Zoom can not detect Camera

I have been using Zoom for months. Today the camera on my end was not working. My camera is ON and the message comes up 'Zoom can not detect camera' 

Anyone have any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem and I'm relatively certain it's on Zoom's end.  The camera worked fine when I initially installed Zoom.  Now, several months later, it doesn't detect the camera.  I've gone through all the same attempts as others here, i.e., downloaded updates, uninstalled and reinstalled Zoom, rebooted my PC... nothing worked.  I know that my camera works as I have used it on Microsoft Teams and Skype meetings as recently as yesterday.  I am only having this camera issue with Zoom.

    I am also having this problem. My computer says my camera is up to date. I do not find anyway to update my zoom but this zoom account is new. Also generally my camera works fine in the laptop. One time when it didn't work, the camera on the computer wasn't working, but since then the camera works fine while I'm on zoom but zoom is not detecting the camera. This is frustrating because I use this for both professional and personal conversation.

    I will just add that when I plug in a USB camera, amazingly zoom then picks up my laptop camera....that is very strange.
