Webcam works in settings app only

Question

This is an interesting one for sure. I am on a Dell Precision 7780 running Windows 11 Pro and recently purchased a Logitech Brio 500. When I plugged it in the computer recognized it and when I opened settings the preview was there. However, when I opened teams, Skype, discord, etc. the camera would refuse to turn on. It would blink the LED 2-6 times then give a “camera in use by another application” error (or something along the lines) even after going into task manager and closing any program that could possibly use a camera. I have been through the basic troubleshooting steps (restart, ports, drivers) to no avail. I have confirmed a different webcam works as it should on this PC. I have also confirmed this webcam works on another PC running Windows 11 Home. From everything I can tell, it is an issue on this PC with Windows. This has really been stumping me, I would greatly appreciate any help.&nbsp;

Turn off camera access for all apps, restart your PC, then re-enable permissions.

Make sure the specific apps (Teams, Skype, Discord) are toggled&nbsp;On under "Choose which Microsoft Store apps can access your camera."

Could it be compatibility issue, with both hardware and software. It could happened to product of same model, but different unit/piece, eg. hardware of same model but different individual piece may have compatibility issue with motherboard.
