There were two device drivers listed for the LifeCam! I right-clicked on both devices and selected Uninstall device. Looking under the Imaging devices revealed something unexpected. Switching back to my laptop, in Device Manager, I went to the View menu and selected Show hidden devices. The LifeCam wasn’t under Cameras, it was listed under Imaging devices. Firing up Device Manager on the second PC revealed something interesting though. I then tried the webcam with a different PC, and it worked, so at least I knew the device wasn’t faulty.
I tried unplugging it and re-plugging back in (and rebooting Windows) to no avail. I brought up Device Manager, and looked in the Cameras node, but it wasn’t there. It was strange as it did show up as an audio device, but not video.

This fluidity might seem a little odd to our eyes which are accustomed to 24-30 FPS, but generally a higher FPS count is a good thing. So if, let's say, you're using Skype and the FPS your camera is recording is lower than 24, then that means that the image is going to look a little stuttery to the other side.Ī number significantly higher than 30, meanwhile, just means that the video will be more fluid, more lifelike.
Generally the FPS of television is higher than that of the cinema. We are used to seeing movies in the cinema and TV shows displayed at around 24-30 FPS. This number is affected by the type of webcam that you have, and also by the speed of your computer and the number of tasks that it is engaged in at a given moment.įPS matters because the higher this number is the more life-like and real the resulting video looks. FPS is the number of frames, or images, that your webcam is taking and transmitting every second.
