Webcam fails to output video stream

[janwlm]

The webcam on my MacBook Air (M2), doesn't work. The hardware gets detected, but when trying to access the video stream it always fails (see logs for more info). In macOS the webcam works exactly as expected.

I have no clue as to what could be the issue. Hope someone here can shed some light on it. Please let me know if any additional information is needed!
