To turn on the webcam light of a Fujitsu laptop, you typically need to launch a video conferencing application or camera software that utilizes the webcam, such as Zoom, Skype, or the built-in Camera app. The webcam light will automatically activate when the camera is in use. If you need to check the webcam's functionality, you can also access the Device Manager to ensure the webcam is enabled and installed correctly. If the light doesn't turn on, there may be an issue with the webcam driver or hardware.
