MacBook Pro 2017 (13-inch) camera doesn't work

I bought this MacBook Pro back in the Spring of 2018. I did not have much use for the camera until recently, when I have been trying to FaceTime and Zoom somer friends. To my surprise, in every app I try to use the camera, it says that there is no camera available. I have tried an SMC reset and I've tried resetting the camera with the terminal but nothing has worked. I think it might be a hardware issue because "internal camera" has never been an option in any app, I can't find the camera in the activity monitor, and the commands in Terminal ("sudo killall VDCAssistant" and "sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant") just return a message that reads "No matching processes were found".

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14
