Which notebook do you use?
The manufacturer has got drivers for special devices. Look after “webcam”.

#3

And telling what version of openSUSE you use and what desktop will also help your potential helpers.

To add to everybody else: If it is a notebook with a built in webcam, check if there’s a hardware switch or Fn key to activate the cam. My Lenovo X230i has such an Fn key…
