Camera does not work on oovoo or Skype - Windows 8

my camera works fine when I got on camera about youcam, but when I go to oovoo or Skype my camera does not work why is this and how to fix

Hi Chris,

I would be grateful if you could help me with more information.

  1. You receive an error message/code when the webcam opens on Oovoo or Skype?
  2. What is the number and the model of the computer?
  3. Can you use your camera on photo metro app?

If this problem is specific to oovoo and Skype, I suggest you try to uninstall and reinstall these applications to solve the problem. Refer to this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows-8/uninstall-change-program

I found could help article to troubleshoot the camera transmits on Skype. See using these links:

    What happens when you start the webcam app?
    All programs-> Toshiba-> webcam

    Did you install other 3rd software part as for example the Skype that could access the webcam?

    Extra tip: go to BIOS and set it to default, save changes, and then restart the laptop.
    Start Skype for example, check the settings in Skype webcam chose correctly.

    It would be really interesting to know if the other software would be able to use the webcam.

    By the way: have you installed Toshiba face recognition? This software use and access the webcam as well
    Then sometimes it would be possible that this software could block the webcam and webcam tool could not work

    Hello

    > Yesterday I had installed version Skype 5.5.0.114 and the camera has functioned well, I upgraded Skype version 5.5.0.117 and the camera started not to work.

    This means that it is not software for laptop problem or a webcam, but maybe it s Skype related issue.
    You should check if the webcam has been chosen correctly in Skype video settings.

    If this does not work, uninstall the 5.5.0.117 version of the system, reboot the laptop, clean the registry using CCleaner (freeware tool) and then after reboot again to install the 5.5.0.117 again if not check the 5.5.0.114 a version that worked correctly in the past.

  • Q10 blackBerry camera does not work after upgrade Q10 to 10.3.1.1581

    I've upgraded to the new operating system on the weekend and I love the new screens and functions - except that now all my camera does not work, can't take pictures (movies are OK).  I tried all settings, no combination it will do the job.  Restart the phone does not work.  Any suggestions?

    I would like to peform a security wipe on the device.

    To perform a security Wipe please follow the instructions below. Don't forget and allows to do a full backup before erasing all data will be erased when the BB link wipe:

    http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/KB33591

    Once the wipe is complete, you can restore your backup. Remember that the data in the backup can be the source of the original problem and restore can restore the problem, as well. To compensate for this, I do not recommend restoring the passage of the backup settings.

    Hi Syed,

    Thanks for the reply with the status of the issue.

    I suggest you try to install the drivers for Windows 7 in compatibility mode and check if it works for you. I saw this troubleshooting procedure described working for other members of the community.

    Step 1: Download the driver for the Webcam from this link of Lenovo.

    http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=DS015018

    Step 2: Installing the driver in compatibility mode.

    Make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows:
