Mac Sonoma: Webcams permanently crash a few seconds after joining the meeting

For a few days now, I have noticed that when I connect to a meeting, the speakers' webcams work correctly for a few seconds and then freeze. I only notice this on my MacBook Pro with Sonoma installed. I would like to understand if there is any setting to act on or it depends on the operating system.

Yes, it's the webcams of the people in the meeting that are freezing for me. It only happens to me.
The only "temporary solution" I've found is to go to Preferences > Webcam and leave the relevant window active. What I've noticed is that as soon as I turn off my webcam the other webcams are frozen. If I reactivate it, something happens that allows me to see the other webcams active again.

Hi @klimt5, welcome to the community.

So it's the webcams of the people in the meeting that are freezing for you? When this happens do the other members of the meeting also see the webcams freeze or is it only happening to you?
