Is it possible to add a camera to Win7 ?

Hi

yeah also try to check if the camera is detected like what Megahertz said. Also, you can download amcap to check if the webcam is really working.

Thanks.

It says HP webcam 101 and device is up to date. Windows has determined the driver software is up to date. HP IR camera driver the best software is already installed.

Downloaded amcap then it said a video capture was needed so downloaded NCH which was free, however nothing's happening ?

I don't use any Skype more since Microsoft took it over as it's miles too complicated nowadays, but have tried appear-in which is simplicity itself on Win 10 however it's saying that it can't detect a camera....

Go over this troubleshooter faqs, see if anything fits.

Good idea eventually found "permissions" and switched all to Allow. Went back into my "Room" and saw "Camera no available device".

Weird....

That indicates the problem lies between the camera and the operating system (OS). Have you tried uninstalling the camera software?

When finished reboot your machine and windows should reinstall on start-up, you should see a dialog pop-up saying it found a camera device and do you want to install? tap on OK or yes to finish the install.

Thanks. Uninstalled camera, rebooted and re-installed all ok, but no device shown in "appear-in" notice as before. No dialog pop-up either....

try reinstalling appear-in, with the reinstall of the camera the connection with appear-in was broken.
