If your camera is working, you should see yourself or your room\u2019s image before the call connects.\n\n3. **Check Camera Settings Inside WhatsApp**\n   - Once the video call is active, there might be **voice & video settings** where you can choose which camera to use (if multiple are connected) or test the camera input. ([windowslatest.com](https://www.windowslatest.com/2024/02/06/whatsapp-on-windows-11-adds-sticker-maker-gives-you-greater-control-over-camera-audio/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd27 Troubleshooting if the Camera Doesn\u2019t Work\n\nIf your camera doesn\u2019t show up or works partially (camera light turns on but no image appears, etc.), check the following:\n\n1. **Windows Privacy Settings**\n   - Press **Win + I** \u2192 *Privacy & security* \u2192 *Camera*.  \n   - Make sure **Camera access for this device** is turned **On**.  \n   - Ensure **Let apps access your camera** is enabled.  \n   - Ensure **Let desktop apps access your camera** is also on.  \n   - Also check that WhatsApp is allowed under \u201cChoose which Microsoft Store apps can access your camera\u201d. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/manage-app-permissions-for-a-camera-in-windows-87ebc757-1f87-7bbf-84b5-0686afb6ca6b?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Update or Reinstall Camera Drivers**\n   - Open **Device Manager** (Win + X \u2192 Device Manager).  \n   - Find your camera under \u201cCameras\u201d or \u201cImaging Devices\u201d.  \n   - If there\u2019s a yellow warning symbol or the device is disabled, update or enable it. ([webcammictest.com](https://webcammictest.com/webcam/guides/system-settings/?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Check WhatsApp\u2019s Internal Camera Selection**\n   - Sometimes WhatsApp lets you select which video camera to use during a call. Verify the correct camera is chosen from the camera selector. ([windowslatest.com](https://www.windowslatest.com/2024/02/06/whatsapp-on-windows-11-adds-sticker-maker-gives-you-greater-control-over-camera-audio/?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Close Other Apps Using the Camera**\n   - If another app (like OBS or a virtual camera driver) is using the camera, WhatsApp might not be able to access it. Closing that other application may help. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsapp/comments/1j5t0op?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. **Repair, Reset, or Reinstall WhatsApp**\n   - If everything above is correct but still no camera output, try repairing or resetting the WhatsApp app through Windows settings \u2192 Apps \u2192 WhatsApp \u2192 Advanced options \u2192 Repair/Reset.  \n   - If that fails, uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-whatsapp-calls-not-working/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which version of Windows you have (Windows 10 or 11) and whether you use WhatsApp Desktop or Web, I can give more specific instructions!"
