Problem with Zoom finding my external camera

hello - i have a problem, zoom will not find my external webcam (using a sony a7iii). it only allows me to select the integrated laptop webcam. this problem only occurs on my laptop, i can use my webcam on my desktop no problem. The laptop is a dell latitude and is running up to date windows 11 and the version of zoom is the latest.

 

I have tried adding camera permissions to zoom in windows - but the only option there is to add permission for the laptop camera.

 

The cable I am using is good and works fine on my desktop. I have tried deleting and re installing zoom and checking for latest firmware for camera and zoom. Any ideas?

Does the laptop have webcam drivers for the A7III installed? Are you able to use the camera on this same laptop for other applications?
