Trying to display a webcam stream in windows pygame, shell keeps restarting

Question

Coding a program and using pygame as an interface. Wanted to display a live stream from the laptop webcam on half the screen, but every time I run my code shell restarts. This is my code:

import pygame
import pygame.camera

pygame.init()

gameDisplay = pygame.display.set_mode((1280,720), pygame.RESIZABLE)

pygame.camera.init()
cam = pygame.camera.Camera(0,(1280,720))
cam.start()
while True:
    img = cam.get_image()
    gameDisplay.blit(img,(0,0))
    pygame.display.update()
    for event in pygame.event.get() :
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT :
            cam.stop()
            pygame.quit()
            exit()

The pygame shell shows a black screen for a second and then crashes, the python shell reads this:

= RESTART: C:/Users/micha/OneDrive/SCHOOL/A level material/Computer Science/The Project/pygameTest.py pygame 2.1.2 (SDL 2.0.18, Python 3.9.1) Hello from the pygame community. https://www.pygame.org/contribute.html

================================ RESTART: Shell ================================

Help would be greatly appreciated
