No camera found

I have a video meeting tomorrow and tried to see if my camera worked. I have an error message saying there isn't a camera in my device manager. Please advice

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

1
Look at the function keys (F1 - F12) on your keyboard, if one of them has a camera icon, press that key or Fn + that key to unlock the webcam.

2
If that was not the problem, look at the camera lens above your screen, is there a small privacy slider that needs to be opened to access the webcam?

3
If the webcam is still not working, go to the support page for your laptop on the manufacturers website, then from there, download and re-install the version of webcam drivers they provide
