error code 0xA00F4293..... Camera app not working on video

Question

the camera app on my laptop has stopped working on video which in lockdown is a pain. Photo still works. Seemed to have worked through loads of solutions but none work.. HELP

Have tried updating drivers; uninstalling and installing, but nothing works

Answer 1

I have the same exact problem. The camera freezes, sometimes I cannot join calls on Meet or Zoom and the camera stays off, and videos on YouTube take ages to load. I tried updates, even reinstalling Windows: nothing changed. It worked perfectly fine in the past.

Answer 2

Thanks for thoughts....windows up to date; camera works on Google Meet calls; will take individual photos but freezes when video start button hit

Answer 3

Hi PhilipLinley, I am an independent advisor.

I will do my best to help you.

When making a video call, does the camera work?

Check if Windows Update has updates available, also from Microsoft Store

Regards.

Answer 4

any other ideas??

Tried reset; tried uninstall; tried update drivers; 

Also stops video calls such as Zoom. Seems also to effect watching videos on Youtube.....takes ages before they play.

Answer 5

Enter the settings and then Applications and Features, in the list of applications locate the Camera App and proceed to click to see the specifications and at the bottom Select Reset.
