In the Testing Area field, where your webcam image appears, is it still green on this website? If so, your camera is defective. To confirm, you can test it on another computer if it's an external camera.

Does this problem occur in photos taken with your webcam or cell phone camera?
Does this problem happen with photos taken from other devices?
If you download an image from Google Photos, will it also have a green tint?
I need all the information to be able to help. Remember not to post personal information; this forum is public.

2026-03-17T02:52:56.0033333+00:00 If this problem occurs in all apps and websites, your camera is likely faulty. You should replace it.
You can also test it in the Camera app and on the website https://webcamtests.com/
- If the problem occurs in both the app and the website, your camera is faulty.

Q&A Assist2026-03-17T01:39:49.4833333+00:00 AI generated content. This question contains an answer created with AI from Q&A Assist. Learn moreChange the display color profile to correct the color cast so skin tones look natural instead of green.
On Surface and many Windows devices, color profiles can strongly affect how photos and video look:
- Open Settings from the taskbar search.
- Go to System > Display.
- Look for Color profile (or similar option under your display).
- If it is set to Vivid or Enhanced, change it to sRGB using the dropdown.
- Test the camera or photo app again to see if colors (especially skin tones) look more natural.
If the issue is only in a specific app (for example, a video or photo editor), also check that app’s own color or filter settings to ensure no “green” tint, filter, or special color effect is applied.
If the problem is with a single picture file rather than the whole screen, adjust that picture’s color temperature or recolor settings in the editing app:
- Use the Format Picture / Picture Color options to change Color Temperature and Color Saturation, or remove any Recolor effect (for example, choose No Recolor or Restore Original Colors) so the image returns to normal colors.
