Both my husband and I have Lenovo laptops (S340-15IIL Touch Laptop (ideapad) - Type 81WW and IdeaPad 5i) and after the latest windows update our integrated cameras do not work in any apps or programs. We have tried all the troubleshooting, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, F8, etc.
When we view the camera in settings it has a solid gray box (the indicator light shows next to the camera showing it is in use). Also have tried the Camera app and experience the same gray box. Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix?

Dear Nicole,
I've been dealing with the same issue. After months updating and reading. I resolved it. There is a thin scratched line part just under the bezel and above the camera. with your nail, push it smoothly to the right, then its light will become white if you have launched windows camera app, you should see something instantly!! I found it with my phone flashlight, it is a super thin plastic cover.
My daughter asked me several times to check it out, and I insisted that it was opened because the camera light was on...but the shutter was closed...
Maybe you should check the shutter moving it back and forth.
The best for you!

I have solved my issue by uninstalled the Lenovo View software. It always try to take over the camera from Teams, Zoom and also Google Meet.
