How to Turn ON or OFF Camera on MSI Laptop on Windows 11 (Best Method)
0The best and most direct method to turn your camera on or off on an MSI laptop running Windows 11 is by using the dedicated function key on your keyboard.
1. Use the Keyboard Shortcut (Best Method)
MSI laptops have a built-in function key that acts as a hardware switch for the camera. This is the fastest way to ensure the camera is on or off, as it overrides software settings.
Look for the "F" key on the top row of your keyboard that has a camera icon on it. This is typically the F4 or F6 key, but can vary by model.
Hold down the Fn (Function) key, and then press the camera key simultaneously.
A notification should appear on your screen, indicating that the camera has been enabled or disabled. When the camera is on, a small LED light next to the camera lens may also illuminate.
2. Check Windows 11 Privacy Settings
If the keyboard shortcut doesn't work, the camera may be blocked by Windows 11's privacy settings.
Open Settings by pressing the Windows Key + I.
In the left-hand menu, select "Privacy & security."
Scroll down to the "App permissions" section and click on "Camera."
Ensure that "Camera access" is toggled On.
Also, make sure that "Let apps access your camera" is toggled On, and then check the individual apps below to ensure the one you want to use has access.
3. Use MSI Center or Dragon Center
Some MSI models have a camera toggle within the pre-installed MSI software.
Open the MSI Center or Dragon Center application.
Navigate to the Features or General Settings section.
Look for a camera switch and ensure it is enabled.
For most users, the keyboard shortcut is all you will ever need to control the camera. The other methods are useful for troubleshooting if the shortcut key isn't working as expected.
