I don’t think it’s about permissions. My camera starts, I can initiate the call, but then it freezes. Then the call drops. I need to wait until it becomes black and then in a few seconds it starts again. Although sometimes just a system restart solves it.

I have noticed that if it’s a call with two or more people, it does not happen. It’s just when you are in one-to-one calls. On the other hand, the camera app works just fine.
