Okay, if anyone needs the solve. Open Messenger within facebook in your browser and initiate a video call from there. The system will prompt to give access to your mic and camera. I rarely use messenger from within FB (try to stay off of FB), so I had been using the desktop version of the messenger app and it would not prompt for camera access.

Go to system settings>privacy and security>camera to allow the access to the camera for messenger.
If this is not working: is your device managed by a company or an educational institute? Then the system admin might prohibit the tweaking of this setting
I don't have any applications which includes Messenger that are in the list of applications that have access to my camera in the settings on my MacBook
How'd you fix yours?
The "Messenger" app is not listed on the 'Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera' on my m3 Mac
I'm having the same problem. Messenger is not in the Camera app list. How did you fix it? Thanks!
Nevermind, I fixed it
