Camera model
Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3
What is the problem?
The Rpi correctly lists the camera with "rpicam-hello --list-cameras". But the webcam stream never loads in the OctoPrint Control tab.
What did you already try to solve it?
Initially the Rpi did not detect the camera. I found a setting of "camera_auto_detect=0" in /boot/firmware/config.txt. Changed that to "camera_auto_detect=1". Camera was detected after that.
Beyond that I've done nothing. Found much online info and guidance. But it appears old to me and maybe out of date relative to the SD card I created yesterday using the Raspberry pi Imager with the then-current Octoprint image.
Have you tried running in safe mode?
Yes.
Did running in safe mode solve the problem?
No. Nothing changed.

Browser is Firefox two different PCs; one Windows 10 the other Windows 11--same problem on both
Finally, I have another Octoprint image on another SD card. This SD card in the same Rpi works okay. The video stream always loads immediately, but is sometimes choppy and sometimes freezes. Given that this older Octoprint install works, I have, in my mind, ruled out the camera, the Rpi, the printer, and the browser and browser OS. Details for the older Octopring image are listed below. My hope was that using the latest, greatest versions for PiOS and OctoPrint would fix my streaming issues. Instead, the latest, greatest versions appear to have disabled streaming.
