If you can provide a minimal reproducible demo (CodePen, CodeSandbox, etc) or a GitHub repository, that will greatly help us to solve your problem. Many of the issues posted are questions about react-webcam usage. We don't discourage you posting a question, it's just a lot easier to help you if we can see your code.
If the browser on mobile has Camera permissions set to "Don't Allow", there is no message or anything that pops up, the "Take Photo" button that should launch the webcam component simply stays in an "active" state and the webcam never appears, though the "Capture photo" button will. If I manually change the browser's permission to "Always Ask" or "Always Allow", it works fine. So the issue is the webcam not working if the browser doesn't have camera permissions set. However, b/c there's no message, it is not at all clear why the webcam isn't working or how to resolve it (I was stuck trying to debug for a long time). App should either ask for a permissions change or post a notification that permission is denied so webcam won't work.
