[Python] Accessing camera on Chromebook

Recently purchased a chromebook. I'm trying to use openCV in IDLE to access my camera however I am unable to get any video.

Cheese on linux cannot access my camera either.

The built in camera app on the chromebook works fine.

I used this code along with others of similar nature and none could access my camera

import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

if not cap.isOpened():
print("Error: Could not open video.")
exit()

while True:
# Capture frame-by-frame
ret, frame = cap.read()

if not ret:
print("Error: Could not read frame.")
break

break

cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
