friends! Bear with me, I’m new to Linux, after being a MacBook Pro user for 15 years.

I recently purchased a Lenovo Legion 7i (16-inch, 9th gen) laptop and installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on it using instructions from the Ubuntu website. Ubuntu is my sole operating system, I removed Windows.

My problem is the webcam won’t work. Whenever I try to use the webcam on applications like Zoom, the integrated camera does get recognized and audio gets recorded but records/captures a black screen.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far to address the problem:

1. Fixing the permissions by running:

   sudo chown root:video /dev/video*

   sudo chmod 666 /dev/video*

2. Installing Cheese via the App Center.
3. Going to BIOS and seeing if there’s an option to enable/disable the camera (there isn’t).
4. Going to system settings and seeing if there’s an option to enable/disable the camera or interact with the camera in any way (there isn’t).
5. Trying to update all my software and firmware.

What solution have I missed?
