haukew I am having the same problem and happened upon a workaround.
After launching Teams and entering the meeting, I see a black screen where my camera feed should be (note I also see this in the preview before entering).

Note this has to be done every time I enter a meeting.
Not ideal, but better than not having video or having to keep my laptop open.
I hope MS fixes the underlying issue soon, but hopefully this works for you in the interim and helps you (and any others in this thread) get by.

Thank you! This is working for me as well. Were you able to find a permernat fix?
niklash1265 my "permanent fix" was to buy a different webcam :). I now use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K986YLL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I wish I had something better for you.
