Lenovo laptop integrated WebCam camera not working I was able to fix it by updating Windows 10 and updating WebCam driver
All I had to do was press the camera button on f8. I feel so dumb. Thank you so much
You’re comment just helped me fix it after 3 years of being stupid
3 years...? Congrats on fixing it tho lol
thank god you wrote this haha thats a year of me not being able to use my webcam, youre a legend
thank you!
You just have to pres f8?
My computer has a habit of doing this with the camera and it's now getting easier for me to remember how to do it each time. I don't know how I would survive without people like yourself making the effort to film what you've done. Thank you so much.
Thank you Amer, my daughter could not use her laptop for online classes because the camera was not working. Your vid helped me get this fixed... I am now a Super Dad!
02:33 Thank you Amer! I was experiencing the same camera fail as you. That is when I tried to run (for example) Zoom, the camera in the app showed and icon of a camera with a line drawn through it (just like you showed). I followed your instructions. At 02:33 you took me to the Lenovo app and the "Device/Display and Camera" menu item.
When I scrolled down, I saw that "Camera Privacy Mode" was turned on. Apparently I had enabled that (turned off the camera) at some time in the past, just to keep anyone from "accidentally spying on me with my own camera). ... So I turned off that Privacy Mode (turning on the camera) and the camera then worked fine.
Thanks again Amer!
This was a life saver! I had to help my elder dad virtually, who is uncomfortable with technology. Your video was the answer. If only you could hear us cheering. Thank you!
thank you sm i was in the middle of class freaking out 😭😭
i was freaking out my school hasent started yet and i was gonna ask the school for a computer
BRUH SAME😭😭😭
Me too I had started crying and everything
Did it work?
this absolutely work
Thank you! Both my camera and microphone suddenly stopped working and I couldn't figure out why. Turns out Lenovo Vantage didn't have permission to use my microphone or camera and I just needed to enable that. Thank you for the quick and easy tutorial
3:31 is when he actually explains how to fix it.
Lol I pressed the privacy button
Omg... this whole time I just needed to press F8... wtf...
Yo you just saved me 6 mins 😂 thanks
Hahaha, thanks for the tip. You saved me watching a video and also buying a new laptop because I almost threw mine against the wall!!!!
For all of u where the camera is just showing a black screen:
Check if it has a lens cover and whether it is closed. There is usually a small plastic strip that slides over.
Took me a month to figure that out smh
Lol rip
Omg!!! Thank you!!! This was it! I'm relieved!
Thank you..really helped me..
Hello I removed it before opening my laptop and still have a black screen any idea on what I should do?
Thanks.. You saved me :) I was did all and finally your comment helped me..
This is crazy. My laptop camera hasn't worked in MONTH's and I just had to hit one button. I am so embarrassed over this....so many zoom calls with a grey screen. Thank you for this video!
at 3:06 my camera started working even though I had already switched the privacy settings off through in the camera settings ( without using Lenovo Vantage ) thank you sir

Thank you. This really worked. My son was struggling with his online classes and we could not fix it. Followed your instructions and it perfectly worked. Thank you again.
same here but follow video instruction perfectly and its worked
ik man my issue is that "Camera Privacy Mode" was enabled in Lenovo vantage this whole time and i was not aware of it.
same here
oh thanks! I had the same issue
Sameee
I have been trying to fix my camera for over a year. I have tried everything and nothing has worked. I just found this video about 20 minutes ago and finally my camera is working again. Thank you!!
Glad I could help!
"Make sure your camera is turned on. If you have a newer model Lenovo laptop (2018 and newer), there may be a switch near the camera that either covers or opens the built-in Lenovo camera lens. If it is closed any app that uses the camera will show a blank image. Check this switch to make sure your camera is not disabled." I did this as recomended and it was a switch near my webcam I did not even notice and it fixed it!
Thank you so much for making this video. I thought I was going to have to buy a new computer, but thanks to your tutorial, I got my Lenovo camera working properly again! You are a lifesaver!
I did everything he did but my camera screen is now balcked out
@@meer1288 did you fix it?
Following your instructions after I had tried to update the driver, I thought I had it at one point, but ended up having to uninstall as instructed in your video. It's been driving me crazy. Thank you for making this video
Was about to give up fixing this and buy a new computer. So you saved me at least $1,000! Appreciate you sharing!
Thank you. You are a life safer. I did too many interviews on my phone because the camera on my laptop wasn't working. Now, I can finally do the interviews on my laptop. God bless you!!!
Short, simple and to the point. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! You saved me so much aggravation AND that embarrassing call for help to the boss.
Before uninstalling anything. Try this. Please.
Check your function keys on the keyword. It probably has a function key if pressed the camera goes off. Happend with me. I didn't uninstall any integrated camera. For me, it was just I pressed f8 (for my keyboard) accidentally and it went off until I pressed it again. Uff!
Worked for me too. Something tells me the uninstall just sets the camera back to default, which would include being on.
Thanks, it worked
Thanks. It works! I was anxious of uninstalling something. Big thanks!
Thank you...
Thank you...
Mr. Khaqan: After searching through different forums and following various advice, I was very excited to discover your video. You solved the problem in a few minutes! Thank you very much! :)
I spend two days going crazy trying to find out what was wrong with the laptop. Thanks a bunch
Thank you SO much! I was getting so frustrated and your tutorial saved the day! Simple solution, but not easy for the lay person like me to find. Camera up and running again. Thanks!
absolutely correct
Press on f8.. Ur comment was awesome.. It worked for metoo
Hi Amer Khaqan. Thank you very much for your posting. Very useful.
Your outline was terrific. It worked well for me with my Lenovo Camera "EasyCamera".
Now I am back in business.
However, I need to say this to the Lenovo and Windows companies, I wish the software that performs the Device Driver Updates could < pre-diagnose > the state of the Camera instead of just replacing the Device Driver and compromising the operational health of the Computer.
And in this case the Camera "EasyCamera" Device Driver for Lenovo laptops. Maybe we need an engineer that can postulate this technological advantage and get it done. And just like you said Amer Khaqa. In these days ... who has the time, and money to send your laptop computer for maintenance?
Take care Mr. Amer Khaqan.
Thanks a lot for your detailed comments and I am happy that it helped you.
Thank you! I thought I was going to have to buy a new laptop. I'm on virtual video conferences all day long and can't be without my camera. I downloaded updates and drivers and no luck. Turns out, the privacy setting must have gotten turned on during a recent update or something. Turned it off, and now it works just fine. Really appreciate you sharing the steps you went through to get it working!!!
sir, you have been a life-saver! i've been facing the same problem for the longest time n always felt disappointed since neither the Lenovo pages nor any online forums simplify anything the way you did. thanks a ton for sharing.. much needed!! hope you face more issues with your laptop n keep fixing them smartly this way n sharing videos :P for the benefit of people like me :P company wale toh apne paas hi bulvayenge n you said it right, we cant afford that :/ so thanks again! :) regards.
THANK YOU SOOO MUUUUCCCCHHHH !!! SUCH A LIFESAVER!!!
Thank u
Thank you Amer, I came across your video this afternoon and managed to get my camera and video going after watching it. I am very grateful. :)
You are most welcome
You will save your self a huge amount of time by pushing the sliding camera button to the right.
PS: See on top of camera for button.
If problem still persist, go through these steps in the video.
I followed your exact steps, on a different model and it worked perfectly! Thanks so much.
aah thank you!! I've been going crazy not knowing how to get my camera to work! It was just a matter of turning off the privacy mode! THANK YOU!
ThankYou So Much..
How do you turn it off
Thanks so much! All of a sudden my Lenovo laptop camera stopped working. I tried to fix it via its own settings, this didn't work. But when I followed your steps to the Lenovo App, one of the privacy buttons was off which caused the whole camera to not work. I turned this on and the camera started working again. Have a good week.
I was almost giving up (have seen many videos before, none of them worked). BUT... your video saved the day! THANK YOU!
Thank you! I spent hours today with the IT department remotely trying to figure this out (which they couldn’t) but your instructions worked first time! You’re a legend!
This was a big help! Thank you, uninstalling and restarting solved the problem!
Thanks a lot! I was in an exam, I was panicking as my teacher said she will not accept my paper if camera is not working so I went through many videos finally found your video I opened the video with no hope but got fixed. Your video helped me so much!
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much! I’ve watched other videos and was told not to select the “delete the driver software from your device” box before selecting “uninstall.” I’m so glad that it worked. I’ve been trying to get my camera to work for over two hours! Thank you!!!! Namaste 🙏🏾
3:07 actually it's worked
Thank you! I only needed to get a third of the way into your video to get the help I needed to sort my camera (and this was after spending quite a bit of time online before finding your video). A simple click on one button on the screen was all that was needed. Thank you!
wow it just worked! that privacy mode caused my camera not showing. who ever hit the dislike button must not be able to follow your very easy instruction. such a life saver brother thankyou!
Thanks a ton for this video. I was going nuts because the camera wasn't working and it was just 3 month old laptop. You are a life saver. God bless
Do this really work? Im so depressed on my laptop rn because the camera isn't working
@@katrose7838 thank you so much bruh ❤🙌
Thank you very much for the video!! Not being a tech savvy, I was worried about not knowing what to do to make my camera work. These were easy steps to follow.
Thanks very much Amer. I followed your instructions and just fixed mine. Now I can have my zoom meetings again. Namaste 🙏
Friends camera didn't work for years. I checked and the camera icon was never seen in the Device Manager directory. After updating Levano utility and win10, it magically appeared. I deleted it and made it rescan for this hardware, and the icon reappeared. After that, Camera and Zoom work great. Thanks again.
I was freaking out about how I thought I broke my camera when it turns out I accidently hit F8. My dad helped me fix it. I feel stupid now.
almost 2 hours fixing my camera and there you go! thank you so much such a big help
My Wifes Lenovo Laptop Zoom Camera didn't work during her Business Womens meeting and come home quite despondent, intending to go to purchase a separate camera . I checked your site and am eternally grateful for your information which solved the problem.Thank you so much !!
Thank you so much. I thought my camera was damaged. Your video was very helpful.
3:03 yes it works thanks so much
Worked for me as well! I was so frustrated.
I couldn't appear for exam because of this issue 😭😭 damn you lenovo.All I had to do is press f8.
When camera is error and available if I press f8 in online exam it will work or not 🤷🏻♂️ reply me
Finally! After a week of following different video tutorials (I even got my USB webcam destroyed trying to fix it), my Lenovo integrated camera is now working. Thank you so much!
Glad I could help!
Works every time! I don't know what is up with my laptop because I have to redo the process every few weeks/months (not sure exactly how often because I don't use the camera often, and time has no meaning in a pandemic). Thank you!
Thank you so much! I tried with the F8 button and nothing happened. I have a job interview tomorrow, your video saved me!
Best of luck in your interview
OMG Thank you Mr Amer this really helped me a lot I've had to skip the last three steps because I got the access to turning off the privacy mode.....
I was so worried as I needed the camera the next day for the online exam. Thank you so much for sharing the video I was able to fix it just right on time. Such a big help.
be sure to switch the camera cover. look if there is a red mark. if so, slide it to the right
Thank you so much that was the issue I was having. I never even noticed that little slider.
Thank you very much.
Even though I felt dumb, at least I can use my camera now. You're a savior!
Thanks! In school days, the camera privacy mode automatically turned on so I had to turn it off and then it worked again
yea like on zoom i had to use a holde new camera lol
Its really fantastic troubleshoot done by you. i follow your steps and now my laptop camera is working. Earlier i tried everything like camera button on off, camera shutter on off, privacy mode on off, bla bla bla. finally i follow your troubleshoot steps and here i am writing this positive comment. Thank God......Finally my Camera Start Working.
Thanks Amer, had exactly the same issue and your instructions worked perfectly!
Glad it helped
had the same exact problem, did as you suggested, it worked perfectly! thanks for posting this, it was a huge help
I've been trying to figure this out for a year. Thank you so much!
had an interview yesterday, and just when the meeting was about to start i realized that laptop camera was not turning on. The issue was the privacy mode was turned on.
I wasn't able to fix the issue at that moment. But luckily the interviewer asked me to take a video call using cell and we were good. We talked for about an hour and a half. He's asked me to come to office for another round.
How do u turn off privacy mode
@@divaily , in the search bar type 'Lenovo'.
The Lenovo app will appear, click on the app
Once you open the Lenovo app, on the top right you will see
'Dashboard' 'Device' 'Security' 'Support'
Click on 'Device'
Then click on 'Display and Camera'
Under the camera section, you will see a switch called 'Privacy Mode on'
You can turn on/off that switch.
Thanks a lot Amer, I was struggling for weeks to enable the camera, visited several websites including lenov and couldnt find a solution. Finally got it fixed after watching your video.
Bravo! Your guide was just what I was hopping to get out of my problem: A solution. Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOURE ACTUALLY GOOD AT THIS
Thank you for taking the time to create this video! I had the same problem with my camera and despite updating and restarts, the camera would not function until I uninstalled the driver in the devise manager. Once I did this and restarted, it works! Hallelujah!
Really appreciate you.
Glad it helped!
This worked for me. I'd been living with this for a year. I just assumed the internal hardware had broken. Thanks for the fix!
Glad I could help!
Super helpful, had the same exact issue. Thank you!
jajjjajajaja me too bro, f8 was the solution
@@gabrieladeleon245how can I change from pc camera to integrated camera
Thank you brother! This video helped me in a critical situation happened just now. 3:10💯
OH MY GODD! NO OTHER VIDEO HAS BEEN SO HELPFUL THAT THIS ONE
Thank you so much!! This fixed my problem right away! In the era of online conferences and meetings, the webcamera is so much more important, and I needed a quick fix. Thanks again
Did you need to reinstall the camera after uninstalling it??
Thank you very much I have a interview coming up via microsoft teams and couldn't get the damn webcam working, so once again thanks
For some reason, my laptop doesn't have Imaging devices. Help.
Thank you so much!! I went to Lenovo's support. Installed drivers. Nothing worked but your video!!
Glad I could help
I was looking online and all I could find was stuff about uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and whatnot, and all I really had to do was turn off privacy mode on vantage. Super helpful.
this is so LEGIT! Thank you for sharing this 🙂 LENOVO User here 😉
my privacy mode was on the whole time...
Same happened to me, lol
Problem solved. Once I turned off the privacy mode, my camera started working. Thank you so much!!
Sir, I'm sorry. I didn't understand.
You uninstalled the camera app.
After that you restarted the laptop & the camera started ?
But didn't you just uninstall it ? So how did it start ?
Please advise
Thank You So Much!! Such A Life Saver 😌 God Bless You 😇🙏
Spent two days messing around and updating when all it was that I needed to press F8 🤦🏻♂️
same here
This video helped a lot. There was no Camera item in the Device Manager, but EasyCamera was listed under Imaging devices. So I uninstalled the EasyCamera item and restarted the computer. That worked! The Camera item is now listed in the Device Manager and the Camera works. Yay!
Thank you! I opened Lenovo utility, and it showed my camera was off. F8 didn’t even work, but now it does!
OMGG THIS WAS A HUGE HELPPPP!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU
Thank you sfm I don't know how to thank you,and again thank you sfm😭😭
Muchas gracias Sr. yo estuve estuve mucho tiempo sin Camara, instalé un microscopio espectral y dejo sed funcionar mi cámara, muchas personas trataron de ayudarme y nadie le atinó, les agradezco mucho!. Pero hice lo de su video y se solucionó. Le agradezco muchísimo.
Thank you! This fixed my issue for an important Microsoft Teams meeting. You saved me!
Glad I could help!

Hello, if I uninstalled camera how I Install in my device?
@@carfact6977 on your phone? or in your desktop?
@@darlene5385 oh I fix it now in my desktop , thanks for reply🙏🏻👍
You're a champion thank you. My privacy setting was on. You deserve a medal thank you
FYI. For those that have a black screen. There is a tiny plastic slider right at the top between the camera and the case and I mean tiny(fingernail needed) that slides left and right.
This just saved me!!!!!
So easy, and I fumbled until this. Thank you, I guess I'm not the only one feeling stupid
Yep, i forgot I turned on the camera privacy mode. I was taking a proctored exam and starting freaking out. Thx. This was a quick solution.
Thank you!! Step 1 worked for me and saved me a trip to the store!! Grateful for you posting this video!
I had the same problem. I went to the Lenovo..Device Settings...Camera...and it was working there. I didn't change anything. I went back out to the camera and it was working there too. Thank you.
