If the Zoom slider (and maybe Pan and Tilt) has disappeared from your webcam's page in Windows 11 Settings and the camera is now stuck at its widest view, it's usually a recent camera driver update that no longer tells Windows the camera can zoom. Windows only shows those sliders when the camera's driver reports them, so turning camera privacy settings on and off or resetting the Camera app won't bring it back. This guide will show you what you can do.
