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!
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!
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!
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!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I VISITED OTHER TUTORIAL BUT THEY WENT AROUND THE BUSH-DID NOT HELP!BUT WITH YOU, WITH JUST 1 CLICK ,MY CAM I OPENED!!!HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Omg!! My camera has a slide on top and I never knew! You literally made my day! 2 days of trying to figure out what was wrong with my camera and it was just a simple thing I never knew!!! Thank You Thank You!!!
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
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.
OMG! I did not realise i had a slider to cover the camera. Thank you for your pragmatic and clear approach - i leant alot from the rest of the video too!
On my laptop it's f10...worked! Thank you so much, such a simple fix. Tried updating drivers, doing windows updates, resetting the camera, but this did the trick. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! Step No. 1 worked On my laptop it's f10...! Such a simple fix. Tried updating drivers, doing Windows updates, and resetting the camera, but this did the trick. Thanks again!
You're a genius!I've watched tons of videos on how to fixed my camera and none has worked.I just clicked f10 and walllaaa, easy peezyyyy..Thanks you so much.
I was in panic mode because I have to do a video for my Public Speaking course and my brand new laptop's camera/video wasn't working! F8 did the trick! Thanks you!
THANK YOU!! I've watch 3 different videos on this issue. NONE mentioned anything about the sliding feature you mention @1:17. That fixed my issue. Thanks
hahaha here i am missing half my lectures without my camera on, and apologizing to teachers over and over again, yet the whole time it was just the f8 button! THANK YOU
brother i spent 3 hours trying to fix my camera and finally stumbled across your video and step 1 fixed the problem thank you so very much :))) , I finally fixed it thanks to youu, I hope you get whatever it is that you desire!
OMG..You're a LifeSaver. I didn't know about the slider thing for turning the camera off..It wasn't in the directions or even mentioned in the literature of the Laptop. Thank You again..!
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 just have to say that solution 2 was my issue, I have the Asus and Windows ten. I've had this issue for months and solved it in seconds... Had to hit F10. I wish all life's problems were this easy :') thank you so much!!
I am running Win10pro on a 2017 Lenovo MXii 520 tablet, I have tried all your suggestions and still when I click on the camera I see a have a black screen with the the message "We can't find your camera" error code: 0xA00F4244 I have tested this Lenovo with UBUNTU ver 24.04 boot and it also says "No Camera Found" Back in Win10 Pro when I pull up the Device Manager There are error icons on 2 Drivers listed under System Devices, these drivers are the same with the name "Camera Sensor OV5670" I have attempted to update the drivers, removed and reinstalled and still the error remains. 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?
Hey I can't see my image even after hitting F8 key. The camera icon with a cross still appears even after hitting F8 and my lap has updated camera too....Any idea?
@filipjtech , my laptop has the last one issue but in device manager i donot finding imaging devices option there..help me to fix it. pls my laptop name is mi notebook 14
Good morning, the method 2 worked for me. Just clicked the camera/slash button and it turned on, haha. How simple it seems now. Thanks Filip, now I am ready for my interview :P
My God! Bruh you helped me 100%. All the other RUclipsrs were telling me fuckery about going into device manager, install, reinstall, going into firewall blah blah blah. I feel stupid.
@@filipjtech Camera was not working but it turns out that all I had to do was to press F8🤣🤣 I feel so stupid. I never had that issue before when I got a new laptop.
I have another Camera Problem. If I start an app like Google Meet the camera screen appears, but then the name of the selected camera changes to "Platsec". I deactivated Windows Firewall and gave via Settings access to all apps to my camera but nothing changes. The strange thing is that the camera does not even show up in the device manager, even I let the system rescann all devices, it does not appear at all. Anay idea?
i love this!!! you saved my life!!! ffs. i downloaded and went to all of the settings of my browser and my laptop too. took a little while and a lopt more video watching before i watched this video. why didnt the other videos say or show this shortcut? imma cry
Appreciate it bro.. I had an interview earlier and couldn't use my laptop because of new updates so I did it on my phone. Nonetheless, I found this video afterwards and I hit F10 on my keyboard and it popped right on. You helped alot.
@@filipjtech Yes u really help me last night I am struggling with my daughters new lenovo laptop . Actually she don't want to showher face in zoom class. She just turn off F8, that was the key point I lost and searching every where I found u randomly m Big Ty.🙏🏼
My webcam is just...dark. Like it's bright as hell but it never really brightens up until I put like my phone flashlight on me and then it brightens up a bit. How do I fix it?
Watched around 10 videos and was planning to uninstall and install when I found about the small slider from you. Cant believe how simple it was , feeling silly myself :)
