2024-09-12T09:23:50+00:00 Just bought a new HP 14-inch laptop. camera not working on Skype. I could see my sister; she couldn't see me. Learned after much research, the laptop has a little slide at the top of the screen just above the camera. Slid it to the right and camera works. It was simply covered.
