Hi, my built in computer camera is not functional. I have gone to HPs websites to download the recommended driver HP Universal Camera Driver sp however when downloaded it doesn’t show up under “imaging devices”. No devices show yellow or need updating; the camera device is not hidden. I have looked over HP’s manuals and there is no kill switch for the camera on this machine.

I do have Windows Virus and Threat protections running and turning it off does not impact my ability to work the webcam. I bought this computer used and never tried to use the webcam until recently so I don’t know how long this problem has been going on. This thread is locked.

Why would HP ship a unit without camera? My camera light is on but the front webcam only shows black. Rear world facing camera works fine. Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community. Any ideas on how to get this camera functional? I have the same question Report abuse.

I have spent hours trying to figure out how to make my camera work on my HP Envy laptop. I have been through every youtube video and support website. Finally I read your suggestion to check for a little button on the side, and there it was!

I can’t believe no one else suggested that. In reply to Lucy in Michigan’s post on March 27, Happy to help! Rob – SpiritX. This site in other languages x.

HP Webcam Driver Download, Install & Update On Windows 10/8/7

 
September 11, September 9, Preeti Seth. Session timed out. It will be downloaded and installed in the background if an update is available. September 14, September 14, Preeti Seth. We understand this behavior of the HP webcam can be frustrating. If you are using more than one software program to use your webcam, such as Skype for instant messaging and YouCam for saving videos, make sure that only one program is open when using the webcam.
