  1. How do I unblock Zoom app access to my webcam?


    I was running a Zoom app meeting from my Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series laptop last night. There is an annoying green dialog box "Zoom is using webcam" at the top of the screen. I clicked on it and then meant to click "Hide Notification" but by mistake hit "Block Application access to webcam". My screen went black instead of showing the camera view. How do I unblock the access?

    :)

    Re CAMERA connect for Zoom meetings

    How do I get the ZOOM app onto the Privacy access list?

    I'm not having any luck in unblocking the camera. I can see and hear at Zoom meetings, but not seen.

    Does Zoom need Windows permission? How do you fix that? I'm not very good at tech mazes; maybe someone

    can walk me through that needed connection? Why is Zoom omitted from the apps with access list?

    Error number received at clicking the video sign to join: #OxA00F4244 [no connection)

    Checked re App Access which are all marked ON, but no Zoom app listed.

    Suggestions, recommendations?

    My Webcam is not working with Microsoft Teams

    Hi Antonio,

    I have gone into settings as you said.

    Microsoft Teams is listed under 'Some desktop apps might not appear in the following list or are not affected by this setting' which comes under the 'Allow desktop apps to access your camera'.

    The Webcam works with the following apps: -

    Windows Camera app

    Skype (from Microsoft)

    Zoom

    I have checked that my Kaspersky software and it is allowing access by Teams to the Webcam. I uninstalled the Webcam driver and then reinstalled it.

    As the Webcam works with all other apps then I believe it must be the interaction with Teams and my Webcam.

    Please advise next steps please.

    How do I unblock Zoom app access to my webcam?

    HELP! Access to Camera/ Webcam - Zoom APP not listed in Privacy Settings

    I use Skype and Zoom.us for video conferencing. My camera works, but stopped with Zoom software. I looked at the camera apps in Privacy Settings and Zoom is not listed, Skype and other Microsoft apps are. Do I need Zoom to be listed there in order to
    access?

    Can you help me get camera to work with both programs as it had previously? I've searched exhaustively and cannot find the correct solution. Thank you!
