Try using guvcview and see what happens when you select either /dev/video0 or /dev/video1. The laptop has hardware key to toggle the webcam, though. Might want to press that once before doing anything else.

sorry to be a bother again i do not understand what i should do with the link i probed my device its says that the command is not found but i think it is showing my device i need my camera working or i am not able to give my presentation
According to page 3 of the manual https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/ideapad320-14iap_320-15iap_320-14ast_320-15ast_320-15abr_320-15abrtouch_ug_en_201705.pdf?linkTrack=PSP:ProductInfo:UserGuide F8 is the ‘hotkey’ for your device.
However, on the bottom it states:
“Note: If you changed the Hotkey Mode from Enabled to Disabled in the BIOS setup utility you will need to press the Fn key in combination with the appropriate hotkey”
Maybe this ‘Hotkey Mode’ is set ‘Enabled’ in Bios but isn’t working under linux? Try setting it to ‘Disabled’ in your BIOS, then restart and try activating the webcam via Fn+F8.
Forum rules is that you shouldn’t bump a 7months old topic - unresolved topic - even if you are experiencing the same issue - the OP and participants of the bumped topic will get notified - there is a reason it is unresolved.
Sorry about that - I was interupted and didn’t finish my comment.
The camera should be supported but from the search it appears there is a lot of issues with the camera it seems flaky.
When the output lists video output devices the reason could be as @6x12 points out - the hardware key is likely locking the camera.
