Linux found the camera, but there is no application to display the video. I tried to access the BIOS, but it asks for a password and I never got access. I tried the default passwords, but they didn't work. I tried installing Cheese, VLC and MPV, but the camera was not found in any of them.
Help me please I need to turn on the camera in meetings

Okay, so the Programs are all installed. And when You open Cheese for Example, do you see simply nothing or do You get any Error Messages?
And because I see it: You are on Zorin 16, yes? If yes: Don't forget that the Support will end at the End of May.
Interesting. Usually built-in webcam's are usually on usb bus. What do you get when you enter:

yes I have zorin 16.3, I didn't know that support was ending, thank you
Back to Basics. What is the make and model of the computer?
Hmm ... Okay, let's try this: I don't know if it is avialable in Zorin 16 but there is a Program called Webcamoid:
Another Option - if available - would be Snapshot:
Try these and check if one of this (or both) work.
