Lenovo IdeaPad S340 Camera Not Working

So, I have an IdeaPad S145, it's about a year old but I don't use it very often. I just started trying to use it with Hangouts or Skype or even Zoom because as we all know, this social distancing thing sucks. My camera wasn't working, I don't know if it
was because of an update or if it never worked up to this point. I was pulling my hair out researching Lenovo forums, Microsoft, Google... You name the site, I was looking for answers.

I'll get to the point. I solved the issue with some stupid option deep in the settings. Navigate to > PC Settings > Gaming > Broadcasting, Scroll down in the page to Camera and turn on the tab that says; "Use camera when I broadcast".

You can test the camera right there. Good luck, I hope this fixes your problem.

 

Camera not working on Lenovo Ideapad S340

Hello LynnM

My name is Gabriel S.

I hope I can help you.

These camera classes always have a problem, we will try to solve it together.

Follow these steps:

The first solution for the Lenovo webcam not working is Lenovo's own app. Press the F8 key on your laptop keyboard. This is the key to enable or disable Lenovo EasyCamera. If that doesn't work, move on to the next solution.

Type new in the Windows search box and select Lenovo Settings.

Select Camera and scroll to Privacy Mode.

Activate and deactivate privacy mode.

Try your camera again.
