Camera is not working

I keep getting an error that "my camera might be covered". It is not. Further the error says that "I might need to slide a shutter near the camera, press a camera button on the keyboard or slide a camera switch on my device." There is not shutter or switch and there is no camera key on the keyboard. It is a Dell 14 plus.

Allan, I looked at Dell 14 Plus, it does have a super thin slider cover right there, one you can push left or right.

    Hi,

    Search for msinfo32.exe in the search bar, take a screenshot, and post it here so we can see the correct laptop model or desktop configuration.

    Do you have any third-party antivirus installed?

    Thanks
