  1. Microsoft Webcam Lifecam HD 3000


    I have a HD 3000 webcam that was brilliant when running under Windows 7. Now that I have to use Windows10, it will not work. The sound is OK and operates in a conference call and although I can see what the camera is seeing on my monitor, it will not work across the internet in a Microsoft Teams meeting.


    I have searched for a Windows 10 driver but cannot find one. I have deleted the driver and let the PC find the appropriate driver and it has ruined and pixolated the image. Further searching resulted in me getting a message that the camera is not compatible with Windows 10.


    As the camera is a Microsoft product, the OS is Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Teams is a Microsoft product, please tell me how I can get this working. I have limited IT knowledge so I hope it's a simple fix!


    Thank you.

    :)

    When will software and drivers be available for the Microsoft Lifecam HD-3000 webcam? If they are not available why aren't they?

    Can I install it on my new W10 desktop computer and will it work if the software/drivers are not available from Microsoft?

    Hi,

    • When was the last time you were able to use the Camera application without encountering any problem?
    - I was able to use the camera app before I installed the Lifecam HD-3000 webcam.

    - It was installed on January 29, 2017.

    - I can use Lifecam HD-3000 with Skype, Viber, and Messenger with no problem.

    - It just doesn't work on my computer's Camera app.

    • Did you make any changes to your computer's configuration prior to the issue?
    - I didn't make any changes to my computer's configuration prior to this issue.

    - I followed the steps you provided below and nothing changed. I still cannot use it on my Camera app.

    My PC information:

    - Model: Alienware Aurora R5

    - Edition: Windows 10 Home

    - Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz

    - Installed RAM: 16.0 GB

    - System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

    Please follow these steps:

    1. Open "Device Manager".

    2. Expand "Imaging devices".

    3. Locate the name of your "Lifecam HD 3000 camera" in the list and right-click on it.

    4. Select Update Driver Software.

    5. Click Browse my computer for driver software.

    6. Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

    7. Check Show compatible hardware, and then select "USB Video Device".

    8. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to update the driver.

    Please let me know if the above solution helps you to solve the problem.
