No camera found on a brand new Mac Neo.

I have a new Mac Neo. Today I had the opportunity to participate in a video conference and no one could see on their end. The microphone was working fine but no video. I have spent most of today trying to correct this and nothing I have done has corrected this - reinstalling the latest operating system, doing a diagnostic check going through all the appropriate systems setting and nothing has worked. When I run a system report it says "No video capture devices were found." All Mac Neos are supposed to have installed cameras. Did I somehow get the only one without a camera? Can someone help me correct this

MacBook Neo 13″, macOS 26.6

Your MacBook Neo should have a built-in camera. 


Apple’s specifications for the 13-inch MacBook Neo list a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, alongside the A18 Pro chip. MacBook Neo Technical Specifications — Apple


The significant clue is the System Report message “No video capture devices were found.” 


This means macOS is not currently identifying a video-capture device. 


Since you have already reinstalled macOS, run diagnostics, and checked the relevant settings, I would next test the camera in Photo Booth or FaceTime.


Apple's troubleshooting guidance recommends checking camera permissions and other software settings and explains what to do if the built-in camera still does not  work. If the built-in camera isn’t working on your Mac — Apple Support


If neither Photo Booth nor FaceTime can access the camera and System Report continues to show “No video capture devices were found,” 


I would contact Apple Support or the retailer and provide them with that information. They can determine whether further diagnosis or service is necessary.


If you send me a screenshot of the System Report >> Camera section, I can take a closer look at exactly what macOS is reporting.


On your MacBook Neo running macOS 26.6, click  Apple menu >> About This Mac >> More Info… >> System Report….


In the System Information window that opens, look in the left-hand column under Hardware and select Camera.
