Android Emulator Can't Use WebCam as Camera

I'm using AVD to set up a device. End goal is to click on the camera app and it uses the laptop's webcam. I don't even care what device, target, etc. I have to use. I just want one that works, and I'm willing to start from scratch.

If I emulate the camera, it works. When I have the camera set to Webcam0 in the AVD setup, the red light next to the webcam turns on and this is the image I get:

enter image description here

enter image description here

EDIT: For whatever reason, it's working now. The only thing I've done since the last time I verified it wasn't working was open the Lenovo - Web Conferencing app and clicked to show my video image. Since then it has worked.

I was in a similar situation and the problem was also not in the Android emulator. I forgot to check the camera on my host system. (https://stackoverflow.com/a/60232825/11130103)

Reinstall webcam drivers and check if that helps.

a. Click start and type Device Manager in the Search bar and hit enter.

b. In Device Manager, locate the device, and then right-click the device name.

c. Select uninstall and restart the computer.

d. Let Windows detect the device and install the drivers by itself.

e. If that does not help, install the latest drivers from the manufacturer’s website
