What happens on this site? https://webcamtests.com/

Also try this zoom test. https://zoom.us/test

Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

I am running the latest Firefox from Ubuntu repo- just updated yesterday

I can access the camera from "Camera" app and from "Cheese", both work fine.

For zoom, you launch from the browser to see if the camera works. see screenshot Post a screenshot showing what happens. I know you're running your distro version, try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release” I run all versions of Firefox(Mozilla) and Waterfox from my downloads folder and of course my distro version. see screenshot
