Why is my laptop’s webcam not working in video calls?

< 1 min read

  1. Check if the webcam has been disabled in the device under ‘Privacy’ settings.

  2. Ensure that all necessary drivers have been installed for the device. Visit the manufacturer’s website for updated drivers, if needed.

  3. Ensure the device is not in a ‘Do not disturb’ mode, as this can block some programs from utilizing the camera.

  4. Verify the webcam is plugged in, if not a connected, external one.

  5. Ensure the camera is not being blocked by any privacy covers or settings.

  6. If necessary, restart the device or computer and open the video call program.
