For more solutions to the problem, if the Skype-Webcam not working
- Operation: it is possible that Skype can access the Webcam, because it is still being used by another program. You can close this. Flashes or Lights up a lamp next to the Webcam, it is a sign that it is already being used.
- Function Check: do not Check whether the Webcam only works with Skype or whether the Problem lies in the camera itself. Use either a Software already installed on your Computer or in the chat room. Users of Windows 8 can use the camera App.
- Skype update: Download the latest Version of Skype and install it or you can use the Update function within the program. Especially in the case of severely outdated versions of such problems can occur.
- Update driver, If your Webcam is not working outside of Skype, you should update the driver. Either on the manufacturer's Homepage, or via the device Manager. How the latter works, read them in this picture gallery.
- Windows Updates: Often driver for Webcams on Windows Update are provided. Therefore install always the latest Updates.
- Reinstall: If none of the above helps, do a complete Uninstall and then a Re-Installation of Skype. The Installer you can here download.
