Price: A webcam with great video quality doesn’t have to cost much.The camera is working perfectly on my other face-time apps, for instance a medical app that I have and use through Chrome. In the camera privacy settings, after the camera doesn’t work in Zoom and officially I have closed the app, the Zoom permission sometimes shows a message that the camera is currently being used by Zoom, despite the fact that the app is closed and it theoretically was unable to connect with the camera… When the camera connection doesn’t work, if I try to do something in Zoom without the camera, the computer gives an error message that Zoom is not responding and the Zoom app grays out frozen and cannot even be closed except through the Microsoft “close the program” box that comes up. I can sometimes get Zoom and the camera to connect once, and then the next time it won’t work again and sometimes Zoom gives a “can’t connect with the camera” message. I’ve followed all the steps above, even reinstalled Zoom twice and tested on two different search engines (Google Chrome and Edge). My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15 running Windows 10 and Windows 365.
