    Webcam won't work in any browser; works for other applications


    I have no problem using the built-in webcam for Windows Hello login, Skype, or Zoom. It will not, however, work in any web browser; I've tried Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. For Chrome and Edge, it does not prompt for permission and does not list any cameras available ie: in Google Meet. For Firefox, when I access a page using the webcam, it simply crashes. I've checked the browser permissions, and the Windows privacy permissions. The latter is enabled, but the browsers are not listed among the set of applications requesting permission. Oddly Skype always

    :)

    Webcam won't work in any browser; works for other applications

    I have no problem using the built-in webcam for Windows Hello login, Skype, or Zoom. It will not, however, work in any web browser; I've tried Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. For Chrome and Edge, it does not prompt for permission and does not list any cameras
    available (ie: in Google Meet). For Firefox, when I access a page using the webcam, it simply crashes.

    I've checked the browser permissions, and the Windows privacy permissions. The latter is enabled, but the browsers are not listed among the set of applications requesting permission. Oddly Skype always shows up in the 'Allow desktop apps...' list as 'Currently
    in use', even when Skype is fully closed (as verified via Task Manager).

    Any ideas?

    Skype webcam sound won't work

    Terminate Skype, then go to Control panel -> Sound and audio devices -> Audio -> un-check "Use only default devices", restart Skype and see if the webcam audio input is listed.

    Skype webcam sound won't work

    Does any other microphone (like a gaming headset) work? If it does, then the webcam microphone is not working.
