Hello everyone! I am getting errors when  I am going to add a face lock on my laptop, I'm using an HP ProBook 430 G1. I have a camera built on my laptop but it says, "We couldn't find a camera compatible with Windows Hello
Face"

Welcome to the HP Community --

 

I'm sorry - it won't work.

 

Facial Recognition - "Hello Face" - requires an IR type camera.

 

This older system has the standard camera / webcam.
