I was on an MS Teams meeting a few weeks ago with camera working. The
main issue from my experience was the web client auto disconnecting
after a while.

I've seen testing/preview camera output being just a black rectangle, but
it worked in the meeting itself.

I have package libv4l installed; not sure if that is involved.
Otherwise, would check that everything has been set up correctly -
correct permissions on /dev/video0 (rw), sysctl kern.video.record=1,
and chromium running with ENABLE_WASM=1 in the environment.

Do other browser-based video calls work? Can test for example with Zoom
here: https://zoom.us/test

That seems like a painful workaround; check the above if that helps
narrow down the problem.
