Participant can’t get her video to work in our meeting. The video icon on bottom left in the her meeting screen showed it was on but in the meeting she was represented with a schematic icon of a camera with a slash through it. How does she get her camera to work? She has an HP computer and the camera light is on. I’m running the meeting on my Apple MacBook and have the latest zoom workbook app.

    Hello,

    A camera icon with a slash on an HP computer usually means the webcam is disabled via a physical shutter, a keyboard shortcut, or privacy settings. Check the lens at the top of your screen for a slider, press the camera function key on your top keyboard row (often F9, F10, or Fn + key), or check Windows privacy settings.
