Windows 10: Teams doesn't release camera after call.

Win11 on Latitude 7450. When you runs Teams with Camera, Then end your call. Teams doesn't release the camera. You will have to close out Teams to be able to use Zoom. Not an ideal solution since we often toggle between the two and rely on Teams for chat messages.

Teams app camera does not work?

Hello Perelini Lameko-Masoe,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.



It seems that you are having an issue about Teams camera not working. That is very annoying. I will do my best to help you. Here are some of my suggestions:



If your camera isn’t working in Microsoft Teams, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check for Updates:
   
   • Make sure you have the latest Windows update or update installed.
     
   • In Teams, go to Settings and Check for updates.
     
2. Close Other Apps and Restart:
   
   • Close any other apps that might be using your camera (like Skype or FaceTime).
     
   • If you’re using an external camera, unplug it and plug it back in.
     
   • Restart your device; sometimes a simple reboot can resolve camera issues.
     
3. Make a Test Call:
   
   • Open Teams, click your profile picture, and go to Settings > Devices.
     
   • Under Audio Settings, select Make a test call.
     
   • Follow the instructions from Test Call Bot to check if your mic, speaker, and camera are working.
     
4. Check App Permissions:
   
   • On Windows, open Settings > Privacy & security > Camera.
     
   • Turn on Let apps access your camera and ensure Microsoft Teams (work or school) is allowed.
     
   • If already enabled, toggle it off and back on.
     
   • Restart your device after making changes.
     
5. Update Drivers:
   
   • If using an external webcam or if your camera isn’t working in Windows 10, check your drivers.
     
   • Follow step-by-step instructions for checking your Windows drivers.
     

I hope it can solve your problem.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?
