I guess that Oliver answer is a good workaround:
sudo snap connect chromium:camera :camera
But I think that this should be fixed, by default camera access should
be granted, or when the notification appear, the permissions should be
granted.

Title:
[snap] camera access doesn't work, even after connecting camera
interface
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed

After connecting the camera interface (snap connect chromium:camera
:camera), when browsing to e.g.
https://davidwalsh.name/demo/camera.php I get prompted to allow camera
usage, but the frame remains empty, it looks like the webcam is not
capturing anything.
