  1. Allow Messenger to use my camera and mic


    I can not use messenger on my laptop as it does not recognize the camera and mic. I am in settings, privacy, camera but Messenger is not listed as one of the apps that can use my camera. I do not see how I can add that to the list. It's the same for microphone - no place to add Messenger.


    I can only use Messenger on my cell phone to chat with camera.


    Any suggestions to resolve my problem would be appreciated.

    Facebook messenger won't access camera or microphone

    Do not need that screenshot. You need to physically boot into the bios when you power on the machine and check to see if there are settings to disable the mic and camera.

    Hi,

    Normally, the issue with the camera not being detected is caused by an outdated driver or a recent update triggers a system conflict. To assist you with your concern, we suggest that you follow the steps listed on this
    link. This is to identify and resolve any issues if Windows
    can't detect the device.

    Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.

    Facebook messenger won't access camera or microphone

    I have checked the settings and it shows allowing Facebook access to the mic and camera. I have trashed that multiple times and it will re-allow it but no access still.
