Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Macbook 16 running Bootcamp:
Every time I open a meeting in Zoom and switch on my video, the facetime camera tries to switch on, the green light appears but no video shows up, the green light then after some seconds switches off and on again, and the video appears.
It usually takes like 10-15 seconds to show any image. It doesn't happen when running MacOs though
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15
Well, I finally fixed it!
And it would be fixed! Now your Camera will start immediately, in HD mode and with a complete field of view so you won't seem to be so close to your lens 😅

Just in case this information is useful: I've just noticed the lens angle is also different between Zoom and Windows Camera. Zoom's one is quite narrower, or maybe it uses a different zoom level.
IMHO it feels like Zoom tries to open the camera using a specific driver, when it fails it uses the failover driver. That might be the reason the green light shows up and then disappears to show up again.
How long does it take for the Windows-native Camera App to open?
It's immediate. It takes a second to show video
Zoom should not be using it's own driver.
not its own driver, but a driver from Microsoft which fails, and that takes some time
The Camera App should also be using the same driver. The Camera should be accessible to both applications through the same driver.
Excellent!
Camera takes some time to show contents when connection to Zoom
