I have a five year old HP Pavilion Gaming 17-cd1014na laptop running
Windows 10 (with extended support)
The built in webcam no longer works in Zoom etc.
Camera no longer appears in Settings-Devices.
How do I reinstall the correct driver?
The HP web site was unhelpful as it doesn't appear to list a webcam driver.
Thanks
A man walked into a car showroom.
He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
The man replied, “You have now mate".

You don't usually need drivers for webcams.From the user manual: "To turn off your camera, slide the camera privacy switch toward the icon next to the
switch. To turn the camera back on, slide the switch away from the icon"

If it's not appearing in device settings at all it's
A) come unplugged inside the lid
b) failed
C) turned off in the BIOS

Try F4 or Fn+F4.0

Thanks for the responses.
Yesterday the webcam started working again. Hopefully it will stay like that.
F4 is for multiple screens on my laptop. I can't see a camera function key.A man walked into a car showroom.
