First of all, there have been a few Linux kernel updates in Ubuntu 20.04 since you opened this issue. Please upgrade your system and check if you have the latest available version of the kernel installed; in a terminal, you can run these commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
uname -r
You should get something like "5.13.0-30-generic".
If the problem still persists, install the Video4Linux utility package and check what formats and resolutions are available for the webcam; again, in a terminal:
