HP ZBook Studio G10 Camera Shutter Guide | Generated by AI
Just to make sure I understand your context correctly: You’re asking about the HP ZBook Studio G10 and how its camera shutter button affects Zoom (or video conferencing apps) when pressed, especially with the Fn + Shutter key combination.
Here’s how it works on the ZBook Studio G10:
-
Camera Shutter Button:
The ZBook Studio G10 has a physical camera shutter key (it may be a key on the keyboard with a camera icon and a slash through it). Pressing this will electronically disable or obstruct the camera, which means apps like Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet immediately lose access to the video feed (your camera will show as “off”). - Fn + Shutter Combination:
On HP laptops, some function-row keys serve dual purposes. If the camera shutter key is part of the top row (F8/F10/F12 depending on model), pressing it alone may toggle the shutter. If your function row defaults to multimedia actions, you may need to hold Fn + Shutter instead.- Example: Pressing Shutter (or Fn + Shutter) toggles the webcam—Zoom will stop showing video if the shutter is engaged.
- When you press it again, the shutter reopens, and Zoom (or any app) can use your camera again.
- Impact Inside Zoom:
- If the shutter is closed: Zoom will just show a black screen or your profile picture, even if you have video enabled.
- If the shutter is open: Zoom will pick up your video normally.
- Toggling the shutter is essentially a hardware privacy control—it does not depend on Zoom, it overrides it.
🔹 Summary:
On the ZBook Studio G10, clicking the shutter button (with or without the Fn modifier depending on your settings) disables or enables the webcam at the hardware/firmware level. In Zoom, you’ll see your video feed immediately cut off when shut, and it will be restored once reopened.
👉 Do you want me to also explain how to change the function-key behavior (so you don’t have to press Fn each time on the ZBook Studio G10)?
