I have High Sierra 10.13.6 and suddenly I cannot use my camera.

I have High Sierra 10.13.6 and suddenly I cannot use my camera. It looks like all mention of a camera is no longer to be found except that I get a notification that no camera is detected. I just downloaded Zoom for a family conference. Could that be a problem? I recently used it on Facebook messaging.
