Webcam only useable with sudo in Software

Hello everybody,
first of all, thank you for this crunchbang successor. I use bunsenlabs since day one and love it <3

I use a Raspberry Pi Webcam ( Pi Zero, HQ Camera and a sd card with showmewebcam[you can find it on github] flashed on it ) and the first time it worked flawless(in Chrome, OBS, Cheese).

But now only i can only use it when i start in obs as sudo. Cheese never detects the webcam. I have a bad feeling to run a web browser with sudo, so i don t know if the webcam works there. 

The Webcam is not showing in lsusb. In hardinfo it shows up as keyboard o.o

Any ideas?

And sorry for the bad grammar, i m not a English native speaker. I m also sorry that my first post is a cry for help.

Thank you very much in advance.

First Welcome to the forums.

Next no need to apologize for your grammar.  You post is 100% understandable And there is nothing wrong with your first post being one asking for help.

You can use your own language and then the same text in English below it.

Maybe some sort of group/user permissions story
