Windows 10: Unable to use Webcam in Edge or Google Chrome

Hey everyone!

I've ran into an issue that I was hoping someone could provide some insight on.

When attempting to use the webcam in Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, I have been unable to do so. It has only been working in Firefox.

When verifying the Camera & Privacy settings, Firefox is the only allowed browser as well.



I was wondering if anyone would be able to let me know how it would be possible to add Chrome or Edge to this list? The camera is allowed in both browsers but Windows itself will not allow them to be accessed.


Thank you!

:)

Hi,

Since you already uninstalled Google Chrome using the Programs and Features, Google notifications may still be running in the background processes. We suggest that you follow these steps on how to end the Google Chrome process:

• On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
• Select Task Manager.
• Under Processes, locate Google Notifications or Google Chrome.
• Right click on them and select End Task.
• Double check under Programs and Features if Google Chrome is completely gone.

Let us know if these steps worked.
