Bug Description
On Ubuntu 22.04, the web camera does not work. It worked previously until about a week ago, after a few operating system updates. One of the updates may have broken the camera functionality.
In apps like web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) the camera does not work in Google Meet, Facebook or any website that utilizes the webcam. In desktop apps like the Camera app from the Ubuntu software center, the camera does not work either, the screen just shows blank when you launch the camera desktop app.
On my computer, there is always a red light that shows when the camera is on, but in the last one week, it has stopped showing, to mean that the camera is not working.

Please close this bug. I realized this was my error with deactivating the camera. So it is no longer valid.
