Windows 10: Turn off auto-brightness adaption for camera during video calls from web-browser

I have the problem that if there is any back light, the camera completely under-exposes the video, so nobody can see me. This happens using video calls from within Chrome browser.

There must be a way to override the auto brightness function of the camera??

How to turn off adaptive brightness?

Hi, I have a Windows 10 laptop Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-8130U CPU @ 2.20Ghz that I just got a week ago.

The brightness keeps dimming with darker images being displayed and brightening with lighter images. I've googled solutions to this problem and none of them have worked.

• I've updated the graphics driver
• rolled back said driver
• tried looking in the BIOS (which there are no brightness settings anyway)
• restarted the laptop
• shut down and turned on the laptop
• gone into power settings and turned off adaptive brightness On Battery and Plugged In
• tried downloading a new graphics driver
• looked into windows settings with no checkmark to disable adaptive brightness
• turned on high video performance
• tried to find Adaptive Brightness in services and disable it (it didn't seem to exist)

almost everything I've seen but none have helped. the laptop is for work and entertainment and I'd like to use it at full brightness most of the time, please help.

Thank you in advance.

 

Distorted Video and Web Cam~~

Hi Nina,

There could be a number of factors causing video and web camera display issues so we'll need to get more information. Kindly answer the following:

• What browser are you using?
• Have you tried using other browsers to see if the same issue persists?
• Does it also affect other video hosting websites? We suggest trying other video hosting websites in different browsers to compare their performance.
  

In most cases, issues with video and web camera display are caused by not installing the latest video drivers for your device. Depending on your device model, you'll need to go to your device manufacturer's website to download and install the latest drivers.
We suggest that you do that first.

We'll be waiting for your response. Don't hesitate to post back with additional information if necessary.
