I'm new to Linux. After installing Ubuntu when I explored all features at that time I noticed that the Camera app was not detecting my laptop's webcam, but when I'm using Windows 11 it works perfectly.

Have you tried installing cheese? I had this same issue and I installed cheese and it detected my camera. Try the command "sudo snap install cheese." in your terminal app

If your issue is the same as mine and another's, assuming you're using the latest Ubuntu, probably Pipewire not having all its dependencies, maybe try installing libcamera-ipa and pipewire-libcamera then:

systemctl --user restart wireplumber.service

then try the Camera app / snapshot again.

Here's some steps to fix that (it worked for me and should work for you)

  1. Open a Terminal Ctrl + Alt + T

  2. Update the package list for your repository

sudo apt-get update
  1. Restart pipewire
systemctl --user restart pipewire
  1. Run snapshot from terminal. snapshot is the package name for camera app.
snapshot

It should work after that.
