    Web Cam is blocked or in use in another application


    My web cam works fine when plugged in to my laptop, but video doesn't work on my desktop.

    The sound comes through fine on the desktop.


    I have tried copying my drivers from the laptop and installing them on the desktop but still have the same error message on the desktop.


    I have checked my privacy settings and have allowed use of my camera to all apps.


    I have looked up my device name and checked 'procexp64' to see what programs are trying to use my camera, and the search returns none.


    The device is an RCA to USB converter, EasyCAP is written on the product.


    What would cause such a conflict between 2 computers both running windows 10, presumably with the same access to appropriate drivers?

    :)

  2. 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.

    A good web cam application has the following characteristics:

    • Works with your brand and model of webcam.
    • Performs the functions you want to have performed.
    • User interface is easy to understand.
    • Reasonable price (or free!)
