Hi.

I have a USB webcam that I have used previously on Windows and wanted to 
test on my RPi 5.

I've installed MS Teams but it doesn't recognise the camera (plugged in to 
a USB socket on the Pi).

VLC does give me a picture when I set it to use the camera, but the 
colours are just green and purple and black, so not usable.

Does anyone have recommendations for a USB camera that I can use with the 
Pi5, or software I might need?

TIA,
