• Webcam not found by Skype

  Friday last Skype forced me to update. so far, I've used the 6.1.999 special version. With the 6.18.0 of the latetest version it does not recognize the webcam not more. There are configuration-> device management. No other program is using the webcam. Why Skype does not see the camera?

  First uninstalled ASUS Virtual Camera application.

  If this will still not help then uninstall the version 6.18 and install the 6.14.0.104 old version of Skype.

  You can use this link to download Skype 6.14.0.104.

• Microsoft Lifecam VX-6000 not detected by Skype.

  My Skype is 6.20
  
  My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium
  
  I found my old webcam and I wanted to Skype with a few people, but for some reason any my Lifecam VX-6000 will not be detected by Skype. I already tried to reinstall the drivers and revert to a version of Skype, but Skype doesn't always detect it. It installed fine I can boot the device in Device Manager and it works very well and even Google Hangouts may fall within the webcam.
  
  So why Skype does not detect the webcam?

  The latest version supports video without SSE2 was 6.1. However, this version, as well as all the Skype versions prior to 6.14 are now retired and can no longer be used.

• Satellite L755D - Web cam/mic are not detected by Skype

  Good evening everyone,

  I just noticed that when I install and open Skype, my built-in webcam and microphone are not detected by the application. He has worked in the past, but I've not had to use Skype for more than a year, so never noticed until now.

  I checked the Device Manager and there is no webcam or microphone listed. I tried to search for new hardware, but it found nothing.

  Specifications of systems:

  OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
  Processor: AMD A8 - 3500M
  Memory: 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB Kingston sticks)
  HARD drive: 750 GB Seagate Barracuda
  The version of the BIOS: Insyde Corp. 2.10 (28/06/2012)

  If any other info is needed to help diagnose and solve this problem, then please ask and I will provide.

  Thank you very much

  Michael

  I guess the laptop not was not preinstalled with Win 8.1 but updated you the Win 7 system to Win 8.1.
  Is this correct?

  I m application because it would be interesting to know if the webcam worked correctly using Win 7.
  The driver for the webcam using Win 7 to be installed to get the webcam recognised.

  To help to win 8.1 additional webcam driver is not necessary because it s already part of the Win 8.1 System. That is why the webcam should appear in the Device Manager without installation of the webcam driver.

  However, some models of laptop supports additional webcam POWER setting in the BIOS.
  Please check this option in the BIOS.

• New Pavilion dv7, HP TrueVision HD webcam not detected

  Just bought my new Pavilion dv7, and when I run the Cam software, it tells me that my HP TrueVision HD webcam is not detected. I tried this for a few days, at a point when I was trying to play with the settings you Cam, webcam light on for aprox. 2 seconds and then died again, since then, it won't let me even in the settings of YouCam.

  Right now I am more and more convinced that it is because of my laptop being assembled outside the United States. Need a fix for it immediately.

  Hi guys,.

  I had the same problem with a HP Pavilion dv7-6e22b. I read on a short cable inside the screen.
  I found the post on the way in which the display is connected. It's an older model but I was curious to know how to remove the cover of the machine. It contains 2 screws (that I didn't have to remove to access the camera) just be causious does not break the bevel.

  http://www.insidemylaptop.com/remove-LCD-screen-inverter-Board-HP-Pavilion-dv7-notebook/

  It is an older model in the new model, the connector of the webcam is located directly under the lens of the webcam itself.
  I pressed connector you slightly. And suddenly I hear a USB all OFA linking sound. After that my device manager showed a "device-image", and the software work directly.

  I jump it will solve your problems. I say read all messages and do not find a solution to the driver or software and after seeing the connector, I think it's an effort of poor deisgn by using short cables and small connectors.

  good luck to all!

• Satellite A300 PSAG4A: Webcam not detected in Device Manager

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAG4A 02L00M with Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
  The webcam is not working and it is not detected in Device Manager.
  When I install the Chicony camera drivers, I get the "Webcam driver open fail. Error message.

  The fact that I can't see the Webcam in Device Manager tells me that there may be a hardware failure.
  However, I hope that this is a setting that I can fix myself.

  I had restored the laptop to factory also and I've updated the bios.
  I tried to uninstall all the USB controllers and reboot the PC.

  Is there something I can do?
  It's maybe a software problem?
  There may be a setting?

  Best way to test the operation of the equipment is to check with the factory settings installation operating system with the Toshiba recovery image. As I see that you have done this already.

  So if cam still doesn't work properly, I fear that there is a problem with the hardware.
  It cannot be matter of software because the recovery image contains the driver for the cam.

• Satellite M200 - Chicony webcam not compatible with Skype

  Greetings!

  I have a Satellite M200 series and my Webcam Chicony works very well with YM. When I tried to use it on Skype, he'll tell me that "Skype has not found video source preferred. Webcam can be used in another application. Then I tried to move to the tools in Skype and checked the video settings, I changed the cam of default for a Chicony USB 2.0, still the same error message. The next thing I did was open the software assistant camera, but by clicking on the buttons will do nothing. I can open the device itself. So, I updated the device driver in Device Manager and the result is that I had the best and the last driver installed. Still not working in Skype.

  Any suggestions? I'll be very grateful for any help. Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that Skype is one of the best applications to work with the webcam. I use it on the first day of purchase and there is no problem at all.
  What you can do is to restart your laptop, switch-webcam help software, start the Skype and try to configure the webcam in Skype settings again.

  He has to work. It works on my Satellite P200 and my Satellite U400 friends. He has to work in your case too.

• My computer says webcam not detected

  I have a HP computer and I when I try to use the downloaded client webcam with my computer, CyberlinkYouCam, he says that the webcam is not detected. I went into the Device Manager screen to find it under imaging devices, but there is nothing there. I scanned for a new hard drive, downloaded the new software YouCam, but I don't know what else to do. It does not anywhere what the pilot is supposed to be, but I guess it comes to YouCam. I read a lot of questions but nothing says what happens if you can't find what you did driver, or if it does not work. It's a built-in camera.
