For what it’s worth and I really don’t fully understand how all these pieces come together…I was able to get the webcam kind of working…
If I issue the following command in a terminal:
gst-launch-1.0 libcamerasrc ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080,format=YUY2 ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video0
and then try to open google meet or MS teams in a browser, the webcam will be detected and work though quality is really terrible and colors are washed out. The command running in the terminal will keep the webcam active until you kill it.
I haven’t been able to figure out how to get v4l2 -relayd to only call this up when the browser accesses the webcam…probably because I have no clue how it works…

Title:
  Intel MIPI Camera not working out of the box on 25.04 where it did on
  24.10

Status in ffmpeg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in libcamera package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  From discourse post:
  https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/intel-mipi-camera-not-working-out-of-the-box-on-25-04-where-it-did-on-24-10/59072/1

  The ipu6 camera on a Dell Precision 5480 worked out-of-the-box on
  Ubuntu 24.10, but no longer does on 25.04-beta.  It was suggested on
  Discourse that this might be a regression in libcamera.  I personally
  don't understand the v4l/libcamera stack well enough to triage /
  route.

  Here's what I'm seeing --

  `ffplay /dev/video0` produces a video test image instead of actual
  video.

  However, gstreamer is able to show a good video stream via --

  $ gst-launch-1.0 libcamerasrc ! video/x-raw,width=1024,height=768 !
  autovideosink

  This is on 25.04 beta with libcamera 0.4 --

  $ lsb_release -rd

  v4l2-ctl sees many ipu6 video devices.  This looks wrong, but I'm not
  sure what it should look like, and don't have a working system to
  compare against.
