@MVDEL, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you're having trouble with the HP Wide Vision Camera not turning on during Zoom meetings on your HP Pavilion x360 - 14-ba123tu. Let's go through some steps to get this resolved:
Check Camera Privacy Settings
- Press Windows + I to open Settings.
- Go to Privacy & Security > Camera.
- Ensure Camera access is turned On.
- Scroll down and make sure Zoom is allowed to access the camera.
Test Camera in Windows Camera App
- Press Windows + S, type Camera, and open the Camera app.
- If the camera works here, the issue is likely with Zoom settings.
- If it doesn’t work, proceed to the next steps.
Update or Reinstall Camera Driver
- Press Windows + X and select Device Manager.
- Expand Imaging Devices or Cameras.
- Right-click on HP Wide Vision HD Camera and select Update driver.
- Choose Search automatically for drivers.
If that doesn’t help:
- Right-click the camera again and choose Uninstall device.
- Restart your laptop. Windows should reinstall the driver automatically.
You can also manually download drivers from the HP Software and Driver Downloads page. Official HP® Support
Check Zoom Camera Settings
- Open Zoom and go to Settings > Video.
- Ensure the correct camera (HP Wide Vision HD Camera) is selected.
- If it shows a black screen, try toggling HD or Mirror my video options.
Run HP Hardware Diagnostics
Use HP’s built-in diagnostics to test the camera:
- Restart your laptop and press Esc repeatedly, then F2 to open HP PC Hardware Diagnostics.
- Select Component Tests > Webcam Test.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
