Camera does not work on microsoft teams only
- Apr 09, 2020
wallybhI had the same issue in Windows build 19592 (insider preview). Just got an update today to version 19603 and voila - Teams is able to activate the cameras again!
PhilAtCafetorium This was in the end never about the camera not working but an issue with Teams/Skype. When I posted this Post, Teams had just got an update that screwed the ability to use the camera, no matter which camera I tried. A week later Teams released an update and it fixed the issue. So it looks like Teams and done it again with an update. I would if you just wait for the next update as I doubt if you will find a fix.
If you have the option to use another device then I would just move to that device for meetings and use Teams on the Laptop/Desktop for chatting/main work. You can use multiple devices at the same time in Teams, I find that very useful.
All I can help with on this issue.

DrDaveMGP how long ago, or when did you receive an update that seemed to repair the issue? I'm fighting a set of Teams Room systems, with some fairly robust equipment. Getting Microsoft to play nice has been the worst part of this experience, by far. My experience has basically been what the other users have reported...cameras work on basically every other application, *except* Teams. I'm concerned because I thought I was on the latest build, issued 12/8. Thoughts?
