Do laptops generally have a built in webcam?

I am just about to set up a home office and since I will be doing a fair amount of Skype for Business and I am shopping for a laptop (have never owned one) - I was wondering if built-in webcams are standard these days?  Thanks!

Hi Mountainmama23! Yes! Built in webcam is standard in most laptops. if you go to BestBuy.ca it will specify in the specs if it does have one or not. Heres an example Below! --NathanBest Buy 079

  • My laptop no longer detects my built in webcam

    I have an HP G60-635DX notebook.   I have a built in webcam which I have used several times before, but now all of a sudden my laptop is not even detecting I have a built in webcam.  What to do?  I have a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Webcam.  It bums me out.  It is the only way I can talk to my boyfriend face to face while he is out of town and now it is not even working!

    OK, to start with, may I know if you can you check using webcam with Cyberlink Youcam Software & if webcam is listed in device manager under imaging device....
    To get to device manager, follow the below steps:
    Click on the Start button and then choose Control Panel.
    Click on the System and Security icon.
    Note: If you're viewing the Large icons or Small icons view of Control Panel, you won't see this link. Simply click on Device Manager and then proceed to Step 4.
    In the System and Security window, click on the Device Manager link located under the System heading.

  • My HP Pavilion doesn't detect the built-in webcam

    Sir, I have a built-in webcam that used to work perfectly until recently. My Laptop came with Windows 8 in 2013 and I upgraded it to Windows 8.1. However, now my computer is not able to detect the built-in webcam. I know it's a software problem because the hardware couldn't have been damaged. I have tried installing the 'youCam software' with the help of HP recovery manager, and it was successfully installed. Still, when I open YouCam, it says, "No available camera detected. Please check if camera is connected and try again". Even device manager has no 'imaging devices' option. I guess something turned the webcam off, and for some reason, no driver is able to turn it back on I need to get that camera working. My product name/number is,  15-n010TX. Please let me know what I can do.. thank you

    Try a hard reset as follows:
    1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
    2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
    3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
    4) Press the power button
    Please post your positive or negative results here in your thread. Customer self repair media libraryhttp://h20464.www2.hp.com/index.html

  • Built-in Webcam not Recognized by Laptop

    My built-in webcam on my Satellite A305-S6905 is not recognized by my laptop!!! 
    I click on Camera Assitant Software to boot up the cam and get no where. 
    The error message reads: Webcam is either disabled or failed. Please check your webcam settings.
    I have no clue where the webcam settings might be. I have downloaded the driver 2x from the Toshiba recommended downloads: Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility for Windows Vista (32/64bit) / XP(v8.7.0.1007; 04-13-201... I get a message that the download was successful. Then, I check the list of devices in the Device Manager. The Chicony USB 2.0 Camera software is nowhere to be found. I cannot select it to Update the software. I have restarted my computer 2x. No help.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?   My daughter is leaving for Hong Kong and Vietman and I would like to track her journey using Skype. Thanks, NC

    Thank you for the help Jerry, but I already tried that download. After downloading, I recved the following message: “The setup has detected that version (1.07..) of Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba is already installed. This setup installs an earlier version of Cam Asst. Soft for Toshba. You will need to uninstall the previous version (17.193.0508L) before installing this version.”
    I have not tried to find the earlier Cam Asst Soft for Toshba version to uninstall yet. Should I find the earlier version, uninstall and download this earlier version?

  • My laptop has a webcam but no built in webcam app.

    I have to use a crappy software to take pictures. How do I fix this? I need a webcam app that has a timer and I was hoping that there'd a be built in webcam app on my laptop that would do the trick. But there's no app in the first place.
    Help.

    Hi,
    Unless you've removed it, the webcam software should hae a software/app called CyberLink Youcam. You can dwnload from the following link and install on your computer again:

  • My macbook built-in webcam has died 2 times since I have owned it. Any ideas?

    I got the macbook in 2010. It was the last year they made the white macbook (that I can tell). Since then I have had the webcam die on me twice. The first time it was under the apple care plan and I took it back they replaced screen/unit. Less than a year later the same thing happened. No damage to the macbook. No dropping. No deleting of software. None of the normal programs which use the built-in webcam will even detect it. Nothing that I can think of that would cause this. Any ideas?

  • Netbook N250 has built in webcam but laptop doesn't recognize it.

    I have a netbook NB250.  It has a built-in webcam but  I can't access it.  I re-installed the driver and looked in control panel and under my computer but there is not link to it.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

    What's the full model number of your netbook? Look on a label on the bottom.
    In the Start Menu's search field, type "Device Manager" and press ENTER. Is there an entry titled "Imaging devices"?

    See this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
    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.
    If that doesnt pass,
    Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

  • I have a Touchsmart 9100 PC with a built in webcam, but i cannot get the webcam to work, help?

    A light comes on the built in webcam when I for instance, activate a Skype video call, but no picture comes through.  I thought this might be a problem with Skype, so i instead tried to just use the webcam like a photobooth however the camera still would not work.
    What do you think the problem is? How do I uninstall and reinstall the webcam, might that help? or is this not possible with a built in device?
    Thanks.

    When I baught the PC I coud use it, then I put skype on it, it works on skype, but i cannot get a picture on the screen.

  • My built-in webcam is not being detected by CyberLink Youcam on Windows 7 (HP Pavilion dv2660se)

    Hi, I bought this laptop from someone I know, and Windows 7 came with it. I must say I don't know much about electronics. The built-in webcam won't work, either on CyberLink YouCam or on MSN Messenger. On CyberLink Youcam, it says no webcam is detected. In the control panel it doesn't even say there's a webcam, but there's an 'unknown peripheric' though. What can I do? P.S.: Please forgive english mistakes if there's any.

    Hi I have exactly the same problem. My webcam was working for months but I recently had the laptop sent for repairs for something else, and I've just noticed since having it back that the webcam isn't detected. When going into the webcam program it says there is no webcam detected and for integrated cameras, make sure it is switched on. I've also had an unknown USB device notification flashing up but when I investigate in Device Manager I have in 'Sound, video and game controllers' Cyberlink Youcam virtual driver installed and 'functioning properly' Also in USB devices there is a usb not functioning properly "Universal Serial Bus Controllers / (Standard USB Host controller) / Port_#0002.Hub_#0003" and 'no drivers have been loaded for this device'. It's unknown but when I choose to search  manually for driver updates the path it directs me to is C:\Program Files (x86)\Realtek\NICDRV_8169\win7    'Windows has stopped this device as it has reported problems (Code 43)' Does anyone know what I might be able to do? I've tried reinstalling the Webcam driver but apparent from that I don't really know where to go.... Thanks  

  • My built-in webcam stopped working after installing Windows 7 - HELP!!

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6636nr Entertainment Notebook computer.  It came installed with Windows Vista and I just recently installed Windows 7, 32-bit onto it.  The built-in webcam worked for a short time, but now it doesn't even show up in the device manager and no longer functions.  I don't know if there are drivers in conflict or what, but I am very frustrated.  Any help anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated, as HP no longer supports this laptop because it's OLD.   Thanks!

  • Dell SP2008WFP monitor with built in webcam - webcam not working

    Just set up the new SP2008WFP monitor from Dell with the built in webcam to use with my Ti 500mhz powerbook. At first it told me the camera was in use by another application, but after installing iChatUSBCam I was able to get it to show a black screen instead. Microphone works fine. I tried the same with my newer Core 2 Duo macbook pro and was able to get a picture from iChat from the built in monitor camera with IChatUSBCam installed (evocam also gave me a picture right off the bat). My assumption is that there is an issue with the older mac. Not sure why that would be and if there are any solutions for it. I tried zapping pram and trashing ichat prefs but to no avail. Anyone have any other suggestions?
    Another issue with the monitor is that at the suggested resolution of 1680x1050 the image is scooted about 4 inches to the right with no way of correcting. I have to set it to 1600x1000 to get a centered desktop. Again, not a problem when connected to the newer macbook pro. Are both these issues a sign of a video card issue?

    The G4 Titanium was top of the bill when it was introduced, and still is a good laptop. However it would not be a good sign if it still was cause the MBP would not be top of the bill. To put it simple it has aged and the processing power is not enough to deliver the HiRes needed to do todays state of the art screens. Use the MBP for the external screen, it does the trick even when it has deliver the high resolution twice and then some. For nostalgia's sake you can flash back to it's introduction by the master of ceremony, you wouldn't say it is more than 6 years ago.
