I just upgraded to 20.04 and my camera still does not work. As title says, the Webcam is not detected, also there is no /dev/video*. I am using a HP ENVY13. I tried many solutions from previous posts (most are similar to this Integrated webcam not detected after update to 14.04), and nothing worked so far. I tried the camera key (f4 in my case), reinstalling cheese, reinstalling uvcvideo and nothing.
Here is some initial input:

I have no idea how to go from here. Any ideas? Thanks!
I also ran into an issue where the integrated webcam was not detected (no /dev/video*), and tried the answers in the post you linked. My work laptop does not have that button, but there is a BIOS setting to enable the camera, which was off.
I restarted and entered Bios Setup (F12) and for me the setting was under:
System Configuration > Miscellaneous Devices > Enable Camera
I didn't know this option even existed, might be something to check on your system.
