How can I activate my webcam

Asked By James R Gonyea 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/13/2014

Hello everyone,

I am having HP Envy DV7 with Windows 8 pre-installed in it.

I have recently bought an HP TrueVision webcam but I couldn’t activate the webcam. I would like to do video chat using Skype, but as my webcam is not activated, it is not even shown that in the Skype as well.

Can somebody help me how I can activate the webcam? Any help around this will be really appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.

How can I activate my webcam

Hello James,

It's very simple to activate the webcam on your operating system but you have to follow some easy steps. 

1. Go to Google website

2. Write your webcam's model number in the search bar to download its driver and make sure the model number is correct.

3. Find out the website where you can get this driver to activate your webcam. 

4. Download and install the drive on your system.

5. Reboot your system after the whole process. 

It works fine. 

Regards!
