I can't seem to allow the camera when using sites like meet.google.com

I recently tried to connect to two different meeting sites. Both times I got a pop-up noting (correctly) that camera and microphone are blocked. I'm able to click to enable the microphone but I never get the option to enable the camera.

I tried going to Settings>Security&Privacy>Camera but that only allows me to remove previously-enabled websites.

Clicking on the settings button in the address bar shows audio and recording settings but no camera.

What am I doing wrong?

I have no issues with meet. Can you go to these sites and test that your camera is working. https://webcammictest.com/ https://app.zoom.us/test

Looking at your screenshot, it appears that the camera is not available. What Desktop? X11 or Wayland?
