Solving built-in webcam issues:
-
Go to Device Manager

Check if all hardware is installed properly and recognized by the system. There is a possibility that the camera is being recognized but the right drivers may have not been installed properly (marked by a yellow exclamation point)
-
Update the driver software or install the driver itself
-
 If the issue persists, just uninstall your webcam’s software from ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS page found in the CONTROL PANEL
-
Restart your computer then re-install the software
-
Once your driver has been reinstalled and/or updated but you are still having the same issue, please check your settings for the program or application you are trying to use the webcam for (Skype) in case it needs to be configured and set it up properly to successfully use the webcam
