Skype cannot detect camera

[ottadini]

In both Skype for desktop, and Skype for Business, my camera is not detected. See screenshots.

I've tried a few things as suggested in various places, but nothing's changed. I'm just going to list some details now, any help greatly appreciated!

-----

My camera works, and I can use it with the Camera app (from Microsoft Store).

Under Device Manager, my camera is listed under "Cameras", however most support articles assume that it should be listed under "Imaging Devices". I do not have a section called "Imaging Devices".

I have tried to update drivers.

I have used HP's drivers page to install the HP Universal Camera Driver:

"Description:

Version:

2015.10.16299.3 Rev.A

Operating systems:

Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi

2 things I have done to get a working camera, installed Cheese

and changed the permissions for Skype, like run it as Admin.

ah-hah, so running Skype as Admin works!

What do I need to do to make my camera accessible to any user then??
