    I need to buy Skype to use my webcam on facebook

    Hi Carolyn,

    No, it is not necessary.  But a Setup and configuration is necessary.  Essentially, you must do three things (maybe less if we're lucky):

    1. contact the manufacturer of the webcam for installation instructions (and anything else you need) to use the webcam on the internet.  If it came with the computer, contact the computer manufacturer.  He is the most likely solution to the problem.

    2. contact the Technical Support of Facebook (including instances) for assistance using a webcam on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/help/.

    3. If this is not sufficient, please repost to get help in a more suitable answers forum from here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/hardware?page=1&tab=all&tm=1300700638376.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello
    If Facebook does not recognize your webcam right away when you want to share a video, click on the eye for cameras new button.

    Your Adobe Flash Player settings will be displayed.
    On the tab, make sure you only select the right type of camera you use with your computer.

    On the tab, you may also need to 'allow' Facebook to access your camera and microphone.

    If your settings does not work, try to uninstall Adobe Flash Player on your computer and download the latest Flash Player.

  • How can I activate my HP TrueVision webcam (HP Envy dv7;) Windows 8)

    Really, I'm losing my patience here. My laptop is brand new. I remember the first time I started it, I clicked on CyberLink YouCam and the machine worked. I even took a picture with her.

    Since then, I try to activate the webcam and it doesn't work. I wanted to video chat on Skype but the webcam was not enabled, there is no choice of webcam.

    I've read that if you go on Facebook and click 'Change your profile picture' and then 'take a picture' it activates the webcam, but not in my case.

    When I run CyberLink YouCam, it says that he has not found webcam and if I activate it if I a.

    So here's my question: how to turn on the webcam? Please, give me the instructions on how it works. What I have to press the key combination or whatever.

    I'm the HP dv7-7202eg with Windows 8. Bought and used in Austria, if that information makes a difference :-)

    If the webcam was working before, it may be "stuck".  If this is the case, then a reset can throw everything is free and you'll be "back in business" in a few minutes.  If the reset does not fix it, there are a few more options.  Stop when it works.

    Downstairs is a Help Guide that goes over the tests and the options you have available on the software to help you solve the problem.

    This is a whole new system. If all else fails, please do call HP and ask for help!  Just because the webcam worked before doesn't mean it works now.  These webcams little are fragile and they can break - the wires are tiny and they can be crushed, twisted or broken at any time.  If the tenacious webcam does not work, call HP and ask for help.  Something may have been missed or nit can be broken!

    Contact HP

    Try this simple Reset:

    Laptops - forced Reset to solve Hardware and Software issues-battery not removable

    OR

    Troubleshoot camera connection
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Troubleshoot-camera-connection-problems

    You 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.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (update drivers manually using the methods above is preferred
    to make sure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Then let windows updates on however prevent loading of drivers who are often older than the
    those that you have installed. If updates suggests a pilot and then HIDE it and watch manually to see if their
    really is a more recent version (at the time system manufacturer and the sites of the manufacturer of the device).

    Hi, I bought a new Sony Vaio VPCCA series and when I got it, the webcam was working fine and then I started to use it with facebook videocall and it was fine, but the next day when I went to use it again, it said no camera not connected. My friend already looked and found that there is an unknown device that has been incorrectly installed then it uninstalled and then relaunch the software for the webcam. But then the next day it happened again, now the problem is that whenever I have uninstall so-called usb device that was not properly installed and executed the quiet software of webcam reboot the computer, it does everywhere again. The thing is restarting the laptop each time it will say "software device driver is not properly installed" and is I click on it it says is a USB device when there is no USB device connected to the laptop? So how could he say that? Please help me, this problem has been bothers me everyday and I really need the webcam, which was one of the reasons why I bought this laptop. Help, please!

  • 32-bit and 64-bit Vista operating system installed, trying to get the webcam to take photo

    I have a HP Webcam who settled in the factory on my pc laptop pavilion dv3510nr. I was able to take pictures with her when I'm on Facebook, but of course I can't understand yet how to do anything else with it at all outside of Facebook. I read something that said I had to download the latest version of Quickplay, but when I entered the information for my computer, Quickplay appears. I finally found something called YouCam and downloaded that. I downloaded the 64 bit version. I did it for the version 32 - bit still.

    I want to know if I need to keep download two sets of everything. I have 64-bit Internet Explorer available, but usually use 32-bit because not all websites have upgraded to 64 - bit yet. I'm just a little confused, I guess. I don't know when to download what version of bits. Can you help me?

    Luanne

    you don't have to download 2 sets of drivers. If you have a 64-bit operating system, then download the 64-bit drivers. 32-bit operating system you only need 32-bit drivers. Some 32-bit drivers will work for 64-bit os.

    As far the webcam goes you can go here to download the quickplay update
