The built-in webcam is the best solution for video communication using a laptop. Its position above the screen is perfect for negotiations. You can turn on the built-in camera in the following way.
Instructions
Step 1
If the built-in webcam is not equipped with LEDs signaling its operation, then first you need to find out if it is working properly. To do this, enter the Windows control panel (via the desktop icon, or from the Start menu) and double-click on the System icon. The operating system properties window will open, in which you will need to open the "Hardware" tab. In this tab, click the "Device Manager" button. Select Imaging Devices from the Device Manager drop-down list and click on the + symbol. A list of all devices will open, among which find the webcam, and make sure that it is enabled.
Step 2
To enable the built-in webcam, you need to launch an application designed specifically for it. Usually, this software is preinstalled on a laptop (if it is purchased with the operating system). For example, in order to turn on the built-in camera on an Acer laptop, you need to go to the "Start" menu, click the "All Programs" button and select "Acer Crystal Eye Webcam" from the list of applications. With this program, you can take photos and record videos, while changing the shooting resolution and saving the results to your computer.
Step 3
You can also enable the built-in webcam using third-party programs, for example the free ManyCam application, which can be downloaded from the link https://download.manycam.com/. This program supports a wide range of functions for working with the built-in webcam
Step 4
The built-in webcam is automatically enabled in applications such as Skype, MailRu Oovoo Agent and the like. Moreover, if Manycam is installed and running in the background on the computer, then other applications will define it as a separate webcam with advanced settings.
