Bug Description
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Beta
On multiple computers, it appears like Snapshot doesn't work until I either:
- unplug the external USB webcam and plug it back in
- use the Fn key to disable the internal webcam and re-enable it
- or use a more complex method for internal webcams that don't have a hardware button to disable and enable them
I have reported this issue upstream
Workaround
----------
In a terminal run
systemctl --user restart wireplumber.service

For me the fix included the new version of pipewire (now released in 24.04) AND adding my user to the video group
