Hello,

I still have a problem with my webcam.

The PC is a LENOVO IdeaPad 3 15ADA05 Laptop - Type 81W1.

I have tried everything; all the help online and tests say it works.

However, when I view the front image that should show my face, it’s nothing.

There is an image of a padlock.

Where does that come from?

How do I unlock it?

Thank you.

Hello bazfile!

Thank you for your help.

Actually, you just had to press a button, on the first row of the keyboard.

The F8 key with an icon of a camera crossed out.

It was as simple as that!

Have a nice and beautiful day!

Hello @burgundywines StatutMembre.

If there's a padlock, it means that webcam access permission has not been granted; either it’s a setting to adjust in Windows or a setting to adjust in the antivirus settings allow webcam access.
