Re: Droidcam For Windows 10 64 Bit
Roel Ashton
I've been using DroidCam with every videocalling app, but now that I'm using Microsoft Teams it doesn't work. It selects DroidCam Source 3 and there is an orange screen. It works perfectly with Skype/Zoom/Webex/Discord etc.
Can you help me? What should I do? I use it for my students, I really need to fix it.
P.s. there is no DroidCam Source 2 like in Skype.
@ThereseSolimeno Hello, thx for the answer, unfortunately I've already seen this topic and it didn't solve it. Buuut, I just solved it by: unistalling everything (droidcam on pc/smartphone), cleaning everything with Ccleaner etc., reinstalled everything and now it is working :)
Don't know if this has been reported, but I'm using an external windows hello camera (built into a philips 499p monitor) on a Surface laptop 3 (has a built in windows hello camera)
Running 21H1 (19043.928). When the laptop screen is open Windows hello works perfectly through the external camera.
However, when the laptop lid is closed (set to do nothing in power settings) I cannot log in using the camera, clicking the hello icon at the login screen does nothing (no error messages)
Also with the lid closed, if I log in (using PIN etc) and go into Windows Hello settings, I can improve recognition which means the camera works with the lid closed, but will not allow logging in
Hope that makes sense, can anyone help?
Hello @Alan Alden ,
Would you please tell me how things are going on your side. If you have any questions or concerns about the information I provided, please don't hesitate to let us know.
Thanks for your time and have a nice day!
This is awesome thanks.
I did this and its the only thing that fixes this issue for me, but every time I reboot it reverts back to 1.
Do you know if there is a way to make this change permanent?
This is awesome.
This is the only thing that works for my external camera for windows Hello.
But every time I reboot it reverts back to 1.
Do you know if there is a way to make this change permanent.
Only thing I can think is a group policy or something like that on your PC?
Has stayed on through multiple reboots on mine and a couple of other Surface Laptops we have here, sorry I can't be much more help on that one!
I suppose you could add the registry entry in... then take ownership with your admin account and change the permissions on the registry key to "Read-Only" for everyone. That should prevent intune from being able to modify it. It's a bush fix for sure... but it may do it.
Holy cow! Worked perfectly for me. Rebooted about a dozen times now and still working with notebook closed using either the Logitech Brio or the new Yealink camera which is half the price of the Brio but doesn't have a microphone built in.
I want you to know how much I appreciate your solution!! I upgraded to a new Surface laptop two months ago and I was so frustrated with this issue. I'm so glad and greatly appreciate you sharing your resolution!!
Please check can you use this external camera on other windows 10 with different operation system? If so, can you find the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" and configure it?
I have the exact same issue with my surface laptop 3 and Lenovo 500 IR camera. I have waited for 21H1 which has this new feature to support external camera for Windows Hello, but after install this build, nothing changed.
It works when I open the lid, not when it closed.
So what is this new feature exactly if not this to use external camera for windows hello?
When 21H1 was first installed (about 2 weeks ago) this new feature worked great. Every time, without fail. SB2 lid closed and my external LogiTech Brio unlocked my PC. It lasted for about 1 week and then stopped working. It reverted back to what it did before 21H1 (only works with the lid open)
I own a Surface Book 3 and am having the same issue, I can only use my Logitech Brio with Windows Hello if my laptop is open. I'm not sure if this is an example of a complete misunderstanding of a use case, or a glaring oversight of Surface users. I'm not walking around with a Logitech Brio and a USB cable using an external IR camera at the coffee shop with my laptop open. If I need to use an external camera it's almost certainly because I'm docked at home, and if I'm docked, the laptop is closed!!!
C'mon Microsoft. You made an "update" that is completely useless for every single docked Surface owner. The Surface Book is a premium product and I certainly paid a PREMIUM price for it. Please fix this and do it properly, NOW!
