Hi @joedam,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.  


Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

If your laptop has a dedicated quick button for the camera, you can follow these general steps to enable the camera.

 

  • Check the User Manual: Consult your laptop's user manual. It often contains specific instructions on how to use the built-in features, including the camera.
  • Look for a Camera Icon on the Quick Button: The quick button for the camera is usually represented by a camera icon. Press this button to activate the camera.
  • Use Function Keys: Some laptops use function keys (F1, F2, etc.) with secondary functions. Look for a key with a camera icon or a function key that has a camera-related symbol. You may need to press the "Fn" key in combination with the appropriate function key.
  • Check Software Settings: Ensure that the camera is not disabled in the operating system settings. For Windows, you can do this by going to "Settings" > "Privacy" > "Camera" and making sure the toggle switch is turned on. In some cases, you may need to install or update camera drivers.
  • Update Drivers: Ensure your camera drivers are up to date. You can do this through the Device Manager on Windows. Right-click on the Start button, select "Device Manager," find the camera under "Imaging devices" or "Cameras," right-click on it, and choose "Update driver."

 

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
