Why does not the camera on the laptop work?

Video calling is very popular today. It allows you to communicate with all people, even with those who are on another continent, and as if the person is sitting next to you. And this service is now a penny. And the process itself is quite simple.

But for you to have the opportunity to communicate in this way, you need to have a webcam. If after connecting the device you do not have a camera on your laptop or computer, you need to configure it. Let us consider in more detail how to do this.

Suppose the camera does not work on the Asus laptop. On her example, and will continue to be given all the necessary recommendations. After all, they can be applied to devices of other manufacturers. If you do not have a camera on your Acer laptop, you can also fix it. So, let's start with laptops.

Since the "webcam" is already built in, it must be connected and made special settings. The main thing is that the necessary drivers are loaded for this device. If you install the operating system "Seven", then most likely, it will detect it yourself. If the camera on the laptop does not work after that, ensure connection to the Internet. After that, your "Seven" can "pull" the necessary software from the network.

Please note that the camera will not turn on just like that. It will only function when the necessary software is running. Run Skype or another similar software to test the device. If the camera on the laptop does not work after that, then, most likely, it's the drivers. You can get them from the disk that comes with the device in the kit or on the official website of the laptop manufacturer.

With laptops figured out, now let's talk a little about fixed devices, or rather about how to set up a "webcam" on the computer. The first thing to do is connect it to a USB port. If the operating system database contains the necessary drivers, the computer will be able to recognize the camera itself. In case of their absence, you also have to install them yourself from the disk or from the official site.

For many video communication devices in the set there are special utilities that allow you to adjust the clarity of the image, the quality of the video signal and so on. Most of them are able to produce these settings in their own interface. But you should not forget about the technical characteristics, as well as your situation (room lighting and stuff).

And finally, I want to say a few words about how to configure in Skype. It is quite easy to do this. Run this program, log in or register. After that, go to the tools tab and select the settings section there. You will open the window that is responsible for the installation. Find the "Basic" section in the left menu and click on the video settings tab. All, you will see the necessary window in which you can set the necessary parameters.

Here, perhaps, that's all. Now you know what to do when the camera does not work on a laptop or computer.
