Windows 10: My camera light comes on, but no image appears.

I currently have an ASUS Zenbook. System Model ZenBook UX425UA_UM425UAWhenever I need to use my camera for a teams meeting or even just opening the camera app, it will not show any image. It does not show an error code.It shows a camera with a line through it as if I do not have a built in camera. My camera worked a week ago, but now no longer does.I have looked in the device manager if the driver needs to be updated, but it says its all up to date. I have restarted my laptop.

My camera light comes on but no image is visible

I bought a new Dell Inspiron and am having trouble with my camera.

On calls or using the app. the camera light comes on but I just get a black box where there should be the image.

Tried trouble shooting but didn't help.

No error message comes up.

What could be the issue?

Any help deeply appreciated.

Regards

Harish

Hi Carlo

Thank you for your detailed response.

Unfortunately it did not work.

Below is what the screen looks like when the camera is tuned on. Light comes on but what I see is a black box.

My Computer runs on Windows 11. Is a Dell Inspiron 15, 5510

 

Camera Low Light Threshold

Hey Dalchina, I did speak to Lenovo and go over the camera settings available in the Vantage app, but there isn't anything, unfortunately. Your t440s doesn't have a privacy shield, right? When both the privacy shield *and* a camera utilizing app are open, the camera LED light illuminates. When I turn off the lights in the room, the light remains lit, but the feed changes to that image in the OP. As I write this though, I fear that may just be a "feature" of the driver, and not a setting exposed directly to Windows. Before I posted, I thought the gray 'check privacy shutter' image--as well as the 'crossed out camera' image you get when the camera isn't detected--were coming directly from Windows. I've googled a bit more now, and I frankly only see those images in the context of a Lenovo system, so I may be hosed after all! lol
