Web cam slow to start

Hi
When I start up Teams on Windows 10 it takes between 20 and 25s for the camera to operate.
This is a recent phenomenon which I cannot resolve.
It's a Logitech webcam that has worked fine before.
I have tested the camera using the Camera app and that works immediately .
Any ideas appreciated

Thanks

    Loosecanons Did you ever get this sorted out? I am having the same issue except that it is slow to start up in the camera app as well (but not in Zoom)
