Having an issue with a new iMac with the Apple M1 Chip and Microsoft Remote Desktop 10.6.7, specs:
iMac 24-inch (2021)
Chip: Apple M1
Memory: 16GB
macOS: Big Sur 11.4

Issue is that MS RDP crashes randomly, but it can be reproduced when trying use the iMac's built-in camera in applications such as Camera, zoom, Cisco jabber and MS Teams during the remote session.

Updates have been ran on remote machine and confirmed that the Remote Desktop camera driver on the windows remote machine is up to date.

Updated Zoom and all other applications on both host and remote machine.
Microsoft Problem Report provided a log and the last crash (very long) here's the top of the log:
