Is the Microsoft Teams app refusing to detect the camera for video conferencing? In this guide, you'll learn a bunch of ways to fix this problem on Windows 10.

If you use Microsoft Teams on Windows 10, and the camera isn't working, don't panic, you have several ways to resolve this issue. Although the app is a great platform to communicate with chat and video, collaborate, and share files in real-time, it's not a perfect system, and sometimes, you may come across problems that can negatively affect the user experience.

For instance, a lot of times, users may suddenly find out that Microsoft Teams can't detect the camera, or the camera would work, but won't be available for add-ons, making it impossible to join a video conference. If you're not able to use the built-in or USB camera with Teams, on Windows 10, you can try different troubleshooting steps to fix the problem.

In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through several sets of instructions to troubleshoot and fix camera problems with Microsoft Teams.

How to fix Teams camera by configuring settings

Although you should be able to use the camera on Teams without additional configuration, sometimes the reason you can't start a video call could be related to the device settings in the app.

To set the camera settings correctly on Microsoft Teams, use these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Teams.
2. Click the Profile menu from the top-right.

3. Select the Settings option.

6. Confirm with the preview that the camera is working

Once you complete the steps, you can try making a test call, or you can try to call someone in your contacts to see if the camera is working.

How to fix Teams camera by disabling extra devices

If the app isn't able to detect the external camera, before diving into the more advanced troubleshooting steps, try disconnecting and reconnecting the peripheral.

If you have a device with multiple webcams (for example, Surface Book 2 wihch features a front and rear camera, and you even connect a third external webcam with a USB cable), try disconnecting the USB camera to see if Microsoft Teams can use the built-in camera. If it works, perhaps using the built-in video device is a solution.

If you must use a USB camera because of its features or better quality, you could disable the built-in devices with Device Manager. However, consider that while the peripherals are disabled, you won't be able to use them.

To disable additional cameras on Windows 10, use these steps:

1. Open Start.
2. Search for Device Manager, and click the top result to open the app.
3. Expand the Imaging devices, Cameras, or Sound, video, and game controllers branch.

4. Right-click the webcam and select the Disable device option.

After you complete the steps, you can test the app to see if the camera you want to use is working.

At any time, you can revert the changes by using the same instructions, but on step No. 4, make sure to select the Enable device option.

If this is a hardware issue and you're looking for a replacement, we recommend the Logitech BRIO webcam because it's capable of 4K video and comes with Windows Hello support on Windows 10.
