Re: web cam

It appears your notebook uses the cyberlink youcam software to work the camera.

 

Below is the link to the W7 software which hopefully will get the camera to work for you.

Hi:

 

If you are clicking on the Cyberlink YouCam link I posted above, I just tested it and it works fine for me.

Re: web cam

@110-4108tuI see that you're having an issue with the webcam. It seems like you're having an issue with the webcam software. 

 

Please follow this document which will guide you through a couple of steps on how to resolve this issue you're having. 

 

The document should something like this:

 

Capture.PNG

 

 

 

 

You will to follow the two sections I circled. 

The first section "Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, etc.)" will guide you through a couple of trouble shooting steps to get the webcam to work within these programs. 

 

If the first step doesn't resolve the issue please go to step #2 "Reinstalling the original webcam program that came with your computer”. This section will guide you through recovering the webcam software and drivers. This is the most important steps in the document if nothing before this resolves the issue. 

 

Please follow up with me and let me know if any of these steps work.

Re: web cam

Hello esha10,

 

Download the driver and let me know if that helps resolve your issue.

 

Good luck!
