Hello! Few weeks ago one of my computers run into the problem with integrated webcam. That is Dell Latitude E5530 notebook under Win10 x64. It was okay before. Now when I attempt video in google meet for google classroom, webcam's LED goes on, but no video starts. Even if I close meeting or even firefox completely, LED remains on. Also webcam seems to be locked and hang, I cannot access it with any other app. After reboot it goes off, I can access webcam with skype, viber, zoom. It also works just fine with google meet if run in google chrome. Then attempt meet in firefox - and it will lock up again. All softwares on autoupdate and I believe they are up to date. Tried other user on that machine, tried refresh that profile, tried removing enumerated_devices.txt, no changes at all. Please help to trace down this issue. Thanks
