So I've used multi-cam a million times before. This is my first time on newest update. For whatever reason, The cameras will not switch. Normally if I click on the camera view that I want (while in the multi-cam viewer), It will switch the camera for me. Whether I am playing or paused, this always worked. Now, The yellow outline will not switch or select new cameras for me at all. What has changed and What went wrong?
Attached is a screen shot of how I synched the clips.
So,
I hit that point where I didn't know what else to do, and I restarted the PC. And magically, everything worked as it was supposed to.
So, some bugs I think in the newer updates. Not quite sure.
In CC 2023 (23.6.0) try clicking "S" to toggle Snap in the timeline. Solved it for me!
I was in the middle of editing a project and then all of a sudden lost the ability to select as the OP described.
I tried everything listed here, including:
I gave up and then was moving a clip about 5 minutes later and noticed
...I made this quick 40-second video demonstrating how I fixed it. DEFIJOHNNY is correct, at least in my case. The track targeting was the problem.

Agreed that track targeting is most likely the problem. In my case I had everthing mentioned in this thread correct INCLUDING the track targeting ((was selected (blue) to V1)). However I had to toggle V1 off and on to reselect it as the target track and then multicam selection worked once again!

In case this helps anybody else: I've had this problem on and off for a few years and always ended up just closing and reopening Premiere to fix it.... then I figured out that sometimes if my cursor is left in Type Tool mode, the multicam recorder buttons wont work (but only sometimes!), meaning that switching back to the normal Selection Tool before doing the multicam fixes it. It's so simple and stupid I could cry.
