Sorry for the inconvenience caused don’t worry let me help you.

To better understand the issue, could you please provide a few more details?

 Kindly follow the below Troubleshooting Steps

1. Check Privacy Settings
   • Press Windows + I to open Settings.
   • Go to Privacy & Security > Camera.
   • Make sure Camera access is turned On, and that apps you use (Zoom, Teams, etc.) are allowed.
2. Verify Camera Driver

   • Expand Cameras or Imaging Devices.
   • Right‑click your camera → Update driver.
   • If the camera has a yellow warning icon, uninstall it and restart your laptop to reinstall automatically.
3. Check HP Camera  Shutter
   • Some HP laptops have a physical camera shutter or a function key (often F10 or F12) to enable/disable the camera.
   • Please confirm that the shutter is open and the camera is enabled.
