built-in camera not turning on

My camera has not been able to be turned on, even after trying all the tips from apple-support page ... no light, no connection even though camera has been enabled and allowed apps for connexion(FaceTime, Photo Booth, zoom...etc) . What's the problem then? MacBook Air from nov. 2020 software regularly updated

MacBook Pro (2018) Camera stopped working Whenever I start a app that uses the video camera (e.g. QuickTime, FaceTime, Photo Booth) the app shows a black screen where the video should appear. On startup of the app, the light indicator of the camera turns on for a few seconds (although no video seems to be captured). I already tried everything outlined here: If the built-in camera isn’t working on your Mac - Apple Support Any advice on how to fix this? Thanks and Best

Camera on macbook pro not working My camera on my MacBook Pro 2019 w/ Touch Bar is not working with any of the apps (zoom, FaceTime, Photo Booth, etc) and the green light doesn't turn on. Also, in the system's report it says "no video capture devices were found". I've tried almost everything that other websites suggested like using terminal, reseting SMC and others but the problem is still occurring. I need the camera for some of my online classes so if someone could please help that would be great.
