My problem is that the webcam camera is blocked by a cover on my device.

How do I remove that cover?

I would guess that if your model includes both camera / webcam and camera cover, that the cover mechanism slides to the side to expose the camera lens.

Thanks for the response. However, I have checked and there is no sliding feature on my laptop.

You are welcome.

It just doesn't look like the camera lens is covered (in the guides).  That said, there might be a bit of sticky-film covering the lens that was applied to protect the camera during shipment. ?

Based on the illustrations in the device Service and User Guides, I do not have another explanation.
