Allow Zoom at the system level

Check the privacy shutter and camera key
Many laptops have a sliding cover over the camera, or a key on the top row (often with a crossed-out camera icon) that switches it off electrically. External webcams may have a lens cap.

Update Zoom
From your profile picture, choose Check for Updates.
