There are some who use their webcam with chromium frequently, including me. It's been a few weeks but I just tested it and it still works on -current. So if yours isn't working, it's either the configuration or your hardware... > uvideo0 at uhub2 port 6 configuration 1 interface 0 "Chicony Electronics Co., > Ltd.

In terms of configuration, you need to have kern.video.record enabled (see FAQ) and the device /dev/video0 needs to be owned by your user (also FAQ). If you made any prior changes, you want to make sure that /dev/video is still a symlink to video0 and not something else. I think in chromium, you might need ENABLE_WASM=1 for many video conferencing web pages.
