I have several meetings that use zoom to connect. This would not be a problem except that Zoom refuses to initialize my camera. No matter what I do, the camera stays off. In settings it accesses it fine but not in zoom, one post I read said to change the camera settings in Zoom to foundation, I have done this and still no results. Should I just break down and get a better web cam or is there a way to fix this one?
TIA

Since you have not given the actual hardware one can only guess.
1. Make sure the camera is selected in settings > video and effects > camera.
2. With Zoom closed check the camera using Windows camera app.
3. Make sure you are using latest version - currently 6.5.0
