Why does Opencv work with my webcam but nnot with my kinect v2?

I am using A kinect V2 instead of a webcam for a opencv project and wanted to test some code using it. I used the laptop webcam and it worked perfectly. But with the kinect it turns on and then crashes the program and gives a error message.

This is the snippet of code.

import cv2
print(cv2.__version__)
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

if not (cap.isOpened()):
    print("Could not open video device")

while(True):    
   
    ret, frame = cap.read()    
    

    cv2.imshow('frame', frame)
 
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):    
        break
    
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

The error I got was this:-

[ WARN:1] global D:\a\opencv-python\opencv-python\opencv\modules\videoio\src\cap_msmf.cpp (1022) CvCapture_MSMF::grabFrame videoio(MSMF): can't grab frame. Error: -2147024809
