Web cam slow to start
Hi When I start up Teams on Windows 10 it takes between 20 and 25s for the camera to operate. This is a recent phenomenon which I cannot resolve. It's a Logitech webcam that has worked fine before. I have tested the camera using the Camera app and that works immediately . Any ideas appreciated Thanks
My webcam freezes on other participants end
Hello everyone, This one has been bugging me for a while and I original put it down to using the preview builds of Windows. But I now have clean installed with the Windows 21H1 as of 22/05/2021 and the issue was there from the very first attempt at using Teams. When I start/join a meeting in the desktop app, and we all have our webcams on, I can see everyone else's feed. And I can see my own feed. My feed is clear and the video is continuous on my side. However, my feed freezes every few seconds on everyone else's end resulting in less than ideal visuals on their end. If I swap to using the browser version, my video comes through perfectly clear. My data connection is not constrained with a consistent 50mbps+ download and 15mbps+ upload. I am using ethernet from the PC to the NBN router: Attached are two videos that are recorded to Streams. One from the desktop application, and the other from the browser. The following is what I have tried to do to troubleshoot (roughly in this order): Different USB ports Different web cams (my main webcam is a Logitech Streamcam) Different desktop applications (V-Cam, Logitech Capture) Connect to wireless network Disabled QOS in the Teams admin portal Disabled QOS on my router, Registry hack to enable webcam work around I have not seen this issue in any other video conferencing systems (Zoom, WebEx etc.) Any ideas on where else to look would be greatly appreciated.Will we get control over webcam settings within TEAMS?
I did check first and I can only find a similar post from 2018, which is quite a while ago and obviously the world has gone down a very different route since then, with "working at home" for most people, and TEAMS is now a much more important to keeping in contact. As a photographer and videographer, I have the knowledge on how to use a professional camera as a webcam, and set up external lighting, to get very good quality and correctly lit video on a call. But that isn't always possible on a work PC as it might require installing software, it's just time consuming to set it all up and get it going, OR regular Joe doesn't have that knowledge or expensive equipment. This is where a webcam comes in. In my case using a Logitech streamcam, which isn't bad. It's more convenient and plug and play, in most cases.But if using a webcam on a work device, you may still need to install software to edit settings. Which is where you would hope that TEAMS might offer a solution, but it doesn't! Will we ever get webcam settings, within TEAMS, to adjust the image quality and lighting? It seems like it wouldn't be that complicated to add in for software which is primarily intended to be used with video broadcasts and webcam calls. It's a fundamental feature. Especially if you want your footage to look professional for clients or just during a team catch up.
Web Cam is greyscale to everyone when someone is presenting
I am hoping the title will explain enough of the issue that I am having. I am appearing to people on my webcam as the following: I am normal and in colour on my PC and Teams I am normal and in colour to others whenno oneis sharing their screen I am greyscale (With pink outlines) when someoneissharing their screen I have ruled out hardware issue, I have reinstalled drivers and teams several times but not sure what to do next?
