Surface Camera too dark

Brilliant, thank you . But what a palava.. Trust M$ to make it over compliocated.

Thanks!

I no longer look like I am teaching from a cave..

Thank you heaps - this has not been easy to find a solution - this solution works brilliantly. Thank you

This worked for me!

Thanks so much! I have had 3 lights on my face and i bought a ring light to try fix this - none of that made me any brighter. But your fix did!

The front camera on my Windows 10 Surface Pro 3 was too dark in Zoom (and in the Camera app). There are many folks asking how to adjust the brightness, but none of the answers in the posts I found work and all the posts were closed.

I discovered how to adjust the brightness:

1. Open the camera app. (Home, Camera)
2. Click on Settings in the upper left corner.
3. Under Camera, Pro Mode, Show advanced controls for photos and videos - click to "On".
4. On the right side of the window, select the video camera icon.
5. A little circle with a slash through it and a number below it will appear on the left side of the window.

    Click on this icon and a brightness slider bar will appear. Adjust the brightness to what you want.

6. Close the camera app.
7. Open Zoom and the new camera brightness should be in effect there, too.

Wow! I've been trying to figure this out for months. 

Thanks
