We tried this with the customer’s Zoom Application and the same thing would happen. Windows did reinstall the integrated webcam but when we started the Windows Camera application you can see that it was scanning for hardware for about 2 seconds then it would fail. We tried all the usual items like uninstalling the driver for the integrated webcam, rebooting, and scanning for hardware changes.

Today we ran into a Dell Inspiron running Windows 10 (the Dell Inspiron is an all in one desktop not a laptop) webcam that simply would not show video. We are working overtime to service our customers as quickly as possible. Considering the times we are in, Boxaid phone calls are through the roof. Sometimes it’s critical to use the webcam when you are accustomed to meeting co-workers or contacts in a physical space. Sometimes you can get by without the webcam functionality especially if you just rolled out of bed. These applications work well to share presentations, talk, whiteboard and in many cases you can see the other party over a webcam. We communicate with our customers over a regular phone connection but many other businesses are using applications like Zoom, Webex, or Skype. We realized the benefit of this 13 years ago when we opened our doors. We at Boxaid of course have all our employees working from home. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.We are shifting to a remote workforce in these times of COVID 19, and while for many workers in the United States that is the norm it can be a big shift for others. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver.

It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.
