    Hi xChuckie

    Check if your webcam is on

    Add Imaging Devices Manually

    1. Hold the Windows Key and Press R.
    2. Type hdwwiz.cpl and Click OK
    3. Click Action and choose Add Legacy Hardware

    4. Click Next, and choose “Install the hardware that i manually select from the list” and click Next, scroll down to choose Imaging Devices and Click Next.

    5. Locate the missing device through the manufacturer’s tab and add it.

    xChuckie try this web site https://webcamtests.com/ (please click on test my cam if your cam is detected and allow access when prompted).

    If you don't get any image or camera detected then try re-installing the driver with Driver Booster app/software or you can try re-installing the O.S. from factory defaults and see if the driver gets automatically re-installed Re-install with Alt-F10 here, last option will be contacting your local Acer support to have the unit sent for repair here.

    It is inadvisable and unnecessary to use a 3rd party Driver app. Many problems have been posted here because of these 3rd party app installing incorrect drivers. Device manager and the hardware manufacturer have the correct drivers, it may take a little more work but it is far safer

    I know you didn't use a 3rd party, that comment was to make sure that you didn't.
    You could contact Acer support for your region

    I am having this same issue, however when trying to add the device the only imaging devices that show up are listed under Microsoft and they are all printers or scanners. Integrated camera isn't an option. I have also noticed that my built in microphone array no longer works.
