Camera not found.

I just got a brand new MacBook Pro 2019 but I can't get the camera to work for some reason. All the apps that use the camera say there's no camera connected. I've tried clearing SMC and checked Screen Time. Please can anyone help me out?

MacBook Pro 2017 (13-inch) camera doesn't work I bought this MacBook Pro back in the Spring of 2018. I did not have much use for the camera until recently, when I have been trying to FaceTime and Zoom somer friends. To my surprise, in every app I try to use the camera, it says that there is no camera available. I have tried an SMC reset and I've tried resetting the camera with the terminal but nothing has worked. I think it might be a hardware issue because "internal camera" has never been an option in any app, I can't find the camera in the activity monitor, and the commands in Terminal ("sudo killall VDCAssistant" and "sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant") just return a message that reads "No matching processes were found".
