Surface Pro 8 camera issues caused by Teams and New Teams

Hi,

My Surface Pro 8 has always had the issue of the camera not responding after joining a Teams session, then a Zoom or Google Meet session and then a Teams session again. With the new Teams App, the problem is much worst since it manages to mess up the camera by itself; I could be in the middle of a Teams session and the camera just freezes. The problem does not go away until I reset the computer. If I place it on stand by mode, Windows cannot activate the camera when I wake it up, it takes a reset to make the camera work again.

I have seen numerous post from other users with the same problem and all I have read as an answer form Microsoft is to update drivers or firmware. I hav done that multiple times, in fact, I just did again and the problem persists. Will look for a way to get back to the previous Team desktop application to make life bearable for a bit.

I will appreciate any assistance.

Here is all my device info:

    I came across this and have been struggling with the same issues on the SP7 on win11.

    Currently on latest drivers and 22H2 patching around October time frame.

    I can get my camera to restart by the disable / enable method which is frustrating, however have just turned off the feature for

    adjust the brightness

    soft focus.

    Initial feedback today suggests its much more stable - no video crashes.

    my tablet is an 8GB ram with the i51035G4.
    Video driver : 42.18362.3.16380 , driver date 19/06/2024 for AVStream Camera

    My Surface Pro 8 finally received a number of updates last week including the new camera driver 60.22000.5.15512 and so far new Teams seems to be behaving much better, let's hope it's finally fixed.
