Webcam Not Detected

If the camera does not open or appears unavailable, check the device and its permissions.

Check the camera

1. Make sure the webcam is connected and not blocked by a physical shutter. If external, try another USB port.
2. In Windows 11, open Settings → Privacy & security → Camera and check Camera access and Let desktop apps access your camera.
3. Close other apps that may be using the camera, then reopen it in LiveSwapAI. On the web, check the browser's camera permission too.
4. Try the camera in another application. If it is still not detected, see Microsoft's camera troubleshooting guide.

LiveSwapAI avoids using its own virtual camera as the input; a separate video input, such as a physical camera, is needed.
