My hp elitebook's camera seems covered by a white object. I am unable to use the camera. How do I correct this?
I have actually used the camera for the past few weeks with no obstruction until I tried to sign-in with my face-id this morning and was unable to because of the white film over it.

Someone may trick you to cover the camera. Your machine may have a lens cover (similar to normal cameras) the web cam Please check and slide it to left (or right) to open the lens. By the way, what is your machine ?
Regards.
