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?

    This is not working for me at all even after installing the driver mentioned above. For me, it keeps blinking and does not work at all. The manufacturer said it is the issue with Windows 11 as it works fine whenever I downgrade to Windows 10.

    I am really seeking help from the Microsoft concern team as I am unable to use my integrated cam anymore. I am using Lenovo Ideapad S340.

    WOW! I have spent at least 6 hours trying to find an answer to this problem. Lenovo should have exposed this more clearly. Bless you!

    OMG. THANK YOU. I had no idea there was a privacy slider for the webcam (now I understand why the camera "hole" looked reddish -- it's because the privacy slider was engaged. It's an extremely tiny slider just above the camera "hole". Must have hit that by accident at some point. Perfect suggestions.

    Thank you so much! Tried every possible way and It did not work. Even I asked If there is any cap user said no. After seeing your solution I tried the same thing and It worked.
