Zoom camera not working

Every time I join a zoom meeting the video does not work. I am using a Dell laptop and have never had any problems before, but when I turn on my camera it just shows a black screen with a camera and slash through it. I've seen some other posts with the same issue, but none of the solutions worked for me. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @nasonh03, can you try switching to different Video Capturing Methods under Zoom settings -> Video -> Advanced to see if it helps?
