    Hi syed,

    I'm Dyari. Thanks for reaching out. I will be happy to assist you in this regard.

    In order to enable Windows hello face recognition feature, your camera should be IR camera, but your laptop camera is not IR depending on the link below:

    https://www.lenovo.com/in/en/laptops/ideapad/s-...

    That is why it said "Your camera is not compatible".

    Please let me know if you need further assistance and keep me updated.
