Hi @RezaNajafzade,


Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.


Sorry for the inconvenience caused don’t worry let me help you.

To better understand the issue, could you please provide a few more details?

 

  • When did the webcam stop working was it after a Windows update, driver installation, or suddenly without any changes?
  • Do you see the webcam listed in Device Manager under “Cameras” or “Imaging Devices”?
  • Are you receiving any error messages when trying to use the camera in apps like Zoom, Teams, or the Windows Camera app?
  • Have you tried the webcam with multiple applications, and does it fail across all of them?

In the meantime, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Check Privacy Settings
    • Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera and make sure camera access is enabled for apps.
  2. Device Manager Refresh
    • Press Win + X > Device Manager.
    • Expand “Cameras” or “Imaging Devices.”
    • If your webcam is listed, right-click and select Uninstall device, then restart your laptop. Windows should reinstall the driver automatically.
  3. Update Drivers
    • Open HP Support Assistant and check for driver updates, especially for the webcam and chipset.
    • Alternatively, visit the HP OMEN Transcend 14t support page and download the latest drivers.
  4. Test in HP Hardware Diagnostics
    • Restart your laptop and press F2 to enter HP PC Hardware Diagnostics.
    • Run the Component Test > Webcam to verify hardware functionality.

I hope this helps.
