Camera/ Cheese is not working in the Zorin OS 17th

Hi,

This is my main OS I am not using any other os (no dual booting). Ealier my camera is showing while installing zorin os. Tried Gcview also but nothing happens no device found. Here is the attached screenshot for cheese

Please open a terminal (Menu | Utilities | Terminal) and enter:

v4l2-ctl --list-devices

If the command is not finding the first part (not installed), then:

sudo apt install v4l-utils
v4l2-ctl --list-devices

And post back the results.

I got this output

$ v4l2-ctl --list-devices
Synaptics RMI4 Touch Sensor (rmi4:rmi4-00.fn54):
	/dev/v4l-touch0

Cannot open device /dev/video0, exiting.

I've tried to do searches as to why a different piece of hardware comes back following the list devices command. Cameras are usually designated as usb devices in the Linux kernel. Please open a terminal and enter:

lsusb

and post back the results please.

Here is the output
