Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Just finished a meeting and I was the only one in the dark, what a mess. Thanks again

[TheNewLemurian]

Thank you so much. Through your video I discovered that my FaceTime build-in camera can only be used by one app at a time. I went to Forced Quit and found that Preview app was on. The moment I closed that app, my video came on in Zoom. No where else was this information disclosed until I found your How to video. So a great big THANK YOU from me. 🙏

When I go to the zoom's video settings I don't see my self, instead I see a black box

[mitaharacoaching]

Thank you so much! I was struggling for weeks with the issue that my external webcam was not available for zoom. Now with your video, I understand what the issue was!! Made my day :-)

Wasn't sure what to expect from this video, but changing / updating the windows 10 settings did it for my laptop camera... Nice !! Thanks much !!

[johnsonrob]

OMG - thank you so much!!! I can't believe how a single Windows 10 setting (Allow apps to access your camera) has caused me so much of a headache. I even bought a new webcam because of it... Thank you for making it so straight forward to resolve.

I am having my first at home Zoom meeting tomorrow. My first during this pandemic. I am using my own laptop and never really used my laptop camera before. Your video really helped me figure out why it would not turn on. Thank you so much 👍😊

I'm not getting options except integrated webcam in video settings.

[michaeltimj]

my problem was "only one application can use the webcam". Turned off the other application and boom! Problem fixed! Thanks men.

[MariaMaria-dfww]

Thankyou so much for this!! My image was pixelated on Zoom only, the past few days. I finally hit on your info here, and, YAY-iwent in and realized it wasn't set to HD. Who knows, i have a house panther who walks on my board a lot...LOL. Just wanted to say thankyou . Im rather tech-challenged, and, your info was a lifesaver.

I’m in zoom right now and their is no option for camera

[joanndouglas]

Thanks so much. I was able to resolve my camera/zoom issue with your video. Your instructions were so easy to follow.

Using Windows 7 still, internal camera. The video works if I'm doing a one-on-one but not being recognized in group Zooms, although it used to work. Did Zoom make a change in the past several weeks regarding recognizing the video?

[streich]

Virtual background is perfectly clear - however, my image in the foreground appears 'shaky or blurred' around the edges. Is there a way to correct that?

[alijahsantos]

What about the integrated camera, mine doesn’t work despite everything you said

[gameonhighlights]

You're amazing dude, i just fixed my camera, I attended a lot of interviews with no camera, coz I don't know how to fix it. Thanks for your guide, it helps me a lot.

I have checked all of the items in this video, however, I still have an intermittent problem with my camera in zoom. Suddenly the camera freezes of its own accord and the slash through the icon at the bottom of my screen appears there without my changing it. Sometimes the screen goes blank or there are lines across it. When I try to turn the video back on again, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Do you think this is a hardware or software problem? I have a Windows Lenovo Yoga.

i don't even have a external web cam and I've been resetting my computer and it still hasn't been working

[darrensurrey]

I've got one stubborn camera that USED to work last year but stopped working. I thought it was dead so bought a replacement. Then I noticed that the camera software in W10 still saw through it, so Zoom is ignoring this camera. Weirdly, Zoom is happy to work with a Sony Playstation EyeToy camera (with the driver installed manually)! Any suggestions? I've even tried reinstalling Zoom as one website mentioned.

I was watching a recording of my zoom class to take my notes, and I saw my face was frozen and it showed it but my camera was off the whole time? I’ve always been noticing when I’m about to join my class my camera flashes and when they let me in my camera is automatically on
