  2. Just a couple of suggestions It may or may not work:

    First: Try lowering the settings like the photo and video resolution It might solve your problem.

    Second: have you install codecs yet? if not, just run

    sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras

    Third: If it still doesn't work try installing kamoso. as an alternative camera app

    sudo apt install kamoso
