Did you also edit your webcam.txt in your config folder with your camera info and restart

I am with ratos alpha 4 and can’t find webcam.txt ( I didn’t change it)
Ok, you probably need to create it then. Here is what mine looks like https://github.com/jscancella/myKlipperFiles/blob/main/vcore3-webcam.txt

Just to note, if you are on the latest RatOS then it uses crowsnest.conf

I'm using RatOS 2.0. Can you please explain what i need to have in the crowsnest.conf and where i need to create the file please
See Maverik's comment above. crowsnest.conf goes next to your printer.cfg (same directory).
