    Thank you. Finally found the button switch above camera. It is on edge of laptop above camera. Difficult to find. Solved my problem!

    Hello, this is Emily.

    Most camera issues can be due to a physical privacy cover covering the lens. Make sure that's not the case.

    Otherwise there is usually a physical button/key/switch you can use to turn the camera on or off. For example, most Lenovo uses F8 or Fn+F8, or a switch above the lens, HP has a camera key or a button on the side of the laptop, MSI uses F6 or Fn+F6, etc.

    If you are not sure, please hold down Windows + R keys, type in msinfo32.exe and hit enter. Then share a screenshot of the System Information window. Thanks!

    On my other laptop. I have a fn key that blocks the mic and camera. Press a bunch of buttons and see if it unblocks it.
