Camera stopped working on MacBook Pro (2016)

I followed the reset SMC instructions for my model. It stopped working after a Zoom call last Friday. I've checked privacy sharing options, everything is checked where it should be. Very odd! Any help would be great.

camera on Macbook Pro doesn't work I have been using Zoom almost daily for meeting with students. Today, my camera no longer works and I am not given the choice of connecting with video. I simply get audio option and a black screen instead of appearing in my meeting in person. Audio works fine but no camera. Tried Photo booth. Same result, black screen. When I go to Photo booth the green light comes on for a couple seconds but then goes off. No other sign of life for the camera. Went through reboot and an attempt at resetting SMC. When I go to System Preferences/Security & Privacy/Privacy, the camera is not listed in the left hand menu as the directions describe. Advice?

Hi, I already did this troubleshooting as stated previously. It worked during a Zoom call on Wednesday but hasn't since. It's very odd.
