Can somebody acknowledge this issue? It's come up again for me and its the exact same situation, and I'm using a new version that I just updated to this morning.

Also got this issue in the last few weeks - websites and Brave see the camera I have and can activate it (LED on it lights up), but no image is provided (despite LED being on till I leave the site which is trying to use it).

Everything works fine in MS Edge 126.0.2592.102

Brave 1.67.123 on Windows 11 (x64) Build 26100.1150
