I gad almost the same problem with HP probook 450 G1 built in webcam, but I saw the image and only when i was about to take a picture (countdown went to zero and flash appeared) I got the message about video not being able to play, but then I followed ramseygurley: the camera fails with cheese in default settings, but sorta works if I go into preferences and choose 1280x720 resolution. And I switched resolution to 640x480, restarted, switched back to 1280x720 and again restarted. Now I am able to take "selfies"
