[SOLVED] Webcam not recognized

[multiversemeep]

Hello, I have a cheap usb webcam from china, but windows isn't recognizing it. It used to work a couple of months ago, but it doesn't work now, or show up in device manager. I would try to find drivers for it, but it unmarked, and is a cheapo from china anyways, not even sure how to start. Thanks for any help, does anybody know how to make windows recognize my webcam?

Maybe this will help:

If that doesn't fix the issue, I will look further into this case.

If you continue having problems with it I would replace it with a better quality one from a well-known manufacturer like Logitech etc.

Obviously costs more than the one you have but reliability is worth paying for in my opinion. Also much better online support for possible issues and drivers etc
