My built-in webcam does not work on new Skype
Hello everyone
A few months ago, I updated my Skype. On the updated version, I couldn't use my webcam (USB2.0 uvc vga webcam on ASUS x52f, windows 7). I asked Google to solution and I got it: we will install an older version of Skype.
I did and the problem was solved.
Now that Skype blackmailed me to download the latest version (6.18.60.105) the problem is on again once. And the solution (installing a previous version) is no longer relevant.
I installed the new K-light codec pack. Still nothing.
I uninstalled and reinstalled my camera and drivers. Still nothing.
So the question is: How do I get my built-in Skype new and brilliant camera work?
Thanks for the replies!
Robert
Uninstall the version 6.18 and install Skype 6.14.0.104 version:

Satellite A660 - Webcam does not work when using Skype
I recently bought a Satellite A660-15J. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
I have the latest version of Skype (5.3.0.111).
The integrated Webcam does not work when you run Skype. If I run the Toshiba Web Camera Application the webcam works fine. However, when I test it in Skype, I get a message saying "cannot start video. Try quitting other programs that use the webcam '.
However, as far as I can tell there no other programs available. I have tried Skype with the Web Camera Application clised & open. I also confirmed that I do run the latest version of the program.
One of the main reasons we have this laptop is to use Skype video... Help, please.
Disable webcam application start-up and exit this application before you start Skype.
I used Skype many different models of laptops, including friends A660 and it worked correctly.
When you open Skype video settings is listed as default camera USB webcam?

My built-in webcam does not work with any program
My webcam has not worked with any program. My computer says that my webcam is disconnected, not lit, etc..., but because my webcam is integrated I can't change it. I tried Fn + F6 and I tried just turned my computer off, but it still does not work. Please tell me how I can remedy this.

I followed some advice here with Device Manager. I entered and found my camera. I clicked on properties and it says an error message.
It is said
Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
To resolve this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer.
It was just too much. My camera has always worked well. I have Windows 8, but I've always had. I have not downloaded anything recently... I have no idea why my camera just stopped working. I already tried the update and it says I have the latest version.
Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged. Re-install a new copy should helphttp://captaindbg.com/how-to-update-drivers-on-Windows-7/ (works on win 8 & win 10) -
Satellite L500-1WG - built in webcam does not work
My built-in web cam is not working, I discovered last week, and I have tried a few solutions as uninstall, then reinstall the driver but that work.
Also I delete my system restore to save space so I can't really go back to when it worked.
I don't think I installed all the drivers webcam lately, so I don't think that was it.Help?
Hmmmm... What can be done now?
Generally reinstall the driver webcam should help, but have you tried.What operating system do you use?
Try to delete web camera application again, clean the registry and all the entries, restart the laptop and try to reinstall the right webcam driver.
I put t really know what else you can try.By the way: what is the status of the webcam in Device Manager?

Troubleshoot camera connection
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Troubleshoot-camera-connection-problemsYou probably need to recharge the device drivers and camera control software (usually included
with the drivers and installed at the same time).Login as an administrator.
Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
will update the driver stack.Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
software (if not more recent get the same).Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.
Manually look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers.

to make sure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)

those that you have installed. If updates suggests a pilot and then HIDE it and watch manually to see if their

Built in webcam does not work in windows movie maker
I just bought an Acer Aspire 4730Z with windows vista and other pre-installed programs. I was looking to take the video to a blog with the cam integrated as I had done in the past on my desk but WMM said that there is no camera. The camera is obviously there and works with other programs like Skype. What can I do to fix this?
I'm not sure as to which version I'm running because everything is installed.
Hello ZeroFall,
Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.
- Try to uninstall Skype as it can interfere with WMM.
- Install the current drivers for the web cam
- Use the webcam to record your video and transfer it to WMM
Let us know if these steps solve your problem. I hope the information is useful.
Kind regards

Integrated on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work
Hi all
the built-in on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work.
I use Windows 7 Home Premium and already reinstalled the drivers of webcam 64-bit through this Web site. However, when I click on the webcam application, simply, nothing happens - program doesn't open at all or turn off instantly. Skype is not also acknowledge a cam. In addition, there is no webcam in Device Manager (a not detected USB device however) and no symbol of cam in the Ribbon of Toshiba quicklaunch, which is like the camera is started according to the "manual".
Someone has an idea what is the problem? Looks like a common problem according to Google, but no suggestions other than to reinstall the drivers. Perhaps another application blocking the camera? Firewall settings?
I'd appreciate any help, thank you.
Best regards Florian
> a USB not detected if
Maybe it's the webcam from the webcam is connected to the internal USB controller on the motherboard.
It looks like a webcam driver is not installed correctly.
Try the webcam driver released for the satellite t230 or other series of satellites.
Versions are newerAlso recommend that you check the BIOS settings.
In some cases, the BIOS contains a webcam option where the webcam can be turned on and off.
