Short Answer
There are nearly 190 models in the EliteBook 850 G1 series.
Webcam is optional on the Series.
Adding a built-in webcam is perhaps impossible, and if possible, is likely expensive, and requires at least a moderate skill set. Instead, consider purchasing an "add on" webcam from your favorite online merchant in your region. Prices range from quite reasonable to more expensive.
Longer Answer
If you provide the model / product number we can check whether that model includes the webcam / camera option.
For example, Product E3W16UA
Integrated Camera | 720p HD webcam |
NOTE:
A webcam of this type (720p) is not suitable for using with Windows Hello which does require a high-grade IR camera. Reference: Microsoft - Learn about Windows Hello and set it up
