Описание: Does your webcam work perfectly in the Windows Camera app, but shows a black screen or “camera not detected” in Zoom or Microsoft Teams?

✅ Fix 1: Check Windows camera permissions (allow Teams/Zoom)
✅ Fix 2: Select the correct camera inside Teams/Zoom
✅ Fix 3: Close apps that may be using the webcam (Discord/OBS/browser tabs)
✅ Fix 4: Restart PC (resets the camera service)
✅ Fix 5: If using browser meetings: allow browser camera permission
✅ Fix 6: Device Manager: update driver or disable/enable device
✅ Fix 7: Last resort: reinstall webcam driver
