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 have recently experienced this issue with Microsoft Teams Version 1.3.00.28779 64bit.

    Teams use of the Camera just closed teams automatically and relaunched it with a "glitch" error window.

    Skype worked fine still and Zoom untested.

    It took me a while to find a solution, but I uninstalled Teams from the pc and then directedly downloaded it from Microsoft.

    After reinstalling, this problem went away.

    For some reason I reinstalled my Nvidia GeForce drivers a few days later.

    The Teams camera crashing issue is now back.

    Again, I uninstalled Teams and reinstalled to fix the issue.

    I can only think that for me there is some sort of incompatibility with the latest Nvidia Drivers. 

    Even if you are not using a Nvidia GPU, it may be worth trying the uninstall and reinstall of Teams.

    I also have this issue, it started yesterday seemingly after an update. 

    You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.3.00.30866 (64 bit). It was last updated on 18/11/2020.

    Using either and external or inbuilt laptop camera Teams crashes out with the Glitch error.

    Its also displaying the same behaviours if I go into settings and 'hang around' for to long, ...to long is about a minute it seems

    The exact same things happens to a friend of mine (asking for them.) I've attempting to help them troubleshoot it to no avail. I've sent myself a copy of their log files so I can ask for help.

    I've got the same issue.  Additionally, even with the camera not connected, if I open the setting section in teams, if Canon EOS Webcam is selected, Teams will shutdown and I get the "There was a glitch, and we're recovering".  I'd agree, the issue seems to be associated with the MS Teams update.  The Canon works great as a webcam in Zoom with no issues.  Would love to be able to use Teams but need some help from MS to resolve.
