The Boot Camp drivers should have drivers for the camera automatically. Did you install those?

How do I get the Built-in FaceTime HD Camera on my IMAC to work with Windows 8?
Thanks Ken

2014-03-03T03:33:55+00:00 Windows 8.1 Pro with iMac Mid 2011.
Upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro couple of weeks ago. Today wanted to use the camera with Skype and there was no camera in the system. Device Manger showed "FaceTime HD Camera" node with an exclamation mark.
Downloaded and installed BootCamp5.1.5621 but the camera did not show up until I went to the Device Manger and uninstalled "FaceTime HD Camera" and added it again through scanning for new hardware.

2012-10-30T12:48:07+00:00 depends on the version of imac you have, if its an older one, your out of luck
apple dropped support for windows drivers like usb and most addon hardware support in boot camp. suggest you ask this question in apple/ community
I have a imac pre 2006, running snow leopard. boot camp does not support windows drivers any more. I had to switch to Parallels

2012-11-10T05:48:16+00:00 The issue was resolved for me. Here's how:
Boot in Mac OS. Go to Launchpad -> Utilities -> Boot Camp Assistant.
Run Bootcamp Assistant. Select the option for Downloading Windows Support Software on a DVD/CD.
It runs and downloads ALL the drivers needed, and all the software required.
Once done, boot in Windows 8. Install the downloaded software- it does it automatically on setup.exe.
All devices - Camera, Audio, Mic, everything will work.
All the best!
