    Hello!


    I have had this camera for several years now. Last time I used it was two days ago and it work as well as always. Today it just decided to stop functioning. The microphone works fine, and I can speak through it on different apps, however the camera refuses to work. I have tried using the camera app, changing USB ports, checking for updates, checking for driver updates, installing and reinstalling the camera, restarting my computer a few times, "allow apps to access your camera" is on. I tried using google hang outs and it said that my camera was "silenced". I have never seen this before and I don't know how to change it.


    Any ideas?


    Thank you

    :)

    LifeCam HD-3000 stopped working after Windows 10 Anniversary Update

    Back in September 2015 I had a similar problem: Microsoft's LifeCam HD-3000 webcam stopped working when I 'upgraded' from Windows 7 to Win 10. However, a thread on Windows Ten Forums solved the problem. *Party

    So I've been a happy camper for the last 17 month. That is until the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. At least I am pretty sure that's when the LifeCam stopped working. The cam itself does not seem to be the problem--the little blue light comes on when it is engaged, the LifeCam software boots up fine, but, unfortunately, this is what I see:

    The webcam is appropriately connected to a USB 2.0 port and, according to Windows, it is functioning properly:

    The webcam also does not work via the Windows 10 Camera app, and on a video chat site (black screen on both).

    I have detailed my attempts to fix this problem over on the Microsoft Support site: Need help troubleshooting Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 Not Working

    Can you all think of anything else I can do?

    Many thanks,

    Mark

    Similar problems here with my "LifeCam HD-3000" no longer working in W10.

    I suggest that Microsoft change the marketing ...

    "DeathCam HD-3000" seems more appropriate LifeCam HD-3000 Suddenly stopped working :)

    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
