Can't start your camera

If you're sure the camera is connected and installed properly, try checking for updated drivers.

If you need it, here's the error code:

    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:

    A

    Open Device Manager.

    Expand the Cameras section.

    Please provide a screenshot of that full Device Manager window.

    B

    Click your Start Button, then just type msinfo and press Enter, please provide a screenshot of the resulting System Information window.
