    Camera not working with Skype


    Hi All
    Lenovo ideapad 305 Windows 10 home 64 bit. All updates
    Last worked with Skype and Zoom back around June now does not work
    Camera can be seen working on Lenovo Vantage settings
    but skype just shows black screen
    Skype works with external USB camera
    PC Settings shows camera is on, apps can access camera, skype has access, desktop app web view has access
    Camera drivers are up to date. Camera does NOT appear in device manager
    Skype is latest version.

    Any clues as to what might be wrong?
    TFAI

    :)

    Skype for Business' access to camera

    Thanks, it worked!

    For anyone else having the same problem:
    When activating the aforementioned setting you should restart Skype for Business completely. Mine Skype for Business still did not get listed in the lower list, but the camera is now activated.

    Skype for Business' access to camera

    Hi,

    I have a new Huawei Matebook D14 with Windows 10 operating system. I have installed the Office-package and Skype for Business. In Windows' camera settings I can not activate the camera for Skype for Business, because Skype for Business is not listed as an alternative as an application to activate/deactivate. When I go to Skype for Business internal settings I get a message that says

    "We can not find a camera: If you already have one, open device management in Windows to control that it is installed and working" (my own translation from Norwegian to English).

    I have tried those basic tips and tricks. I have also tried to repair and reinstall Skype for Business.

    The basic Skype-version is also installed and is listed in the list of applications that can have the camera acitvated/deactivated. The camera works with the basic Skype-version itself.

    The problem seems to be that I do not have Skype for Business as an option inside Windows' settings for activating/deactivating the camera. Does anybody have a solution?
