@i-need-help--, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 

 
I understand your built-in camera stopped working and you deleted the driver, but now you're unable to find a replacement. Let's get your camera working again with the following steps:

Check Windows Updates

Sometimes, Windows automatically reinstalls missing drivers:

• Go to Settings > Windows Update
• Click Check for updates
• Install any available updates and restart your laptop

Use HP Support Assistant

HP Support Assistant can detect and install missing drivers:

• Download it from HP Support Assistant - HP Support Assistant | HP® Support
• Install and open the app
• Click Updates and Messages and follow prompts to install the camera driver

Download Drivers from HP Website

Visit the official HP driver page for your laptop:

• Victus Gaming Laptop 15-fa0xxx Drivers
• Select your Windows version
• Look under Driver - Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices or Driver - Original
• If no camera driver is listed, it may be managed by Windows Update

Use Device Manager

• Press Windows + X → select Device Manager
• Click View > Show hidden devices
• Look under Imaging Devices, Cameras, or Unknown Devices
• If found, right-click → Update driver → Search automatically

Install Generic Microsoft Driver

If the camera still doesn’t appear:

• In Device Manager, right-click the missing camera device
• Choose Update driver → Browse my computer
• Select Let me pick from a list → choose USB Video Device

Reset the Camera App

• Go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps
• Find Camera, click Advanced options
• Scroll down and click Reset

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
