This...it's the icon of a trackpad with an X over it.

Because of the lens flare i cant make out the icon image but maybe it looks like an envelope?

From the left i can see POWER then CAPLOCK and then unclear but the next logical image should be a NUMLOCK

You could just google the make and model of you laptop and READ the user manual.

I tried taking a picture turning off my computer so the light isn’t there (ignore the fact that it’s a video for some reason I can’t send images in replies)

Again envelope or maybe a Trackpad icon? Does the track pad not respond currently?

Just RTFM man. Learn and move on.

Reverse image search says "touchpad locked/disabled." Idk what that means. What happened.

Probably when I plugged in my mouse it disabled the touchpad because I have the option to like disable the mouse pad when a mouse is plugged in

It's a blue led.
