issue in Windows build 19592 (insider preview). Just got an update today to version 19603 and voila - Teams is able to activate the cameras again!

This is a reported issue with 19592:
"[ADDED 4/2] We’re working on a fix for an issue causing webcams to not function correctly when attempting to make a video call in Microsoft Teams. The webcam should be unaffected when using Microsoft Teams via the browser."

sirtwist I'm using Web version, same problem. Camera is fine, works on EVERYTHING else, but not Teams. This is atrocious. Started when Windows FORCED an update despite me having disabled updates EVERYWHERE possible on my computer. I require this for work, and am about to launch another class-action suit against these assholes.
I experience the same problem at my pc. Its a Lenovo Legion laptop.
I can add the my failure description that on my own Windows profile it works in the MS Teams app.
But when my daughter (11 years old) use her profile and the same MS Teams app, then it does not work. We succeeded do uninstall the camera driver and then it works. But now it does not work again. My daughter has a Microsoft account and use that to log in to this pc. And she then use her school Microsoft account to log in to MS Teams. I don't know if that is a problem.
- Had issue of company managed PC (where i had no Admin rights) did not present USB webcam in Teams - However possible to use in Photo/Camera app.
Tested again some weeks ago, and now magically works. Probably some bug fix made in Teams.
