 For this page, the search edit box is wrapped within a search landmark, the navigation elements on the left are wrapped within a navigation landmark, and the main content on the right is wrapped within a main content landmark.
 
 Within the navigation landmark there is a main group heading called **Ease of Access** (heading level 1) with sub-options of **Vision**, **Hearing**, and so on (heading level 2). Within the main content, **Display** is set to heading level 1 with sub-groups such as **Make everything bigger** set to heading level 2.

 ## The camera settings URL
 
-Starting with Windows 11, Build 22000, the URI `ms-settings:camera` launches the Windows Settings app and navigates to the camera settings page. Note that in previous versions of Windows, this same URI would launch the default camera application. In addition to the general camera settings page, you can append the query string parameter `cameraId` set to the symbolic link name, in escaped URI format, to launch directly to the settings page for the associated camera.

Next, [LaunchUriAsync](/uwp/api/windows.system.launcher.launchuriasync) is called to launch the Windows Settings app. The `ms-settings:camera` Uri specifies that the camera settings page should be shown.
