Webcam and skype

I just bought a new computer that runs Windows 8.  I had a logitech webcam that was no longer supported so I bought a new one ((C270).  I installed the new webcam but Skype still doesn't let me video chat.  I checked all the skype permissions.  Still no luck.  Do I need to reinstall skype?  Or what?

Did you check the Options as well?

  • Webcams and Skype with 10.3.9

    Hi all, I searched before posting my question...thanks for any help in advance.
    I have SKYPE and all is workig well-speechwise. Would like to now connect a webcam to see those I call/Skype with, what should I buy so it works with Skype and on my PBook G4 with OS 10.3 (have all updates). The folks I communicate with have a PC not Mac, but I don't think that is a problem via SKYPE (?)
    Thank-you

    You don't need any more software . The iSight instruction book says that to use iSight, you must have the following:
    "A Macintosh computer with a G3 processor at 600 Mz or greater or any G4 or G5 processor.
    Mac OS 10.2.5 or later and iChat AV.
    A .Mac America Online (AOL) or AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) account (only required to use iChat AV outside your local area network).
    A broadband internet connection using a DSL or cable modem.
    You can video conference with other iChat AV users and Windows AIM users.
    You must have iChat AV to be able to use iSight with other applications."
    Presumably the last instruction covers the situation where you want to use iSight with Skype. I first used my iSight camera with iChat (which was already on my iMac computer) and my daughter set up a Windows AIM account. This used to regularly crash after about five minutes, giving us both sound but no picture ( a frequently reported occurrence in the Discussions pages). After we swapped to using Skype, the problems disappeared. I am no expert and got help initially to set up using this Discussion forum. If you need any really expert technical help, I'm sure others will be willing to jump in and give it.
    Good luck !

  • Webcam not working (FaceTime and Skype) MacBook Air 9"

    Hi all,
    after the update, Facetime and Skype tell me, that there is no Webcam avaliable. What happens? Before upgrading it works.
    Best regards,
    Florian

    Hi, yes now my problem regarding this is now solved, but now the BOOTCAMP and Windows 7 produce all time BSOD while starting, only with F8 and "abgesicherter Modus/safe mode" I can logon on.
    Exact after starting Windows and have the BSOD the cam works again starting Lion :-(
    Error message is: CACHE_MANAGER
    0x00000034 (0x00000107, 0xC0000420, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    Apple has tried a lot of stuff
    deleted all caches (no result),
    prevent Sophos to start automatically
    prevent the iTunes helper to start automatically
    use a new user profile
    deleting specific EFI (?) information holding some keys with the left and the right hand, waiting for three reboots
    Possible the last thing or the update to Lion may be the reason for the BSOD in Windows. Apple diagnostic does not show any errors in the system; I've used the intensive test, which takes 30 minutes.
    Apple support pleased me to load an update of the Bootcamp drivers, but in safe mode I cannot install them because the windows installer service can't be startet.
    So, that's my actual status.

  • Webcam VF0200 and Skype: not working

    I have the webcam VF0220, with the latest installed drivers (LCVM_PCDrv_1_01_01.EXE) and software (LCC_PCAPP_LA_2_02_05.exe) for WIndows XP SP3
    It does not work with the latest release of Skype.
    Before it was working correctly.
    Now, when I go to the option to configure video, it shows ASUS SGB as the only webcam and goes out with an error message.
    The webcam is working correctly with the othe software (like creative Live! Cam center).
    Any suggestion ?
    Thanks,
    R. Napoli

    I have the new Air also a few hours ago. Have the same issue. it wont login. it just keeps spinning. Facetime Beta works though. I hope Apple does not block skype because of their favor to Facetime. I have a strong believe here......
    I am surprised that you got if fixed by changing the incoming port to 8080 in skype prefs. I did the same, but no luck
    if **** hits the fan I might return the Air to apple. I truly hope they did not block something in the design in favor to Facetime

  • Internal Webcam and Microphone not working after Screen Fix

    I own a HP Envy Spectre XT Ultrabook, and last week I tried to use the webcam and the microphone for the first time in a few months.
    However I was shocked to find that Skype kept saying that the webcam was not detected. The microphone also could not register any sound.
    Device Manager did not show any imaging devices or the webcamera, even after setting it to view non-present devices.
    A check using msinfo32 did not review the webcamera either, and there were no problem devices.
    Control Panel >> Sound showed that the Internal Microphone using IDT High Definition Audio Codec was enabled and working, however it could not detect any sound. All drivers are checked to be up-to-date.
    I suspect this has something to do with the screen repair last month which a HP on-site technician came down to replace my screen, although I cannot be 100% sure. Although the screen is now working, the technician did not do a good job reassembling the screen - the bottom left corner of the screen cover has not be able to attach properly to the screen. 
    I have gone through my BIOS setup to make sure that there is no webcam disabled.
    I have tried rolling-back and reinstalling the drivers for the microphone but it did not work.
    I have tried uninstalling CyberLink YouCam (laptop preinstalled webcam software).
    Please help, these two components are very important to me as I am going overseas soon. The laptop is still under warranty.

    Hey ajun,
    Thank you very much for the information!
    For troubleshooting your Webcam, I would suggest taking a look at the document Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7). I would suggest the two options Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, ect.), and Webcam is not listed in Device Manager.
    For your internal microphone not working either, please take a look at the document Resolving Microphone and Line-in Problems (Windows 7). From this document, I would suggest following the top two symptoms.
    Please let me know the outcome of these troubleshooting steps.
    Good luck, and have a great day!

  • WebCAM and Fn+F5 or F6 does not work on T430 running Windows 8.1

    I recently updated to Windows 8.1. I did not check the functionality of the Fn+F5 or F6 button back then. But I did run Skype two days ago with my webcam and that worked.
    Then I ran windows and Lenovo system Update and updated all drivers except the Lenove Fingerprint, SHAREIT and the latest BIOS which are marked optional.
    Now, no application can access my camera and the Fn+F6 does nothing.
    I did go into the Windows privacy settings. Here Skype is on. there is no way to add apps, so e.g. I cannot add Teamviewer program or the Camera app.
    I tried settings under Skype, but checking the webcam just makes Skype become unresponsive with a running circle. Same thing happens runnning Irfanview and trying to aquire a picture thought the webca,
    I tried the Lenovo PC-Settings app. From the screenshots I think it is the old one I am getting. I can choose btw. Pointer,Wireless Power and location. Nothing about the webcam.
    I tried stating it via the Lenovo Companion.  Same problem.
    In the process overview (Procexp from MS) I see Cammute.exe used by  numerous processes
    So, what can I do now to get them back?

    I can't reproduce your issue. Definitely that CPU hanging is abnormal. I'd assume the cause is driver but you reinstalled that one. Perhaps some driver is located in the stack unproperly as there are too may components - system drivers, Lenovo PM driver, dependency settings, camera driver and settings, metro app... Also there is USB Composite controller the camera is attached to.
    The only solution I see is ... delete everything I've mentioned above and reinstall them again using TVSU. Then install metro app.
    Also in order to check USB driver influence I'd delete that driver too (delete USB composite controller in Device Manager). Reboot the system, Windows will find new component and install its driver. Do it before installation other components using TVSU.
    Also try to connect USB devices (flash drives as an example) to every USB port and look at their behaviour.

  • Qosmio X505 - System Recovery CD + webcam and graphics card driver

    I need some answers from anyone regarding my Toshiba Qosmio X505 notebook.
    I bought this notebook back in July of this year and I am having problems with it already.
    Number one, my most important concern is a system recovery disk. $1,500+ dollars I spent on this computer with a warranty it didn't come with any system recovery CD.
    Once a year on all my computers I like to reinstall Windows as it makes the computer brand new again (I constantly work and even go to school on my laptop so I can't help if scrap piles up on it and it slows down after a while). What am I to do about this?
    I think I read on this forums a while back that the computer came with something to create a backup disc.
    I found the program "Toshiba Recovery Media Creator" that appears to create a "System Recovery."
    Would this be what I am looking for to create a backup of the computers OS and preinstalled software? I want to keep all my Toshiba utilities as well as the required software to play Blu Ray movies.
    Number two, the web cam. This ain't a big deal as I hardly use it but sometimes when I start the computer I get an error message saying the web camera failed to initalize and then it doesn't work at all.
    What gives? This should automatically work!
    Number three, my graphics card/driver has been having some problems. Particurarily when I watch videos or run something like Windows Movie Maker. My screen will completely go black and and come back on and I get an error saying something like "NVidia has crashed and Recovered", I can't remember the exact error message, I archived it in Windows Error messages and it didn't save it for some reason. How do I fix this?
    I got the latest graphics card drivers from NVidia that were appropriate for this computer and for some reason it crashes alot.
    Any answers to these problems is appreciated.
    I love this laptop but at the same time for the price of it compared to a cheap $300 other laptop I don't expect to have any problems with the web camera or editing videos. This computer should have rock solid drivers.

    > I found the program "Toshiba Recovery Media Creator" that appears to create a "System Recovery."
    > Would this be what I am looking for to create a backup of the computers OS and preinstalled software?
    Yes, this is the tool which creates the Recovery Disk. The recovery disk allows you t set the notebook back to the factory settings.
    > Number two, the web cam. This ain't a big deal as I hardly use it but sometimes when I start the computer > I get an error message saying the web camera failed to initialize and then it doesn't work at all.
    > What gives? This should automatically work
    The webcam is controlled by Chicony webcam software. This software needs to be started in order to use the webcam. But also the 3rd party tools like MS messenger or Skype has an access to webcam and sometimes such tools can affect the webcam functionality.
    Its hard to say why this happens but mostly everything works properly. But from time to time its needed to reinstall the webcam software.

    This means that graphic card driver has crashed and has been started again.
    Usually the graphic card driver should sort out such issues.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC - Webcam and microphone issues

    When attempting to use Skype or other videochat programs, I receive an error messaage asking me to enable webcam/microphone.  I have gone into the control panel and checked that the integrated webcam and microphone are enabled.  Perhaps the programs/drivers behind the hardware have been removed? I am not very computer savvy, but I am sure the issue is not a virus. Any help appreiated.

  • Logitech C920 and Skype Video Calls

    So, the Logitech C920 I have worked before with Skype video calls with no problems. But after this new update, it doesn't detect the web cam anymore. I've googled, searched this forum, searched reddit and every possible form of help to only still not detect the web cam.
    I've used 6.22, 6.18,  and right now I'm on 6.14 and it still won't be detected. I've tried every USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 port I have on my rig.
    Now before someone tells me it's the web cam that's broken, the web cam works on Logitech's program, it works on twitch, it works on Microsoft's program as well. All drivers are up-to-date as well.
    Completely frustrated with this problem and I was wondering if posting it would be of any help.
    I am on Windows  8.1 Pro 64-bit as well.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Im having a similar issue. Logitech c920 no picture in SKYPE. Other apps are OK and SKYPE titles my webcam but it just a blank screen with spinning wheel in setting. Sound is OK.
    Im running Windows 7 64bit. I have uninstalled SKYPE and updated the drivers ( AMD Catalyst to 14.2 and also tested beta 15.4 ) with no change.
    Any help would be appreciated

  • Freetalk Conference webcam and Panasonic products ...

    Has anyone had success using a freetalk conference webcam with either a Panasonic smart tv or with a Panasonic blu ray player. I purchased a Panasonic Blu ray player and freetalk webcam from the Skype shop website and only the audio (no video) is being transmitted from the blu ray player on Skype. Skype, Panasonic, and Freetalk have no explaination for my issue, so I would like to know if anyone is successfully using the Freetalk webcam or if I should look to purchase the Pansonic brand webcam for my Panasonic blu ray player to use with Skype.

    I followed this link and it worked perfectly for my Freetalk webcam and Panasonic Plasma TV:

    why is my  built in webcam and mic on my hp pavilion dv6-6113cl not working?

    Enter the device manager and verify that the webcam is present and has a driver installed.
    1) Test your webcam by using the YouCam software that was delivered with your notebook. (you should also be able to test it with MSN or Skype setup). You may have to uninstall it and then reinstall the software.

  • Does Anyone Know If Mac is fixing it's Safari Webcam and Instant Messeng

    Does Anyone Know If Mac is fixing it's Safari Webcam and Instant Messenger Problems? It doesnt see webcams or if it DOES Instant MESSENGER wont...?
    Thanks!

    This is the printing and faxing section, so you'll probably not get much help here.
    If you're referring to MS Messenger, that's down to Microsoft. They rarely update the Mac version of Messenger, and it doesn't support video calls / conferencing. Try Skype, that's multi-platform and works with my iSight camera.

  • Facebook and skype notifications

    I have a lumia 920 and can't get fb and skype notifications work.
    The worked just after the installation of the apps, but then they stopped working.
    The apps are fine, I just don't see toast nor tile notifications.
    Any ideas? This isn't a borderline issue for a smartphone..
    Fabio

    I'm not talking about FB chat. That is ok on my phone.
    I'm referring to facebook notifications instead (comments, likes and so on):
    Me tile has too much limited functionalities (for instance no groups notifications..), thus I installed FB Microsoft app.
    In the app notifications are sometimes working. But most of the time I couldn't get them, even after a long time after their publishing.
    It seems to be a facebook app issue in this case, but is it possible on a smartphone to lack social functionalities like this? I'm not talking about minor socials web sites, but Facebook.
    The forum is plenty of topics describing exactly this issue, but no solutions yet.
    Does someone have any news?

  • Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

    Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
    5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.
