I have the following packages installed:
cheese-3.34.0-3.fc32.x86_64
cheese-libs-3.34.0-3.fc32.x86_64
camorama-0.20.7-5.fc32.x86_64

When I run either cheese or camorama, the webcam is activated. cheese 
gives you some interesting creative effects, and allows you to make 
videos.

Running Xfce ...

Multimedia->Cheese
or
Multimedia-> Camorama Webcam Viewer

fyi,
