The same image is seen with all applications.
Solution
This issue appears to be a bug with the Lenovo software – where the camera’s “privacy mode” is enabled by default.
Solution 1: Check for a lens cover
- Look for where your camera is on the laptop – usually this is above the monitor on the frame
- Check if it has a lens cover and whether it is closed
- These are usually a small plastic strip that slides over
Solution 2: Enable using keyboard button
- Look on the laptop keyboard for a camera icon – this is usually around F8
- Press the key to see if it enables the camera
- If it doesn’t – try holding the ‘Fn’ key and the camera key
Solution 3: Enable using Lenovo Vantage app
To re-enable the camera:
- Open the Windows start menu, and type ‘Lenovo Vantage’ and open it (if you do not have Lenovo Vantage installed you can find it on the Windows App Store).
- Click on the menu icon at the top right and then click on ‘My Device Settings’
- At the top of the page, click on ‘Display & Camera’
- Scroll down until the ‘Camera’ section
- Set ‘Camera Privacy Mode’ to ‘OFF’
