Hello everyone, Welcome to another tutorial from windows lovers.com and today in this
tutorial, I'm gonna show you how to fix your
camera issues with Microsoft teams there
might be different reasons why your camera is
not working and we can tackle some of
the major issues or major reasons why
your camera is not working with
Microsoft teams so let's get started
[Music]
first things first I would check is I've
got to make sure your camera is
functional as an if there's no hardware
issues with your camera the best way or
the quickest way to check that is to
open your default camera app in Windows
10 To do that, just click on start, type
camera and just open the camera app and
as you can see mine says we need the
permissions so what you can if you see
something like this you can fix it
quickly by going to privacy settings
but if you don't see this or if it says
your camera is not connected or if it
says or if you see yourself in the
camera but it's not working in your
Microsoft teams that means there's some
issues with Microsoft teams and not your
actual camera but if you do not see your
camera working here or if it says the
camera is not connected and make sure
your camera's connected or something
like that you're gotta make sure that
there's no hardware issue with the
camera that's connected to your laptop
or your computer so for me it's saying
we need your permission so what I'm
gonna do is I'm gonna click on privacy
settings as you can see under allow apps
to access your camera is off. so what I'm
gonna do is, I'm going to turn it on and
I'll close it now and it's click on OK
on OK and as you can see the camera is
working and now since we know that
the camera is working I'm gonna open
Microsoft teams. I'm gonna quickly go
into settings
devices and you've got to make sure You
got a check under camera depending you
might have a different name but you've
got to make sure your camera is working
the second scenario is where your
Microsoft teams does not detect your
camera So, if I open Microsoft
teams and if I go into settings and
check the device settings as you can see
it says camera none. But if I go and
open my camera app, you can see the
camera is working so in that case what
you can do is you can check if the
drivers are up to date you can even try
to reinstall the drivers so to do that, we
gotta open the device manager right
click on your computer and click on
manage click on device manager under
cameras just expand it and depending on
what you see, if you do not see any
cameras listed here that means your
camera is not installed or there might
be a hardware issue with a camera. But if
you can see your camera is installed and
if you can open it from the cameras app
but no microsoft teams, I will suggest you
to reinstall or update the driver so
right click on it I'm clicking an update
driver and click on search automatically
for Driver software we go online for
drive and most of times It will say that
the latest drivers are already installed
alright so as you can see it says the
best drivers for device are already
installed so if you did get an update
that's good if you did not get an update
but your camera is working, we have
another fix for that so what I would do
is what happens is sometimes your
settings your Microsoft teams is stuck
in a different setting or it's in
different mode so when you close
Microsoft team's app from the cross
button it actually does not close the
app what it does it actually minimizes
the app so it's always running in the
background so any change in the settings
or any driver issue or any driver
changes or driver updates happens it
does not properly apply to that so what
I would do is you would go here and then
you can find Microsoft teams is still
running so right click on it and click
on quit
and now It's actually closed so I'm
gonna go back and open Microsoft teams
and now if I go back and check my
settings check my devices and as you can
see the camera is back up
