I have not encountered this problem on the new MacBook in the last few years. But sometimes I get written by friends who haven't updated macOS in years. So I took a note in Notes that I use as a snippet solution to this problem.
Usually, a webcam problem is detected just before the call. So this bug isn't very nice. On my old MacBook Pro, I did the following:
Forced to disable VDCAssistant and AppleCameraAssistant processes.
We open the terminal and kill processes with commands:
sudo killall VDCAssistant
and
sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant
You will need to enter your user's password.
After that, you can update the Google Meets page or re-upload the Zoom app. The green diode will light up and the camera will work.
Another standard method:
Turn off and turn on the computer. It is important not to reboot, but to exclude and enable (so that all processes start again).
