Opera GX shows a green screen instead of my webcam

I searched for this issue in various forums and on Reddit but couldn't find anything.
So when I connect my webcam for video calls, it detects the device but only shows a green screen. This also happens with the OBS virtual camera. I don't believe the problem is my webcam or PC, as it works perfectly fine in other applications. For example, my webcam works in Discord, but when I use Discord in the browser, my webcam shows a green screen. I suspect it’s an issue with the browser itself. I even tried using a different browser, and it worked just fine. However, I don't want to switch from GX since it's my favorite browser, and I don’t want to go through the hassle of logging into all websites again, and I hate having two browsers installed on my PC for some reason. -

Green usually means a hardware-acceleration issue with your GPU driver.
First, goto the URL
opera://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-encode, disable the "Hardware-accelerated video encode" flag and restart Opera to see if that helps. If not, turn the flag back on.If that doesn't help, while "Use graphics acceleration when available" is enabled at the URL
opera://settings/system, adjust the Angle flag for your GPU.If that doesn't help, put things back to default. Then, try disabling graphics acceleration at the URL
opera://settings/system. -
