I have Windows 8, when i click on the camera app on the start menu, it says "connect a camera" my webcam is built into my laptop, it used to connect straight away, but now it's not being detected. how can i fix this?

check on your manufacturers website for webcam drivers. Or if you put windows 8 on your laptop see if you can find drivers if the laptop is new enough if you can't use windows 8 drivers try windows 7 no luck there you might get lucky with vista driver no guarantee.
