Windows 10: Webcam and Mic from Zoom Essential

Hi Everyone,

I just received a starter pack from a company called Zoom Essential. It includes a webcam, a little mic and a light ring. I have dome everything they have said for connection - like the webcam connects to the USB port and the mic to the speaker port. What else do I do in order to see this work, in terms of using the webcam and the mic for connectivity with my family or friends or colleagues. You can see I'm not anything on these things. Thank you.

:)

 

webcam and mic

Hi Roland,

Are you trying to use a specific application which accesses the webcame and mic?

Webcam

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/402864...

To open up your webcam or camera, select the Start button, and then select Camera in the list of apps.

If you want to use the camera within other apps, select the Start button, select Settings > Privacy > Camera, and then turn on Let apps use my camera. 

From there, turn on each of the listed apps where you want to use the camera.

Mic

Give these a look and let me know!

Mic/Webcam set up

Hi,
My wife is working from home, she's using her Win 10 Samsung laptop, but struggling for webcam & mic set up.

This is pictures of whats happening. first one is the error, 2nd is the options, then the next 2 are in the security when you click manage, just can't get them to work, say drivers are all up to date and both are enabled in device manger, she's got a mic/headset from her work and this works, but still no webcam.

we were trying through facebook for setting up the webcam & mic, not sure if this was the right thing to do?

 

mic/camera Cortana


The best solution I suggest is totally remove mic and webcam drivers...Then head to official website and get the latest ones..
