my camera is in black and white. How do I change it to color?

Hi Community,

I had this same issue, and finally found my fix.

In Zoom, WebEx, etc.. webcam was in color and fine. In MS Teams it was Black & White, so I knew it was specific to some setting, not a defect.

I installed Skype for Business, as I noted that Webcam controls are much better.

Open up Skype for Business and if it tells you that TEAMS is the more current app, ignore that and continue to open Skype.

Navigate to the settings for Webcam

You can play with all of the complex settings in that window, or just click defaults, and then save.

These new settings, corrected whatever I had done in the past to make my Camera show as B&W in the Microsoft platform

Hope this helps.

Thanks DCShupe, that advice actually fixed my camera as well.

So, Microsoft engineers should put a bit more attention in the next iteration of the Camera App. I'm pretty sure that the lack of control settings in that App is what led to this problem from the start.

Cheers
