Laptop Camera Not Working - How to Fix Webcam on Windows 10/11 (2023)

[@Cracaphat]

Couldn't believe how simple it was just pushing the F8 button!! Thanks a lot.

[@filipjtech]

You're welcome!

[@RoqueFortStu]

I had the same issue! I searched for answers, most of which said "change settings, make sure you allow apps to access your camera" etc. but none said to just press the function key, not even Microsoft's own help bots!

[@VixenTowanna]

I KNOW!!!! i feel kinda dumb rn lol

[@VixenTowanna]

@@filipjtech Thank you so much! good thing your video was first that popped up on google search lol

[@geraldudeaba6085]

You just helped me solve the problem. Just clicked f8, tried and it began to work.

[@JJMoore-uq4bc]

You saved me, my guy! #2 helped big time haha! My son is doing online schooling (kindergarten) and apparently hit F8 accidentally. I immediately went to YT to see WTF was going on with his camera not working. Thanks again Filip!

[@filipjtech]

Great to hear that! The little one know from now on.

[@pierrecadieux8035]

Hi five for the F10! I must have pressed it inadvertently when cleaning my keyboard. You saved me time and money with your video. Thanks again and have a great new year man!

[@KANISHKPRANITA]

Same issue! What a relief.

[@katikurrik1936]

Fantastic, I had spent hours fixing my camera and then you told to press F8. Brilliant!

[@filipjtech]

Sometimes its the simple things that work

[@glennfleming9137]

just spent ages trying to sort out camera problem through windows, without success. Watched your tutorial sorted in 2 seconds!! Thank you!

[@debbiewarner3080]

OMG! I have spent HOURS trying to figure out my camera's problem, uninstalling and reinstalling this that and the other to no avail. And you solved my problem in Step No 1! I have had this laptop for over 2 years and did not know about the slider. You can't really see it, so I had no idea it was there. The camera had always worked ... until one day when it didn't. So I've been using my phone for video calls until I got this problem solved. Just slid that tiny little tab over and voila, problem solved! Perfect! Thank you so very much!

[@filipjtech]

You're very welcome. Glad you are able to finally use the camera again.

[@pramodpise6098]

i trying to solve these problem from last two day by watching many videos.... and you solve it just by clicking one button... so impressive.... great work, thanks

[@filipjtech]

Glad it helped you out. I'm assuming your camera was disabled on the function key

[@pramodpise6098]

Thank you so much. I was art it for about an hour and a half trying to figure this out. My issue was that I had my camera off. It was a simple Fn+F6.

[@lissydesvoigne6336]

Thank you!!! It was the F8 (on my laptop F10) button. This was driving me crazy and your video was so helpful.

[@shaktiallen5658]

I watched three other videos before I got to this one and was just about to give up and call a tech. So glad you saved me the $$$ and embarrassment of hitting the F10 key. Thanks.

Filip, none of these are my problems with the Lenovo Yoga. For me, my camera will be on and working and then it will start to glitch until it eventually turns off completely. If I try to turn it back on it will work for a little bit and then do the same thing again. Ive tried everything suggested for me online. Could use some help, thanks.

I have gone to Lenovo and let their auto program scan and install any missing drivers, then I have manually installed the 2 Lenovo Camera drivers (one from 2017 and one from 2019) multiple times, I have wiped the drive and reinstalled the drivers on a fresh install of Win10pro X 2. I have installed all windows updates and now I have run out of ideas. Do you have any suggestions?
