To turn on an HP webcam:
1. Go to QuickPlay (press the blue-lighted button above the F3 key (or next to the power button)).
2. When QuickPlay shows up, there is a row of six icons across the bottom of the screen: click on the second one from the left (the one with the photo-movie_reel-music_notes).
3. A window with three 'frames' shows up. On the left frame there are six items: the fifth one should say 'HP Webcam'. Click on it.
4. The webcam's blue LED light should now be turned on.
You can also use Skype, mailVU, YouTube, Facebook, etc and record webcam video.

Most probably the driver software for webcam is not installed on your system.
You must've got a DVD for installing drivers. Use that DVD and install the Webcam Driver software.
Still confused abouut what to do, just call the customer care and get the help.

I think you need to get some sort of software to use the web cam. Yawcam, for example is a fairly decent program to use that's free of charge. http://www.yawcam.com/
