Pipewire doesn't recognize camera, but does when process is restarted

[Raul L. S. Grangeiro]

The Pipewire doesn't recognize the Webcam of my laptop, so the app Snapshot desn't found a camera, but after I run this command it works:

$ systemctl --user restart pipewire

After that the Snapshot app recognizes the camera.

Another information: if you use Cheese the camera will work, but after your restart Pipewire you'll find an option on Cheese to change from V4L to Pipewire camera, option that wasn't found until you restar Pipewire, meaning that the problem isn't the Snapshot app, but Pipewire itself.
