My HP victus 15 is not detecting the camera

Whenever I open the default camera app that came with the distro it is showing that camera is not detected.

Hello and welcome,
Do you have dual boot ?
If non disable Secure boot in BIOS
If yes disable fast startup in Windows Power Settings

I dont have dual boot and secure boot is disabled but still it is not detecting it

try uninstalling camera app then reinstalling it

I have tried it no improvement and I have checked using OBS studio but no use

Try this and reboot

sudo usermod -aG video $USER

Wecome to the Forum!

Could You type in Terminal lsusb and post the Output here please?


I tried it but no improvement

Did You tried a different Camera Program?

I used the default camera app, cheese and OBS studio but it is not working

Try this

lsmod | grep uvc

If nothing appears, load it:

sudo modprobe uvcvideo

Then test again

It is showing like this

Give me the output of

ls -la /dev/video*

OK try that

sudo usermod -aG video $USER
groups $USER

and launch the app


No difference

try to reboot, we will see after

i rebooted it and checked bro but no difference

try this

sudo rmmod uvcvideo
sudo modprobe uvcvideo
