Web cam image inverted

Hi Fred,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I understand that the web cam image is inverted. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

This could be due to driver conflicts or changes in the settings.

To assist you better, I would like to know whether you had installed webcam software.

If you are using Asus software, see if the software has an option to flip/adjust camera frames (e.g. options => video Capture Filter > flip the image).

If the issue persists, I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the webcam driver and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.

2. In the list of devices, you should see the camera Drivers.
Mainly under imaging devices.

3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".

4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.

5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.

 

Web cam on Skype

Hi Martha,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Have you updated the drivers for the web cam?

Does this issue occur only on Skype?

I suggest you to install the attest drivers from the manufacturer website and check if it helps.

To install the driver updates follow the below steps.

• 
  Open run command window( Windows key + R) and type devmgmt.msc
  
• 
  Right click on driver and select update driver software.
  
• 
  If the driver updates are not available install it from manufacture website.
  

Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

Thanks.

 

web cam

Did you buy this Web Cam new and do you still have the box for it ???

• The Box packaging would usually have the Web Cams Manufacture and Identification on it as to what it is.
• Usually there would have been a small CD/DVD Disk with it in the box packaging containing the Drivers and Software for this particular Web Cam.

This Web Cam must have a Model Name and Number on it some where if its a external stand alone Web Cam.

Logitech have a tag on the end of the USB Cable as do many Microsoft.

The Tag has the Model and Serial Number on it but you may need a magnifying glass to read it.

Others may be on the body of the Web Cam itself.

If you find this then write it down.

Go to the Manufacturers Web Site Service and Support.

Manufacturers Service and Support usually have a field asking for the Model Name.

Enter the Model Name and search.

See what manufacturers Software and Drivers are available for it and your Operating System in downloads.

Download them and install them.

Also read the User Manual of what the Web Cams Setting do.

This is also usually supplied in the Manufactures Service and Support.

Otherwise as mentioned by Christopher Miller, you may need a small app.

• May be you already have one but turned the app off.
• If that`s the case start the app and see if it recognizes the Web Cam.
