Camera stream freezes after some seconds

Camera model

Logitech c270

What is the problem?

The camera stream URL works for a few seconds when opened in Firefox, but then immediately freezes (also freezing the web UI for Octoprint). When opened in the octoprint Control UI, it doesn't completely freeze for some reason, but I'd need the stream URL to work.

What did you already try to solve it?

Updating. Rebooting fixes it but then the problem reoccurs

Have you tried running in safe mode?

Yes

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

No
