Fix your broken Windows 10 webcam before the next video call starts!
Get ready for your next video call.
If your photos start to look a bit unusual or you can’t get your camera to work during Skype or Google Hangouts video calls, you need to take a look at its settings. Fortunately, Windows 10 has a few built-in tools that will help you fix the problems.
If you are using a USB camera, check the port as the problems could be caused by a deficient connection. Try using a different port or connect the camera to another device to test it.
The other option is to restart your computer. Restarting your machine often resolves basic issues, and is always worth a try before other fixes.
The camera app comes with a few options that allow you to change its default settings.
If you want to adjust the camera’s brightness setting, turn on Pro mode. To adjust the brightness, click the Brightness icon placed in the left part of the window and use the slider.
Your camera might’ve stopped working due to your Privacy settings. To enable access, you should configure which apps can access your camera.
Windows 10 might have issues detecting your camera. To fix it, follow these steps:
In case your camera shows up in Device Manager and doesn’t work, check and update your drivers.
Configuring your camera’s settings or fixing it might not interest you until it doesn’t work properly during an important video call. To make sure this doesn’t happen to you, schedule a video call with a friend and if something doesn’t work properly, follow the solutions listed here to fix the issue.
