If you have the application Cheese loaded, you can try that. If not, see if the Distro you have loaded, has Cheese in their packages.

Here is some minimal information on the builtin Web Camera:

As you learn something more, (like another application), please feel free to improve the Pine64 Wiki for the Pinebook Pro. The Pinebook Pro Wiki has TONS of information. But, as usual, it may have some, (many?), places that can be improved.
