#Laptop camera won’t work

So I bought a gaming laptop a year and a half ago, and I started to use zoom for online classes recently but for some reason the webcam won’t work. I checked windows settings as well as device manager and it doesn’t seem to list a camera at all. As if a webcam was never built into the unit in the first place, but I know it has one.

maybe not connected as in cables got knocked loose??

Is that a keyboard shortcut?

Sometimes a literal switch next to the webcam (e.g. Framework)

#

Sometimes under the laptop or elsewhere (e.g. old Acer Aspire or HP ProBooks)

#

Tho I'm assuming yours is an MSI?
It should be F4 via Fn (the logo of a circle with a neck, slashed across)

Yeah I can try that out, cause when I try to look at it on device manager, it was hidden

#

I suppose that’s what that function key does

The F4 key disables the track pad

#

It’s actually F6

#

I didn’t even realize that it was disabled when I bought it

hushed flint
#

Yup! Just pulled mine out of the backpack to check

#

It is F6 xD

Why is that

hushed flint
#

I have to show up in person to all of mine

robust flax
#

I still have to do that too on different days

Cause the things they are teaching me need to be practiced in a controlled environment
