Photo booth video freeze

When I try to take a video of myself in Photo booth, the image freezes when the timer (before it starts recording) reaches 2, and when I stop it, it shows a minute-long frozen image whereas I only recorded about 4 seconds. The App Store says there's no updates to do and I've had this problem for months.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.5
