1. Check the Plugged Camera
If you are using an external USB camera, fixing the Skype camera 
problem is as easy as ensuring that the camera is plugged in 
properly. You can also unplug the camera and plug it back in. Then 
you need to confirm if the external camera is functional. If you have 
another computer, you can use it on this device and check if the 
camera is working.
If the external camera is working on another computer but is still not 
working on you, then you need to check that the USB ports are not 
faulty or covered in debris. Also, if the external camera is powered 
by a driver/software, make sure the software and firmware/drivers 
are up to date. Some external webcams need to be manually turned 
on / off after connecting to a computer. If you have such a camera, 
then turn it on before using it for your Skype call.
2. Check Camera Access
For laptop users (and desktop computer users with a built-in 
webcam), you want to make sure that the Skype app is used to use 
your computer’s camera. Otherwise, you may not be able to make 
Skype video calls. Here’s how to access Skype to your Windows 10

Step 4: Scroll down to the “ Microsoft Store Application ” section 
and check if Skype access is enabled in your PC’s webcam. Activate 
this to allow Skype to access your camera.
3. Update Skype
When was the last Skype app updated? Sometimes you may 
experience usage problems and errors if you are using an older 
version of the app. Update Skype from the Microsoft Store and verify 
that the app now recognizes your camera.
4. Update Windows 10
Skype has its own system requirements for each version of Windows. 
To enjoy all the features of the application without problems, make 
sure that you are using the latest version of Windows on your 
computer. And if you are using Skype on a desktop computer, you 
want to make sure that it is running at least on DirectX v9.0 (or 
higher) and has a minimum of 512MB of RAM. It is important to keep 
your DirectX up-to-date using Skype as well as other video/graphics 
applications on your computer.
Fortunately, updating the Windows 10 operating system on your 
desktop will simultaneously update DirectX and some other software 
required for Skype to work properly. To update your version of

system. The webcam driver is outdated, corrupted or damaged. Fix

your PC and prevent Skype from detecting or activating your 
device’s camera. Again, this is possible if you are using an older 
computer with limited memory and an older hard drive. With this in 
mind, if you have a video calling app or it may be that remote video 
conferencing and meeting applications are open on your computer, 
you should close them if Skype Skype Came ra Not Work ing.
Use any of the above methods to solve a problem with a Skype app 
or computer webcam and come back using the app for video calls, 
meetings, and web conferencing. If nothing works, you can work with 
a faulty/damaged webcam and you should replace it or buy a new 
one.
