same here. camera is detected but just dont work
I believe this may be more of an upstream Wine problem than a Proton problem. The camera stack in Wine might be fairly immature, at least until PipeWire support is added.
For me it just briefly flashes the "Play" button to "Stop" and then back to "Play", opening no window.
I tried every available version of proton from the compatibility dropdown from 5.3 onwards and none worked, as well as 7.something even refusing to install.
damn this error hasn't been fixed for 2 years now? i am getting issue where webcam do not work on vrchat

That's probably because WINE (what Proton is based on) doesn't seem to have webcam support anywhere near their priority list. But because it's open-source you can add it if you have the coding skills and time. Which I both don't have, unfortunately.
Compatibility Report
System Information
I confirm:
Symptoms
Camera does not work at all. The game detects it, but it can't view it at all. I've verified that this is the case with normal Wine as well.
I can, however, run OpenSeeFace to track and it works just fine.
Reproduction
Run the app as normal, and try to use a system webcam (no external facetracker).
You can also try this with VSeeFace and see that this issue happens there as well. VSeeFace also has a tutorial on getting it to work with Linux and macOS.
