Use this guide if the other participants in the Webex Meeting and you yourself cannot see your camera feed.
- If you are using an external USB camera, be sure that it is plugged in. If you know the camera has lights on it, make sure those lights are illuminated.
- If the camera is plugged in, or you are using a built-in camera, continue below.
- Does your webcam have a shutter that is blocking the lens? If there is a slider near the webcam lens, slide it to expose the lens.
- Be sure that WebEx is looking for the correct camera. Click on the caret next to Start Video (or Stop Video) and select the correct camera input.
- The next step to try is to leave and re-join the WebEx room
- Let's continue to diagnose by checking if the camera is recognized by programs other than Webex
- In Windows, open the Camera app or another video conferencing application (Skype, Teams)
- In Mac, open Photo Booth or another video conferencing application (Skype, Teams)
This next step will check the Privacy settings of you computer and will differ for each operating system:
- If your camera is not detected, please restart your computer. This may help your computer to detect the camera.
- If your camera is still unresponsive, please contact the Technology Support Center at 860-486-4357 or email techsupport@uconn.edu for advanced help
