Go into Control Centre, then Users and Groups. Then Advanced Settings, and enter your password. Go to User Privileges Tab, and scroll to bottom of list and check "use video devices". Then reboot or log out and back in again.

Hope this sorts it for you. :D

look likes your webcam not detected, maybe you need special key ( Fn+key combination ) to turn on/off inbuild webcam.
