I am experiencing regular crashes of MS teams when i enable either the internal or an external camera. 

The separate camera app works fine as does camera capabilities in other video apps such as zoom.

am running win 10

    I can confirm Teams crashing when using a Pi Webcam. When entering a meeting with the camera turned on or accessing Device settings in the settings menu, the app crashes almost immediately with the only indication of error is the text "there was a glitch". Very helpful.

    I was able to workaround this issue by using Virtual camera in OBS where the webcam works perfectly.

    Pasting part of Teams debug log.

    (by the way, I can't believe the debug logging doesn't anonymise user data, I found my e-mail adress scattered all over the place in the log)

    An update for my user case...

    I had reverted back to 1.3.00.15561 to gain back the functionality of my Canon M6 MkII using Canon EOS Webcam Utility.

    It seems Teams has auto-updated to 1.3.00.28779 (which adds the functionality of choosing audio and video options before a meeting. among other things I suspect) and it is still working. Fingers crossed...

    Not a perfect solution - but I found installing OBS, Starting the Virtual Camera and using that Virtual Camera within MS Teams works.
