Re: Camera settings in Teams vs Skype?
There appears to be a workaround for people who have Skype. I have seen some workarounds proposed for using the camera app to change settings while Teams is open, but as far as I'm concerned this is a myth - firstly you cannot have the camera being accessed by two apps at once, and secondly it juts doesn't work. My camera app looks completely different to my Teams camera feed. Teams desperately needs camera settings, this is really basic functionality.

Re: Teams camera too dark
TwoAngel This has an effect on your Teams camera? Not an option for people without Skype on their work computers in any case.

Re: Teams camera too dark
RobloxianMan13660I just tried this during a Teams meeting, it did nothing. Absolutely no difference. Because Teams controls the camera settings itself, the camera app and Teams do not speak to each other. This workaround DOES NOT WORK. Microsoft need to include camera settings in the Teams app.

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.

Re: Teams camera too dark
This has no affect on Teams. The camera app is completely unrelated to Teams. Teams needs its own settings for how it uses the camera.

Re: Teams camera too dark
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.

Re: 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?
