    How do I make the Camera app stop requiring microphone access?


    I'm running Windows 11 64-bit and recently, as in the past few days, it started blocking my use of the Windows Camera app unless I allow Microphone access. My camera is built in to my laptop. I will not allow the app to have access to my Microphone, period, I don't want it or need it. Is there a way work around this via registry or similar? Or can anyone recommend a third-party app that accesses the built in camera?Thank you in advance for any advice!

    :)

    Camera and Microphone Privacy

    Hi Moustafa,

    This issue occurs due to permission issue, driver issue, license for an app is out of sync with the license installed on the computer or if the app is not updated. To give permission to Camera and Microphone app, you may follow
    these steps:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Select Privacy.
    • Look for Camera, make sure that “Let apps use my camera” is turned On. You may choose the apps that can use your camera as well.
    • Go back to Privacy and select Microphone, make sure that “Let apps use my microphone” is turned On. You may choose the apps that can use your microphone as well.

    If the issue persists, we would suggest that you check out this

    camera and microphone access to messenger

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    I understand the issue you have, nothing to worry I am here to help, for you to allow Microphone access if you are using the Messenger app follow the steps below:

    Go to Settings> Privacy> Microphone> Scroll down and turn on the messenger on the list

    For Camera: Go to Settings> Privacy> Camera> Scroll down and turn on the messenger on the list

    If you are using Microsoft Edge, kindly paste this link:

    edge://settings/content/microphone

    To allow the Microphone

    For Camera:

    edge://settings/content/camera

    Let me know how does it go and I hope that helps.
