Using Ubuntu 24.04 OS, my laptop camera is not working. Although my camera is enabled but it is still not working (opens as a black screen). I searched for solutions and tried cheese, snapshot and even vlc but it still opens as a black screen. Note that when I use a USB camera, it works normally. What is the solution or should I use an older version of Ubuntu?

I was getting Camera not found error after I updated my Ubuntu to 24.04 LTS. The camera was working fine when using Google Meet etc(via the web), meanwhile, the snapshot showed this error. This error was resolved using the below commands

sudo apt update
systemctl --user restart pipewire
snapshot

If the "Camera" app doesn't work for you...

Add yourself to the "video" group and it'll work fine.

adduser your_username video

Then you MUST log out, then use this command to check if you're in the video group:

groups

If you don't show up there, then you MUST reboot.
