TEAMS video freezing at the start of video call
- Jul 02, 2020
Hi,
I get this too. And in my case for it to work I have to switch to another video source feed. It is essentially the one web cam but it only seems to work with one of the many web cam software programs I have, which is probably the cause.
So you can try clicking on the video feed button with the continous arrows around it, to switch source, if this is even an option and see if it helps?
I know you shouldn't have to but if this rings true I think basically it is not coping in situations that multiple camera software is installed.
I have Logitech Capture software, XSplit Cam software, Logitech Web cam and Surface built in web cam.
The only way it works for me is by way of XSplit Cam, even though that is ultimately using the Logitech Camera.
I am going to reset my Windows installation soon just to see if that puts me back to an expected working state on the camera front and then install the software one by one to see at what point it breaks.
Thanks
Henry

In a meet now can you see the camera option to the right of turning video on or off. If present, this is what will allow you to change between different sources.For a call it will look something like this in the bottom right hand corner:
Thanks

Vikram Romana, do you know the Make/Model & Windows 10 Version of the device the user is having problems with?
I am experiencing the same issue with a number of my users, all on a Lenovo Laptop with the latest Windows 10 2004 installed.
