How to recover your lost data, try Recoverit : bit.ly/3k1UXgs
Lenovo laptop integrated WebCam camera not working I was able to fix it by updating Windows 10 and updating WebCam driver

[@rebekahrose1664]

All I had to do was press the camera button on f8. I feel so dumb. Thank you so much

[@emarp2863]

You’re comment just helped me fix it after 3 years of being stupid

[@rebekahrose1664]

3 years...? Congrats on fixing it tho lol

[@Calum-mk5io]

thank god you wrote this haha thats a year of me not being able to use my webcam, youre a legend

[@gladyshopebullecer5935]

thank you!

[@ROSE-zh6zc]

You just have to pres f8?

[@sonjamontiel]

This was a life saver! I had to help my elder dad virtually, who is uncomfortable with technology. Your video was the answer. If only you could hear us cheering. Thank you!

[@rachelhatton9344]

My computer has a habit of doing this with the camera and it's now getting easier for me to remember how to do it each time. I don't know how I would survive without people like yourself making the effort to film what you've done. Thank you so much.

[@herrunsinn774]

02:33 Thank you Amer! I was experiencing the same camera fail as you. That is when I tried to run (for example) Zoom, the camera in the app showed and icon of a camera with a line drawn through it (just like you showed). I followed your instructions. At 02:33 you took me to the Lenovo app and the "Device/Display and Camera" menu item. When I scrolled down, I saw that "Camera Privacy Mode" was turned on. Apparently I had enabled that (turned off the camera) at some time in the past, just to keep anyone from "accidentally spying on me with my own camera). ... So I turned off that Privacy Mode (turning on the camera) and the camera then worked fine. Thanks again Amer!

[@shayonsmith]

I followed your exact steps, on a different model and it worked perfectly! Thanks so much.

[@patmiller9825]

Thank you! I only needed to get a third of the way into your video to get the help I needed to sort my camera (and this was after spending quite a bit of time online before finding your video). A simple click on one button on the screen was all that was needed. Thank you!

[@hughiejmack]

Thank you Amer, my daughter could not use her laptop for online classes because the camera was not working. Your vid helped me get this fixed... I am now a Super Dad!

[@djking3668]

Thank you! I thought I was going to have to buy a new laptop. I'm on virtual video conferences all day long and can't be without my camera. I downloaded updates and drivers and no luck. Turns out, the privacy setting must have gotten turned on during a recent update or something. Turned it off, and now it works just fine. Really appreciate you sharing the steps you went through to get it working!!!

[@prabhadarshan6216]

Thank you. This really worked. My son was struggling with his online classes and we could not fix it. Followed your instructions and it perfectly worked. Thank you again.

[@jyotiraj4677]

same here but follow video instruction perfectly and its worked

[@finanzastv888]

Thank you very much for the video!! Not being a tech savvy, I was worried about not knowing what to do to make my camera work. These were easy steps to follow.

[@unaestudiantedelavida9373]

Mr. Khaqan: After searching through different forums and following various advice, I was very excited to discover your video. You solved the problem in a few minutes! Thank you very much! :)

[@reneehayes2629]

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much! I’ve watched other videos and was told not to select the “delete the driver software from your device” box before selecting “uninstall.” I’m so glad that it worked. I’ve been trying to get my camera to work for over two hours! Thank you!!!! Namaste 🙏🏾

[@kokateapoorva]

This was a big help! Thank you, uninstalling and restarting solved the problem!

[@minniemousesvideos]

Thank you! Both my camera and microphone suddenly stopped working and I couldn't figure out why. Turns out Lenovo Vantage didn't have permission to use my microphone or camera and I just needed to enable that. Thank you for the quick and easy tutorial

[@CharmedBerry]

I was so worried as I needed the camera the next day for the online exam. Thank you so much for sharing the video I was able to fix it just right on time. Such a big help.

[@himanikadam]

Before uninstalling anything. Try this. Please. Check your function keys on the keyword. It probably has a function key if pressed the camera goes off. Happend with me. I didn't uninstall any integrated camera. For me, it was just I pressed f8 (for my keyboard) accidentally and it went off until I pressed it again. Uff!

[@edenfuego7537]

Worked for me too. Something tells me the uninstall just sets the camera back to default, which would include being on.
