Web Camera is not working

Hello

I assume by your comment "black screen appears in video call", you are experiencing problems in other camera apps as well, possibly Skype. If your camera isn't working in any applications this is indicative of a camera driver issue. Please try the steps
listed here to resolve your issue:

If your issue isn't resolved after running the steps, please report back with your camera make and model and the driver information you aquire from step 3.

Thanks,

Tom

 

Web camera not working with Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft community.

• What is the complete error message you are getting?

I understand the inconvenience you have experienced while accessing Windows Camera app.

Let try the below steps and check it helps:

Method 1:
Run built in Windows Store Apps troubleshooter.

• Press Windows Key then type ‘troubleshoot’ and hit Enter
• Select “View all” on the left panel and run “Windows Store Apps” troubleshooter from the list and see if it works.

Method 2:
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files:

• Click Start.
• Type cmd, and then press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to open elevated command prompt(I.e. Command prompt with admin rights).
• If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click
  Continue.
• Type or copy paste the command line into it
  without quotes:
  “sfc /scannow”
• Reboot the system and check if problem resolved.

If you have the camera connected to the computer, I would suggest that you disconnect the camera and then try to open the Camera app.



If the camera app opens, follow the steps below:

• Press “Windows key + C” from your keyboard to open “Charms bar”.
• Select “Settings” option.
• Select “Permissions” option.
• Turn on “Allow this app to access your: Webcam and Microphone” option.
• Lose the app by pressing “Alt key + F4” from your keyboard.
• Reopen the Camera app.
• Connect your camera and then check how this app works.

Goodluck!
