How to Fix Zoom Camera Not Working
If You’re Using an External Webcam
Ensure your camera is properly plugged in. Gently press the edges of the camera. Unplug the webcam cable and make sure there are to specks of dust inside the computer port.
Before plugging the webcam back in, disconnect all the other peripherals. Maybe some of them might be interfering with your camera.
Additionally, if your laptop has a dedicated physical switch to enable or disable the camera, switch the button off and on several times. Check if this quick workaround did the trick.
Update Everything
And by that, we mean your Zoom app, Windows 10 OS, and camera drivers.
To update Zoom, click on your profile picture and select Check for Updates.
If you want to install the latest Windows 10 OS version, navigate to Settings → Update & Security → Windows Update and hit the Check for updates button.
Last but not least, ensure your camera drivers are up-to-date. Launch the Device Manager, right-click on Camera, and select Update Driver.
If the issue persists, repeat the same steps but this time, select Uninstall device to remove your camera drivers. Then restart your computer. Your machine will automatically install the latest driver version.
Manually Install Your Camera Driver
Alternatively, you can manually download and install your camera driver from your camera manufacturer’s website.
- ASUS
- Dell
- Lenovo
- Logitech
- HP
- Samsung
Check Your Privacy Settings
Windows 10 has specific privacy settings that prevent software and hardware from accessing your camera. That could be one of the reasons why your camera is not working on Zoom.
- Launch the Settings app and navigate to Privacy.
- Then, under App Permissions, click on Camera.
- There’s an option there that says Allow apps to access your camera. Toggle it on.
- Navigate to Allow desktop apps to access your camera.
- Then turn this option on to allow Zoom to access and use your camera.
Register Your Camera Again
To do this, we’re going to use PowerShell.
- Press the Windows +X keys and select Windows PowerShell (Admin). This allows you to launch PowerShell with admin rights and permissions.
- To register your Camera app, enter this command:
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsCamera | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}re-register camera app powershell - Then close Windows PowerShell and relaunch Zoom. Check if the camera issue is gone.
Close Other Apps That Could Access Your Camera
Close all the other apps and programs that could be using your camera. They could be blocking Zoom from detecting and accessing your camera. Even if these programs are not visible on the screen, they could be running in the background.
For example, if you previously used Microsoft Teams but did not close all the related processes, the app could still be lingering around.
- Launch the Task Manager and go to the Processes tab.
- Then locate the apps that could be using your camera.
- Right-click on each app and select End Task.
Zoom Camera Not Working in Browser
If Zoom’s web version does not recognize your laptop’s camera, it is most likely due to your current browser settings.
The instructions below apply to Google Chrome. But you can easily adapt them to any Chromium-based browser.
- Go to Settings → Privacy and Security → Site Settings.
- Then select View permissions and data stored across sites.
- Enter zoom.us in the search bar and hit Enter.
- Select zoom.us and click on the small arrow icon to access the permission settings.
- Allow Zoom to access your camera.
- Click on the refresh button of your browser. Check the results.
Additionally, you may also want to clear the cache and disable your extensions.
Zoom Camera Not Working with Lenovo Devices
If you’re experiencing this Zoom camera problem on a Lenovo device, turn off the camera privacy option in Lenovo Vantage.
- Go to the Windows Search bar and type ‘lenovo.’
- Select Lenovo Vantage. Install Lenovo Vantage from the Microsoft Store if the app is not available on your device.
- Then go to Hardware Settings and select Audio/Visual.
- Scroll down to Camera Privacy Mode. Disable this option.
Conclusion
To sum up, if Zoom cannot use your laptop camera, your privacy settings might be blocking the app from accessing your camera. Check your settings, update Zoom and your camera driver, and then restart your laptop.

Zoom, a name we have heard way too often recently, has become necessary owing to the WFH culture. It’s a video conferencing platform with a user-friendly interface and many user-oriented features. But what if Zoom cannot detect a Windows 11 or 10 camera?
Being part of a video call without your footage being shared is a dreaded nightmare for many. It could be due to a bunch of underlying issues, most trivial. Once you identify the issue, troubleshooting won’t be a problem anymore.
Hence, to effectively eliminate the problem and get things back on track, you must understand why Zoom cannot detect the camera.
Why is Zoom not detecting my camera?
Though the underlying issues can be many, we have listed the most common ones below:
- Zoom version – Many users have complained that running an older version of Zoom or Windows may trigger this problem.
- Misconfigured settings – If the service cannot detect cameras, it may be due to an incorrect Zoom configuration.
- Permission issues – Zoom doesn’t permit some users to access the camera.
- Outdated camera drivers – This is a cause of many computer problems, and since drivers are essential for communication between hardware and software, it may trigger this camera issue.
Try to identify which of the above issues might be causing the camera problem in Zoom. For instance, revert to the previous ones if you start encountering the error after changing camera settings or modifying the camera permissions (both app and system).
How do I fix Zoom if it is unable to detect a camera?
Before you go into any complex solutions, we recommend some basic checks. It would be best if you did the following:
- Verify camera selection – It is likely not set to the correct camera.
- Remove any obstructions – Another common issue often found to be the underlying cause is an object obstructing the camera. Some webcams have shutters for privacy. Ensure these are open to allow a perfect video output from the camera.
- Check if the camera is enabled – Certain computers, generally laptops, have a button that can be used to enable/disable the camera. Check if it was used previously to disable the camera; if that’s the case, press the button to re-enable it.
- Restart the device – If it’s a trivial bug behind Zoom’s inability to detect a camera in Windows 11, restarting the computer should fix that.
- Identify if the problem lies with Zoom or the computer – Check if the camera works fine on the other apps. If it does, the issue, in all likelihood, lies with Zoom, and you should first execute the fixes specific to Zoom.
1. Update Zoom
- Launch the Zoom app, click on the Profile icon near the top-right corner, and select Check for Updates from the list of options.
- If a newer version is available, install it and check if the Zoom camera problem is resolved.
Reinstalling the Zoom app can also help you fix other issues related to the app like error code 3003; read this guide to learn more.
2. Update Windows 11
- Press Windows + I to launch the Settings app.
- Select Windows Update from the tabs listed in the navigation pane on the left.
- Click on Check for updates to scan and download the latest version of the OS, if any is available.
Running an outdated version of the OS is also known to cause issues with performance and increases the likelihood of encountering errors. Hence, it’s recommended that you update it and check if the Zoom camera problem is resolved.

3. Check browser settings (if not using the Zoom app)
NOTE
This fix is only for users who use a web browser instead of the Zoom app. We have listed the steps for Google Chrome, and once you get an idea of the concept, it would be easy to change the settings on other browsers as well.
- Launch the browser, type/paste the following in the address bar, and hit Enter:
chrome://settings/privacy - Click on Site Settings under Privacy & security.
- Next, click on Camera under Permissions.
- Ensure that the Sites can ask to use your camera option is enabled, and Zoom is not added under Not allowed to use your camera.
4. Update camera drivers
- Press Windows + S to launch the Search menu.
- Enter Device Manager in the text field at the top, and click on the relevant search result that appears.
- Double-click on the Cameras entry to view the various devices under it.
- Right-click on the malfunctioning webcam, and select Update driver from the context menu.
- Next, select Search automatically for drivers from the two options in the Update Drivers window.
- Windows will automatically scan for the best available driver on the computer and install it.
If the above methods have not worked, it could be an outdated driver behind Zoom being unable to detect the camera. Hence, it’s recommended that you update the driver.
The Device Manager method only looks for updated versions on the computer itself and not the web, thus acting as an offline update. If it isn’t able to find one, you can always check for the latest driver version in Windows Update or the manufacturer’s website.
If that sounds too much trouble, you can always use reliable third-party software. We recommend using Outbyte Driver Updater, a dedicated tool that scans the web for the latest versions and keeps the installed drivers up-to-date.
5. Check camera permissions
- Press Windows + I to launch the Settings app.
- Select Privacy & security from the tabs listed in the navigation pane on the left.
- Click on Camera under App permissions.
- Make sure that Zoom has access to the camera.
6. Run the troubleshooter
- Press Windows + I to launch Settings.
- Click on Troubleshoot on the right in the System tab.
- Click on Other troubleshooters.
- Next, click on the Run button next to the Camera troubleshooter.
- Now, choose the appropriate responses and follow the steps listed by the troubleshooter to fix the issue.
7. Terminate conflicting programs
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to launch the Task Manager.
- Locate any programs using the camera, for instance, other video-conferencing apps.
- Select the conflicting program, and click on the End task button at the bottom.
After terminating the conflicting programs, you should be able to fix Zoom’s inability to detect a camera in HP and other devices, among other errors like the Zoom error code 3000.
These are the most effective ways to resolve Zoom’s inability to detect a camera in Windows 11 / 10 problem. If the problem persists, you can reset Windows 11 to its factory settings.
These solutions will work in many situations, including if Zoom cannot detect a camera laptop, including brands like ASUS, HP, Dell, Lenovo, etc.

У пользователей клиента видеоконференций камера в Zoom не работает из-за неверных настроек доступа к видеооборудованию. На компьютерах с Windows 10 откройте меню «Пуск», щелкните по шестеренке, перейдите в раздел «Конфиденциальность» и выберите пункт меню «Камера» слева. Убедитесь в том, что переключатель «Разрешить приложениям доступ к камере» включен и программе Зум предоставлен доступ к видеооборудованию. На ПК с mac OS кликните по яблоку вверху слева, выберите пункт «Системные настройки», откройте раздел «Защита и безопасность», перейдите во вкладку «Конфиденциальность» и выберите камеру в левом меню. Удостоверьтесь в том, что флажок слева от иконки Зум проставлен.
Как включить камеру в Zoom
Участник удаленной встречи может включить камеру в Зуме во время подключения к конференции. Чтобы подключиться с видео, щелкните по голубой кнопке. Если достаточно аудиоконференции, кликните «Подключиться без видео».
Управляйте видеооборудованием во время удаленного собрания. Чтобы отключить камеру в Zoom, нажмите на вторую слева иконку «Остановить видео». Система заменит изображение пользователя на аватарку и переименует пиктограмму на «Включить видео». Повторный клик по иконке возобновит трансляцию потокового видео.
Если организуете конференцию на компьютере и не хотите транслировать видео, сбросьте флажок «Начать с видео» у оранжевой иконки «Новая конференция».
Для запуска удаленной встречи с выключенным видео организатора на телефоне нажмите на иконку «Новая конференция» и передвиньте ползунок «Видео вкл.» в неактивное положение.
Для управления видеооборудованием в настройках Зум веб-камеры на компьютере проставьте флажок «Всегда показывать диалоговое окно предварительного просмотра видео при подключении к видеоконференции». Аналогичным образом активируйте переключатель «Всегда показывать предварительный просмотр видео» в параметрах конференции на смартфоне.

Зум не видит камеру в Windows 10
Сначала убедитесь в том, что операционная система «видит» встроенную в ноутбук или внешнюю подключенную к компьютеру камеру. Нажмите «Пуск» и запустите приложение «Камера». Если перед глазами появилась надпись «We can’t find your camera» на черном фоне, следует настроить оборудование в диспетчере устройств. Если видите серый экран с кнопками управления устройством, камера в Zoom не работает из-за проблем с доступом: нужно настроить параметры конфиденциальности операционной системы.
Если операционная система не разрешает приложениям доступ к камере, выполните шесть простых шагов.
1. Щелкните по меню «Пуск» в левом нижнем углу экрана.
2. Нажмите на плитку «Параметры» или на иконку с шестеренкой.
3. В параметрах Windows перейдите в раздел «Конфиденциальность» с замочком слева.

6. Переведите во включенное положение ползунок «Разрешить приложениям доступ к камере».
Если приложениям предоставлен доступ к камере или активация настойки не помогла, промотайте экран вниз и выясните, какие программы работают с камерой. Убедитесь, что тумблер справа от Зум включен. Чтобы избежать конфликта приложений, последовательно отключайте другие программы. Начните со Skype.
Если у клиента конференций нет проблем с доступом, конфликт приложений исключен, но Zoom не видит камеру, проверьте вебку с помощью диспетчера устройств.
1. На рабочем столе кликните по иконке с компьютером.
2. В открывшемся окне правой кнопкой мыши вызовите контекстное меню и выберите пункт «Свойства».
3. Перейдите в раздел «Диспетчер устройств» вверху слева.
4. Кликните левой кнопкой мышки по иконке «Камеры» в списке оборудования.
5. Если камер несколько, выберите нужную, щелкните правой кнопкой и вызовите контекстное меню.
6. Кликните «Свойства».
7. Удостоверьтесь, что во вкладке «Общие» в поле «Состояние устройства» указано «Устройство работает нормально».
8. Если в поле «Состояние устройства» выводится ошибка, перейдите во вкладку «Драйвер».
9. Удостоверьтесь в том, что камера включена. Если слева от строчки «Разрешение выбранного устройства» размещена кнопка «Задействовать», веб-камеры выключена. Щелкните «Задействовать», затем «Ok» в нижней правой части окна со свойствами.
10. Перезагрузите компьютер, чтобы изменения вступили в силу.

Чтобы попасть в диспетчер устройств, выполните описанную для Windows 10 последовательность действий или перейдите к настройкам через меню «Пуск».
1. Щелкните «Пуск».
2. Кликните «Панель управления».
3. Перейдите в раздел «Система и безопасность».
4. Под заголовком «Система» щелкните «Диспетчер устройств».
Настроить камеру в Windows 7 помогает конкурирующий клиент конференций Skype. Чтобы перейти к настройкам вебки, выполните семь простых действий.
1. Запустите Скайп.
2. Щелкните по трем точкам справа от аватарки.
3. Выберите верхний пункт «Настройки».
4. Перейдите в раздел «Звук и видео».

2. В раскрывшемся меню выберите пункт «Системные настройки».
3. Перейдите в раздел «Защита и безопасность».
4. Откройте вкладку «Конфиденциальность».
5. Кликните по пункту левого меню «Камера».
6. Убедитесь в простановке чекбокса слева от иконки Zoom.
Почему не работает камера на iOS
Иногда пользователи iPhone и iPad при первом запуске приложения не предоставляют клиенту доступ к веб-камере. В этом случае в окне предварительного просмотра видео программа выводит ошибку, как показано на скриншоте.
Чтобы разрешить Zoom доступ к видеооборудованию, пройдите три шага.
1. Щелкните по иконке «Настройки» с шестеренкой на рабочем столе.
2. В строке поиска по настройкам введите «Zoom» и перейдите к единственному результату поиска.
3. Убедитесь в том, что ползунок справа от иконки с камерой переведен во включенное положение.
Не работает трансляция видео на телефоне с Android
Камера на смартфонах с Android не работает по той же причине, что у телефонов с iOS: приложению не предоставили доступ к видеооборудованию при первом запуске. Чтобы программа «увидела» камеру, выполните набор простых действий.
1. Щелкните по пиктограмме с шестеренкой и перейдите к настройкам смартфона.
2. Скролльте экран вниз и переходите в раздел «Все приложения».
3. Напечатайте название программы в строке поиска и перейдите к настройкам приложения.
4. Кликните по ссылке «Разрешения приложений».
