Turning off the video adjustment for lighting

[James_Wats2]

How do you disable the light adjustment on the video camera?  When I'm on a Zoom or Teams meeting, the video is constantly brightening and darkening the picture if I move just a little (changing the lighting slightly)??

@James_Wats2 , welcome to the forum.

What is the Product Number of the computer? I need this information to review the specifications of it. Please don't furnish the Serial # or other personal information. You can find the Product Number at the bottom of the page when you open HP Support Assistant.

The product # is 3UQ95AA#ABA

You are welcome, @James_Wats2!  Thank you for the additional information.

I reviewed all of the manuals and there didn't appear to be any instructions for changing the lighting adjustment.  I suggest that you open the On-Screen-Display (OSD) to see if there is a setting.  I believe the button for it is on the (right side facing) back of the computer.  There is likely a setting that is set to "Auto".  Also, there are video settings in Zoom that might help solve the problem.

Sorry for the slow response - I took 2 weeks off for Christmas with my family. 

I was unable to find someplace in the OSD to disable the lighting / brightness on the video camera.  

But I did discover that the Camera on the machine is a HP 5M

And this info is listed in the driver section

I hope you had a great time with your family!

The only other suggestion that I have is try to update the driver for the camera.  Go into Device Manager/Cameras/right click on the camera/Update driver/Search automatically for drivers.  If there is a newer driver it will be found and installed.  If not, it doesn't appear that much can be done.
