I have a MSI MS-1551 A10M laptop with Ubuntu 22.04. I have had the internal webcam working before with Zoom / Cheese but now even after an upgrade to 22.04 Cheese says Device not found.

I have done a UEFI upgrade as well but to no avail.

There is nothing listed in /dev/video either. There are no /dev/video* folers.

I have tried the MSI Fn+F6 for toggling the webcam as well which used to work prior to an upgrade I did to Ubuntu. I hoped upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 and upgrading the BIOS would resolve it.

Any further suggestions would be great ! Thanks

Check for Camera, it could be locked. Unlock it by pressing Fn+F6 on your keyboard.

It happened with me too on my MSI laptop.

This might sound obvious but i can't add it to https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=216729&sid=24539c287d868a776028e5eaa0df72ce so here am i.

Press Fn + F6 BEFORE you launch the application. If the app is open it probably won't "unlock" you webcam.

(Probably bc the hw-initialisation process only runs on app-startup and not on "enable webcam button press")
