Windows 10: Windows 10 Camera Color Settings

Is there a built in way to get access to more advanced camera settings in Windows 10 than what is available in the Camera app? I had a user that had ridiculously washed out webcam color settings and I couldn't find any way to change that for a while, eventually the user had to go into Skype to change the color balance so their video was viewable. Is there a way in Windows 10 to access advanced camera settings outside of Skype, which is going away? Teams doesn't have these settings available from what I see. This is a work computer so I'm not looking for third party programs.

camera settings, windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty with the problem.

I would require some more information to assist you better.

• Which app are you referring to Is it MS camera app or
  Non-MS Camera app?

If it is MS Camera app.

Unfortunately this option is not present in windows 10.

I would suggest you to adjust the brightness & contrast of the desktop, follow the below steps.

• Click Cortana search at the taskbar.
• Type Calibrate display color in the Cortana search box, and click on same.
• Click Next on Display Color Calibration window.
• Click Next on Set basic color settings appears on the screen window.
• Similarly, you get another window How to adjust gamma and click Next button to continue.
• Adjust gamma window prompts. Set the gamma color settings by sliding up or down (as you prefer) the gamma sliders. When you drag the slider upward brightness of your desktop enhances
  and when pull it downward brightness decreases. This is the center step to adjust brightness so perform carefully. Press
  Next button.
• Then you will see the Find the brightness and contrast controls for your display. Tap on
  Skip brightness and contrast adjustment if you want to avoid the adjustment of brightness and contrast.
• Press on Next button until you get the window called How to adjust color balance.
• In the window “How to adjust color balance”, hit the
  Next button to go further window.
• Here, you will notice another window Adjust color balance. In this window, you have the option to adjust the primary colors like
  red, blue and green by sliding these (right or left) with mouse according to your need. After you optimize the colors press the
  Next button.
• Finally, click Finish button to save the current color calibration settings on your Windows 10 desktop.

• You will find an option called “show color on start, taskbar and start icon”.
• You need to on the option and then you can change the color accordingly.

Camera color settings - Software of hardware presets?

I am using a Lenova Thinkpad, was recently on a ZOOM meeting and the onboard camera turned off. After the meeting I rebooted the computer to no avail then went looking for camera settings - reset all visible toggles and didn't check again until next zoom
meeting. Camera was working but only in Black and White. Went back to device settings looking for 'color' settings and found none. On board camera works but only in B&W. Any suggestions where to look to reset/activate color? PS: plugged in a Microsoft
HD camera/mic and it works fine in color so puzzle remains with built-in device.
