Windows hello face id

[Yazi]

I have the hp envy 13 core i7 10th gen.

When I go into sign in settings and I try to add my face id it says:

When I click learn more though it doesn't tell me why the camera isn't compatible.

Please, someone, tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it or inform me if my laptop model does not have a compatible camera.

Thanks, Yazi.

I had a photo but it didn't work so it actually said: we couldn't find a compatible camera with windows hello face
