      To start and clarify, this IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook does come with an HD camera with a Privacy Shutter. Out-of-the-box you may find a graphic covering the camera area, but with this removed, you should be able to us your camera and the privacy shutter.

      If the graphic is removed but you are still having trouble with your camera, please attempt to do a hardware reset. To learn how to do so, please visit the following link to a Google Support webpage with details: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3227606?hl=en&sjid=11168473644130281663-NA, which the process will reboot the embedded controller that manages various system components, including the camera.

      With the privacy shutter, please be sure the Privacy Shutter is completely open before trying to use the webcam or the webcam will not operate. There is a small slider, directly above the webcam lens. Move the tab to the right to open the Privacy Shutter. There is a red dot over the webcam lens that will disappear when the Privacy Shutter is fully open. This will indicate that the webcam is really to use. You can close the Privacy Shutter when you are done with the webcam for your security, by sliding the tab to the left to close the Privacy Shutter. The Red Dot will appear over the webcam lens when the Privacy Shutter is closed.

    Worst tech ever! I rather use my android tablet, it does way more then this Chromebook. I am totally disappointed with this brand as well. I keep having to power wash the thing, the function keep lagging and it feels like it is being controlled by another device. I enter the correct password to the wifi and it is telling me it is incorrect, as well as my google account password. This device is a hot mess! Can I get my money back?

    I purchased this device for my daughter to use for school. She used the device for approximately 3 months before it went black and stopped working! We were well within the manufactor's warranty and they DENIED to fix it and shared that it wasnt covered under the "limited warranty" and told me it would cost 150$ to repair it. It will not turn on. Buyer beware!

    I got this for my stepdaughter for Christmas since she needed a Chromebook for school anyway. I understand why the price was and is what it is. It's laggy, it has connectivity issues, and the feel of the laptop all around is cheap. She has problems when using it and hardly uses it unless she MUST. That's not a gift I'm proud to say I bought her.
