Camera is an indispensable equipment when you use  laptop . With the convenience of built-in cameras, they are increasingly improved. However, there are many different reasons why the camera sometimes cannot work as intended. Don't worry, try these 5 tips to  fix camera errors on your laptop right  away.

1. Check the app's camera status

If you are using a video call application or meeting online but the camera is not working. Find out the app's camera status. If the camera is disabled, please turn it back on.

2. Grant access to the app's camera

Privacy is enhanced, and Windows 10 gives you full control over what applications require. Please check if you have given permission to the camera to work, if not, the camera will not be able to turn on in the application.

Go to  Settings > Privacy.

Scroll down to  Camera > Enable Allow apps to access your camera.

Finally, you scroll down below to  enable camera access for the application.

3. Update the camera driver

Driver is a file that helps Windows to control computer components. It is possible that the camera driver on your computer is old and has problems while controlling Windows, so you need to update to a newer driver.

First, you have to right-click the Start button  > Device Manager.

The Device Manager window appears, select  Cameras > Integrated Camera > Right-click and select Update driver.

4. Disable disable camera in Device Manager

There is a nice feature available in Windows that you often forget is disabling the camera in Device Manager. Many laptops will have features such as blocking the camera with its software.

you access the Device Manager window again  > Cameras > Integrated Camera > Enable Enable.

In addition, on the Lenovo computer I am using, there is the Lenovo Vanted application  . Next, select  Display & Camera.

Then,  turn off the Camera Privacy Mode feature.

5. Block Camera with Hardware

If you use many laptops, there will be a horizontal slider to cover the camera on the laptop, especially business models. Please check if you have accidentally pulled the camera bar back and open it again.

Or like Huawei's laptop line, you can let it pop up on the keyboard.
