Camera Not Working on MacBook Pro

After updating my computer to the new mac os 15.2 the camera on my mac has not been working. Not in FaceTime, not on PhotoBooth and even when I try to do zoom it just has my camera as automatically off and says in settings that camera is unavailable. I think the issue started when I tried the new "using your IPhone as a webcam feature" and ever since then my computer camera has been confused. I already tried disconnecting that airplay feature by disabling "camera continuity" on my phone's settings, but still the issues persists. Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks!



MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.2
