If your camera is not charging, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the issue. If you own a newer camera with a USB-C connection, make sure your power adapter is also USB-C compatible. Older cameras may require that you use a separate AC adapter. If your camera still does not charge, it may be time for a new battery or charger.

Check the Battery Indicator Light
The battery indicator light on canon cameras will show either a green or orange light while the camera is charging. If the light is green, the camera is currently charging, and if the light is orange, the camera is charging but is not yet fully charging.
Look for the Charging Icon on the LCD Screen
The Canon Camera will have a Charging Icon on the LCD Screen. When the Canon Camera is charging, the Charging Icon will be Green. When the Canon Camera is fully charged, the Charging Icon will be Blue.
The battery level in the camera menu is a good indicator of how much power the camera has left. If the battery level is low, the camera may not be charging. If the battery level is high, the camera is probably charging.
Use an External Battery Charger
In order to answer this question, one must first ascertain whether or not the camera is actually charging. There are a few methods that one can use in order to do this.
The first method would be to look at the battery meter on the camera. If the battery meter is displaying that the battery is fully charged, then the camera is charging.
The second method would be to look at the charging port on the camera. If the port is displaying a green light, then the camera is charging.
The third method would be to use an external battery charger. If the camera is charging using an external battery charger, then the camera is likely charging correctly.
Try a Different USB Port or Cable
If you’ve tried plugging the camera into a different USB port or using a different cable and the camera still won’t charge, it may be because the camera is defective and needs to be replaced. If you’re still having trouble charging the camera, it may be because the charger isn’t working properly. In either case, you’ll need to take the camera to a camera shop for diagnosis or replace the battery.
Conclusion
Canon cameras are usually charged with a USB cable. If you do not see a USB cable connected to the camera when you turn it on, the camera is not charging.
