How do I turn on my built-in camera on my Mac desktop-Big Sur? On Zoom, my camera is not working.

I am having trouble turning on my built-in camera on my Mac desktop Big Sur. How do I turn my camera on? I did try going to privacy and there was no camera listing.

Thank you for your response. I followed your directions. I know that my camera is turned off. When I went into Privacy and Settings and then Privacy, the word Camera does not show up on the left side as shown above. How can I get camera on that list? Thank you.
