My camera buttons are visible and I can click on them but both cameras are just a black screen. As if I am taking a photo in a complete dark room. I tried clearing cache, rebooting in safe mode. The camera won't even work with 3rd party apps like Skype or Viber. Phone has not suffered any physical damage. My phone is Pixel 3a and I just got the Android 12 update yesterday. Google support was useless.
 
Verify the Camera access block button (pull down menu) is not active (selected). I activated the camera block on my Pixel and the camera does go dark
