WEBCAM and SKYPE

I have Windows 7 Touchsmart.  I have Skype and wonder if the webcam can be used with Skype.  Seems that you can only access programmatically touchsmart.  Microphones work with Skype, but nobody knows what to do about the webcam?

Thank you for your comments.

Watts, you should go into the settings for Skype and make sure that your webcam is set as the default value.  This should solve your problem.

  • 3110 webcam and Skype - cannot start video rendering engine. Make sure you have a valid installation of DirectX.

    I had a new HP Pavillion Elite running Windows 7 and bought a HP Webcam HD 3110 which is supposed to have Skype compatibility (clearly indicated on the packaging).  The webcam came with a bunch of software (ArcSoft Magic - i Visual Effects2, ArcSoft Webcam companion 3, ArcSoft Connect and ArcSoft ShowBiz).

    When I turn on my webcam using the ArcSoft program it seems to work fine (I can see and record videos with sound). When I try to use Skype, the sound works fine (there is a microphone on the camera). In Skype, the video does not work and it gives me the message "cannot start video renderer. Make sure you have a valid installation of DirectX.

    I have the latest version of the driver for the webcam, I have the latest version of DirectX (version11) and the latest version of Skype (version 5.0.0.152). I tried to use "ManyCam" program that some people recommended, but it did not work. Anyone else have this same problem? Someone knows how to solve?

    Help, please!

    I think HP has provided an update to the drivers of webcam which solves this problem... and Skype will include a fix soon.

    Thanks, but I have resolved the problem with the help of the forum, it was caused by the presence of old webcam drivers corrupted in the registry

    under

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, expand SYSTEM , expand CurrentControlSet , Control , class

    Then, in category, click on {{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}}

    Once I had deleted the value contained in the upper filters all then worked.

    .. If the other is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator for the Publisher of software for support.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the webcam and Skype and insured Windows is fully updated.

  • Portege R600 and Webcam in Skype functionality

    Hello!

    I tried to get the camera working on the Portege R600 within Skype.

    I got it in the past, but he stopped and now I just get a black screen when I load the video in the settings. I tried specifying the default camera and also the chicony usb 2.0 camera two identical results of both. I updated to the latest version, earlier and removed and he readded in Device Manager. No luck.

    Any ideas? Running fully patched Vista 32 bit

    Hello

    I'm not very well why this happens, but I see that you use the Skype of m.
    Some people have reported some problems with the webcam and 3rd party software like MS messenger and Skype for example. Both applications use the webcam also.

    I think there could be a problem with software compatibility between the software/driver preinstalled webcam and the Skype/MS Messenger

    You said that too that everything has worked in the past, as well, that would be really interesting to know if the problem would be persists using the laptop with the factory settings Toshiba and without a Skype or other additional software installation.

  • I just got a Toshiba laptop reconfigured with WEBCAM and Windows Vista. When I logged on Skype, it says that it does not recognize any webcam. How can I activate my?

    My laptop has a webcam, but Skype says that he does not have a webcam. It is disabled, and if so, how to enable it?

    Hello

    Close all programs and Skype.

    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).

    Just you'd go to Toshiba Support and get the driver for your model laptop.

    Go to your model.
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp?NAV=download

    Good time to get some other updates here.

    Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause

  • Satellite C660 - Webcam and the microphone does not

    I had my laptop for less than a year. I've always been able to use Skype without any problems, but my built-in webcam and microphone are no longer works.

    I installed the latest driver for the webcam of the support, but the webcam still doesn't work and I installed the latest audio driver and my microphone still does not work too.

    Please, please, please can someone help?

    Hello

    And why not webcam and the microphone not work? How have you noticed this?
    I mean is webcam picture only in black or what is exactly happening? Also, what is with the microphone?

    The microphone is a part of webcam if it s enough if you reinstall the driver for the webcam. Latest version can be downloaded on the official website of Toshiba. If the driver is installed, make sure that the webcam is set as default input device. You can do this in the audio settings of Windows.

    The webcam doesn't appear in Device Manager, and it works if you start the webcam software rather Skype?

  • Pavilion dv6 problem with webcam and microphone

    Hello
    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6156ea, which is a little more than a month.  It runs Windows 7 Home Premium.
    Today, tried to use the webcam and microphone for the first time, a Skype call, but none of them does not seem to work.
    The webcam is not displayed in Device Manager, but the microphone is.
    When I opened Cyberlink Youcam, it does not recognize that there is an internal webcam.
    What should I do to activate the microphone and the cam?

    I followed the link below and follow the instructions.  But the webcam is not displayed in Device Manager.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02452221

    Because is not find the device, I don't know how to update the drivers.

    I don't know how to solve the problem with the microphone.  I don't know if these things are likely to be associated.

    Any help appreciated

    Thank you

    Feel a little silly answering myself, but no one responded and I thought it is best to share what I found out.

    The webcam was defective, straight out of the box.

    And the microphone is connected to these features, but uses a different driver - if your microphone works, it could be a sign that your problem is with the driver for the cam.

    I bought the PC world a month ago, so there was although it is very busy.  It was the second faulty webcam in HP they had returned today - most early was a dv7.  There was no problem with replace - they took a glance, considered to be the installation of the drivers on a disc, but when it was not displayed in Device Manager and the microphone works not more, they knew right away.

    It really shows control of very poor quality of Hewlett-Packard.  It's a shame that in the first weeks, I was really happy with this model, but realistically, now I know that this is what looks like their QC, when my company needs its next piece I'll go with anything other than HP.

  • Support webcam and touchpad for G530

    So, as I went through the drivers listed on the lenovo Web site, I noticed that there is no support for either the webcam and the touchpad. I have a basic use of the touchpad, but cannot use the scrolling features, and I can't seem to access my webcam otherwise but Skype.

    I just upgraded from XP and maybe that I can't find a way to solve this problem, but it seems there is only support for video, audio and internet connection with this computer, no small things such as the veriface software or easy camera, and it sucks.
