Well, in the bottom-left hand corner of the keyboard should be Fn (Function), hold that and look along your F bar at the top of your keyboard, you will see under names like F1, F2....etc. you see a blue symbol, look along to find the webcam symbol and press the button. It should enable it, or look in the laptop box for a code to activate it or under your laptop (on the back). ;)
