Webcam Not Working on Website – Works in 8.1 apps
Hello – I almost went over the edge last night as I was attempting to get my laptop webcam and mic to work with a website that essentially gives virtual interviews. The site did not recognize my webcam and would not produce that adobe flash message that you need to agree to for the webcam to become functional.
I attempted everything from providing finish "permit" rights to the website to closing down the Camera and S Camera apps that may have been in control of the webcam, to restarting the computer to switching from wireless to ethernet internet connection, and more.

You need to pack in some blanks. What is the mfg & model of the computer? Any third party Internet security software installed? Webcam.com is a malware website, that is pornographic orientated.

Sure, I am using a Samsung ATIV Book eight laptop. Besides Windows Defender, I use Malwarebytes as an active scanner. Looking at the imaging devices in Device Manager, there seems to be two devices: Cannon MG2100 Series and WebCam SC – 10HDP12631N.

As long as your driver for your webcam is installed. Then it will work. You have to keep in mind that the site you are using for movie talk, has to permit for connection of the camera & voice.

there still seems to be some type of mismatch inbetween the site (maybe html code?) as the adobe flash message box does not pop up when using windows 8. The very first link I posted was an fair mistake – the site is testwebcam.com (I accidentally left out test in the URL the very first time); and the site does exactly that, it tests your webcam. My webcam works on this site just fine, but for whatever reason not the other site, even when I give the it utter allowances to access my webcam. just very odd and something that I want to get to the bottom of.

If you are attempting from the Metro/Commence screen. Yes Flash will not decently work in a web browser from that interface. It has been a known issue since Windows 8.x.x came out.
