  1. Webcam not working after Laptop goes to sleep until rebooted


    I have allowed the Zoom app in the AVG Antivirus. The webcam was working. After the laptop was unused for a day and had been asleep, Zoom's webcam would no longer work. I googled and found that the webcams often would not work after the laptop had been asleep.


    Once I reboot the laptop, the webcam works again in Zoom. I don't want to have to reboot the laptop every time before I log into Zoom to use the webcam.


    Does anyone have a solution for this problem?


    Thanks,

    Tony

    Webcam not working after reboot or sleep mode


    Hello,

    I have an older webcam (Trust WB-5400) which I found some driver for online that seems to be working fine with Windows 10. The problem is when I reboot my computer I have to replug the webcam for it to work again, same thing when I go out of sleep mode. This is very annoying as I want the camera to be plugged in to the back of my computer and obviously keep working

    Strange thing is I have a laptop also running the latest Windows 10, I installed the same driver rebooted my computer a few times and everytime the webcam keeps working even when going out of sleep mode.

    How do I solve this for my Desktop computer? Must be something that is configured wrong because it work's all fine on my laptop.

    I would be glad if someone could help me out,

    Thanks in advance

    Webcam not working after Laptop goes to sleep until rebooted

    install webcam on msi laptop

    Hi 1papertiger,

    This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand your concern about installing webcam on MSI laptops.

    Most laptops have a built-in webcam on it, If it's not working, there's a problem with the driver or settings of it.

    Step1: I request you to check for Hidden Devices in Device Manager. Please refer to these steps:

    a. On the desktop, press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.

    b. Click on View and select Show Hidden Devices.

    c. Check for the webcam under Imaging Devices.

    d. If the webcam is listed, then right-click on it and select Update Driver Software.

    e. Select Browse My Computer for Driver Software and follow the prompted steps.

    Step 2: Run the hardware troubleshooter and check if you receive any error messages.

    a. On the desktop, press Windows key + W and type Troubleshooting.

    b. Click on it and click on Hardware and Sound.

    c. Click on Hardware and Devices and follow the prompted steps.

    If the laptop doesn't have a built-in webcam on it, you would need to purchase an external webcam, plug it on your laptop and driver will download automatically.

    I hope my suggestions help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

    Thanks,

    Wilfred P.
