Various software products are becoming an increasingly popular means of communication and communication, among which Skype is especially popular. A camera for skype is the main means of communication. This is a window that allows you to see the interlocutor, to feel it. We can say that this allows you to even visit, without leaving your apartment. A very convenient and practical solution, which is becoming more and more popular every day.
Quite often there are situations when the camera does not work on Skype. Most users panic and carry their equipment to the nearest service center. But, as practice shows, this is not a big problem to attract outside specialists. It can be solved independently and for this you do not need to have special knowledge.
We start by checking the camera connection. It connects with only one wire with a USB interface. One of the most common reasons that the camera does not work on Skype is the pulled out connector from the contact group of the motherboard. Everything must be securely installed.
Next, you need to run a test on the performance of the video device. At the initial stage, you need to check how well the drivers are installed and whether they are at all. This also leads to the fact that the camera does not work on Skype. For this check, you must go to the task manager. To do this, call the context menu by pressing the right button of the manipulator on the “My Computer” label. In the drop-down list, select the item "Properties". In the window that appears, left-click on the tab “Device Manager”. Next, in the window that opens, you need to track the status of the webcam. Various emergency icons near this device are not allowed. If there are messages about problems with the camera, it is recommended to reinstall the driver on it. If no problems are found, all windows close, proceed to the next step.
Next, run the program and check if the camera does not work on Skype. To do this, we go after loading the application in the tools menu and the settings sub-item. Next, move to the "Video Settings" tab. In the window that opens, watch the test image - of your beloved on the monitor screen in real time. If the image does not appear, then look at the settings here. Be sure to indicate your camera as the source of the video signal. To do this, select the necessary device in the drop-down list.
If all of the above does not help and the webcam on Skype does not work, it is possible to update the system or program. You may also need to install an old version of this application. Especially if the device is not very fresh. In such a situation, it is better to seek help from a qualified professional for help. It is difficult to perform such manipulations independently without special training. And the result from their incorrect execution can be disastrous.
