Yoga 2 Pro: Webcam not working with Skype?

Hi all, weird problem. For some reason skype cannot load the webcam built into the Yoga 2 Pro.
It works in the Windows 8 camera app just fine. 
I formatted and everything and it will just not work. 
IT WAS WORKING two days ago, that's why I'm so confused.  I've installed the drivers on the support page and have had 0 luck. 
I'm not sure if this is a permission thing or what..
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately I've reinstalled the driver after uninstalling it from the device manager 10 times. I also formatted and reinstalled, but that didn't fix anything.
The camera works for the camera app + the webcam test online. I've tried rollback on the drivers, and installing earlier versions of skype with no luck.
Very strange, all it does is show the loading sign, and never loads. 
This is the desktop version of skype btw. I'm going to try it with the non-dekstop version tonight and see if it works. 
EDIT: Is there any other camera source besides 'Lenovo EasyCamera'? Their are two drivers on the drivers page, which one is recommended?

  • Re: post on Logitech C270 webcam not working with Skype

    I am a windows 8.1 user and I'm using Skype 7.7 and it has all the updates that it needs as of right now and my Logitech C270 Webcam won't work with my Skype and only shows the loading screen. Can you explain to me why it won't work even if I've reinstalled Skype multiple times and restarted my computer as well? Thank you very much.

    It seems that the latest Skype versions don't work with AMD Radeon R7 200 Series graphic card. Try to uninstall the currently installed version and install the 6.14.0.104 version using the download links provided here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/ASUS-USB2-0-Webcam-not-recognized-by-Skype-6-18​... Make sure to disable automatic updates:Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Automatic updates ->Turn off automatic updates

  • My webcam not work with skype

    I have HP Probook 4540s with integrated webcam with Windows 7 Ultimate. I have making video call on skype but does not work for a week.Yesterday I uninstalled both webcam driver and Skype, then reinstalled with latest versions, but Skype does not recognize webcam  I updated BIOS, driver card and webcam, I did restart and it worked videocall but today no longer works.I use skype 7.2 the last version

    Certain versions of that particular model's camera drivers are problematic.  You would want to make sure that you are using the generic Microsoft driver or the 5.9 drivers.

    Beyond that, make sure no other problem is hogging up the camera resources.  If the camera continues to function intermittently then the internal cabling of the camera or the camera itself is probably defective and will require replacement.

  • I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old sys parts

    I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

    The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

    Hello Betty7,
    Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome" to the HP Forums.
    I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see that you are having an issue with getting the printer reinstalled. 
    I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it fails as well as any error codes it may generate.
    Thank you for your time.

    Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Hi Tom, I don't know if you can help me.
    I'm using Final Cut version 10.1.4 with Yosemite 10.10.2 and whenever I open FCP it opens for about 5 seconds (not allowing me to click anywhere) before closing with the message  "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly. click reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to apple automatically." I have tried opening it multiple times and the same thing has been happening over and over again and i've tried everything I could find on the internet and nothing is working.
    HELP.
    Jada.

  • Satellite A215-S7444 built-in webcam not working with MSN / Skype

    Hi, I've just bought my laptop and right after installing the newest MSN and Skype, the video is not working with these programs. I tried to configure the video settings inside MSN and it told that "windows cannot connect to this webcam. It's in currently in use or not plugged in". The webcam is built-in, a Chicony USB 2.0.
    Any hints ??

    Hi there,
    maybe you should download the webcam software for your machine from the toshiba driver download site and install it. The webcam works but the software sometimes behaves really weird so you just have to reinstall it. Maybe its an good idea to uninstall the old software before...

  • Webcams that work with Skype 6.3

    Can anywone tell me of a webcam that DOES work with Skype 6.3?
    I would prefer a Logitec - I have the Logitec Quikcam Pro HD which it seems does NOT work with 6.3.
    Thanks in anticipation

    I definitely believe you, all mine are recognized and function.  Due to "ground up" modifications to video, some compatibility was lost on versions 6.2 and above.  If you want your camera to operate, you can either try release 6.5 that came out today or downgrade to 6.1.  One of those should work.

    FIX:
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
