  • Skype does the same thing as camera control (i use osx lion 10.7.4 and a microsoft lifecam studio), but in my case it doesn't matter, if i leave the app running or not! After i started Skype once, the exposure is fine in FaceTime, photo booth etc., also if i quit Skype before or during i use one of the mentioned apps!

I was struggling with my Microsoft Lifecam Studio webcam because it was not working properly.

I have a Retina MacBook Pro 15″ (late 2013) and I test the camera with the PhotoBooth app on Mavericks. All I was able to see was a super burned white-colored image.

After researching online for solutions I came across this program on the App store that costs USD 8. I must say, it was worth it, because from the moment I installed it, the problem was solved. Now I am able to use my camera without any troubles.

Its a little bit strange that Apple doesn’t support this camera which costs around USD 80 (Its not a cheap one) and the idea of having another App always running just make something I think should be supported by OS X bothers me a little bit. But well, I guess this is part of the Apple vs Microsoft war, at least I don’t have to purchase another webcam now.

The App name is: WebCam Settings they also have a blog here if you want to get more info.

Tip: I had to change one configuration in the Advanced tab of the program settings. I had to select the 50Hz option to eliminate the flickering I was having with 60 Hz.

I recently had a problem using my Microsoft LifeCam Cinema WebCam in Microsoft Teams.
I would appear dark and have no way or adjusting it, sometimes it might randomly correct itself.
My camera had no noticeable way of changing any of its properties.

Suggested Fixes

As suggested on some forums, opening the Windows 10 Camera App should fix the contrast issue.
However this did not work for me.

Alternatively, it was suggested to roll back the driver for camera which I didn’t feel like attempting to track down an older version of the driver.

Solution

The secret it turns out is to use Skype and its ability to modify your camera’s settings.
I simply needed to disable auto exposure but there was no native way to do that in Windows 10.

Using Skype I could modify it, here are the steps:

  1. Open up Skype and go to the Settings pop-out menu option:

  2. Navigate to the Audio & Video menu item and click on the Webcam settings link:

  3. You should see the Properties dialog of your camera and the option to change your Exposure or Focus:

  4. The Auto capability on the Exposure option, is what caused my camera to not adjust the contrast as expected.
    From here you can experiment with which checkbox needs toggling off.
