USB Camera Disabled

Since the MS LifeCam is not listed in the Product list, I had to chose the ESP32 Cam in order to submit the question.

Problem: Can not connect the MS LifeCam again. Steps to reproduce:

  1. Plug in the Cam
  2. Open the ARC
  3. Project->Add->Camera Device

    User-inserted image

  4. Start

    User-inserted image

    After playing around with the ARC Camera Features, closed the Camera Device without saving the Camera control to a project:

    User-inserted image

  5. Closed the ARC, switched off the PC.
  6. Later on tried same as from the Step 1 and got the message:

User-inserted image

  1. Closed Camera Device and ARC, removed the MS camera. 8.  Plugged in the camera again. Opened the ARC and started as from Step 1 and again same message: "Camera Disabled".
  2. Switched off the PC. Switched on and tried again without success (same message).

What I have done wrong to stop camera working?

Note: Did not use any Windows app related to the camera before I run the ARC. Later checked the camera with the Yawcam and VLC applications and camera worked fine. The camera is brand new, just opened from the box.

Wow that is interesting.  Did you know it doesn’t matter if you have a keyscrambler that anyone with a microphone still knows what you are typing based on the sound of your key strokes.  I did some work around this in the 90s even filed a patent  to prevent this.

alexa is listening.
