Teams camera too dark

ITWorker You cannot open the camera app in Win 10 if the camera is already being used by another app (e.g. Teams). What you suggest is not possible.
And do you have an update on the driver update as you said?
redrook I don't know what to tell you but running the camera app in Win 10 and Teams is possible.... As its the work around I was using on a couple of machines.
I have had mixed results with the divers. On one device it has worked fine, on another uninstalling the driver from device manager and then that worked and others units are still not working at all... unless I open the camera app in Win 10 and Teams at the same time.
It is very inconclusive to my finding.
- It's not possible to have the camera on for Teams and on for the app. You can have Teams open along with the camera app, sure, but the camera can't be on. At least for me it isnt possible to have two apps accessing the camera at once.
- So you have opened teams and joined a meeting with you camera on?
Then once you have joined the meeting with your camera on you have opened up the default win10 camera app. Has this made you camera lighter \ back to normal or is it still dark?- No. When opening the camera app it says "camera already in use by another program" or something similar. It is not possible to have two applications actively using the camera at once. It is not even physically possible unless you have two cameras.
