Camera Webcam
Posted on Monday, June 27, 2011 in Photography
How do I use my laptop's webcam/camera?
My laptop has a webcam button, and I can see the little camera, but I can't figure out how to turn it on! Is there some special program I need to run or something? The laptop is custom built, but I'm hoping there's some universal, sensible process to using the camera.
I forgot to mention that pressing the button does nothing.
usually you need to use a webcam/video chat program to activate the camera. Try going on Facebook Video Chat Rounds (http://www.rounds.com/facebook-video-chat/) and see if the program detects your cam. Then click "allow" when it asks if you want to allow access and then you should be good to go.
