My integrated camera has always worked fine, but recently has somehow been disabled. I haven't altered any settings. In the privacy and security settings, the camera access button is greyed, and can't be turned on. There's an information note saying " some of these settings are managed by your organization"
I don't have an organization. I'm just a home user, and nobody else has access to my laptop. I haven't been able to use my laptop for any Zoom meetings, and I can't find any way to turn the camera back on.

    Hello Sharon,

    Check using option 10 or 11 in the tutorial below to see if camera access may have been disable by policy, and you can enable it again if so.
