Webcam not working in Chrome

Ok, your probably looking for why your webcam is not working only in Chrome or Edge browsers but works everywhere else, including apps.

I messed with the advanced flags in Chrome and a few browser version “updates” later, my webcams all stopped working. Several Logitech, Elgato, Elgato camlink 4k, and even the integrated camera would not work on any webcam test, Google Meet, etc.

These flags allow you to permanently allow access to things like your camera, geolocation and even a preview bubble for your camera(s) from this icon

Go to this “url” in your browser: chrome://flags and in the searchbar on the next screen, type “camera” and set these options to default if they are changed for some reason. This should solve many issues.
