Today I ran some tests with gstreamer-properties. Initially the webcam is not working there, the terminal output is:

"gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'Video for Linux 2 (v4l2)': Could not open device '/dev/video0' for reading and writing. [v4l2_calls.c(507): gst_v4l2_open (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src1:
system error: Device or resource busy]"

But when I test another plugin for the video input and then switch back to the v4l2 plugin, the webcam is suddenly working in gstreamer. However, this effect is only temporary.
