I filed https://launchpad.net/bugs/2061687 for one particular issue with Snapshot with a link to the upstream bug/discussion and a simple workaround. We aren't yet sure how to fix the issue.

On my system camera works just adding video group to my user

Right, but we're not going to do that for everyone.

There was another workaround in the upstream bug:

systemctl edit --user wireplumber.service

Add this then save the file and exit:

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 1

(And if one second isn't long enough, you could try a larger number.)

The problem with that suggestion is remembering to undo it after the issue is fixed for everyone.

I issued the command. I added the text in question where it should be added. I pressed Ctlr+X and then Enter. It didn't fix the camera issue for me. In order to revert it I did the same thing except of deleting the aforementioned text.

Did you try larger numbers? Upstream suggested 5 instead of 1.
