    @Randall – Yeah, that is an IP camera, so as long as the proper control software is installed, the vertical axis control issue will be a mechanical issue. Especially considering if it is 7 years old, chances are you’ll need to disassemble it if at all possible.

    I have an EasyN cam f series that was purchased 7 years ago. I have it up and working on both a win 7 and win 10s PC. in a browser control window (both firefox and a Microsoft edge) Everything except the vertical axis controls are working perfect. any ideas about what the issue may be? I assume it’s not software, but perhaps a mechanical or wiring issue.

    @LAzar – You’ll need to provide some more details about your webcam problem. You want to move your webcam with your mouse??? What program are you using?

  8. LAzar says:

    @Robinhood – What picture libraries do you mean? Your own local library or do you mean online libraries?

    For online libraries there are free ones and commercial ones. For the commercial ones you will need to purchase the images and download the image after that.

    For free online libraries, in general there is a download function. If not, try right-clicking the picture and use the Save as image option.

    Once you have a local copy of the image, you can upload it to your website through a hosting file manager or FTP.

    @PleaseHelpMe – Can you provide some more details?
    What webcam model exactly? And did it come with software?
    Which Windows version?

  14. PleaseHelpMe says:

    Hi, I’ve just bought a webcam from Tesco for £2 but there is always an error sign coming up saying that “there a problem with the installation”. Is there anything that I can do Kyle? Thanks

    @Lilly37 – I am assuming you already downloaded and installed the correct driver for the Lenovo b560 camera?

    Does the webcam device show up at all in the Device Manager? If so, as an unknown device or is it recognized as a webcam?
    One thing you can try is to power down the laptop, remove the battery, wait a few minutes and then put the battery back and reboot. That can often help fix certain USB issues (the webcam is connected through USB internally).

    Kyle,
    help! I’m using a Lenovo b560 laptop Win7 x64 Home Premium & it came with a built in webcam. Recently I’ve had some problems with the webcam not working at all & have had to un-install/re-install probably a dozen or so times it’s getting really frustrating! I don’t use my webcam alot but would like to be able to in Skype/etc whenever I want to talk to family & friends. I have done everything you’ve said to here ^^ & still nada :/ what am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated & thank you in advance

    @dilip – First thing with upside down webcam images is to reinstall the drivers. That is the most common cause of this problem.

  19. Kyle says:

    @sandra – Try updating or reinstalling the adobe flash player software, that is often used online for webcam control.

    i’m trying to take a profile picture on my built in cyberlink youcam on my facebook timeline but when i click on take it says reset i don’t know what they mean it shows me but it won’t take pictures my drivers are up to date i checked i don’t what it could be it works in skype and windows live but won’t work on facebook

  21. Kyle says:

    @Ada – In most cases an upside down image from the webcam can be fixed be (re)installing the right webcam driver.
    Otherwise, try an updated driver if available.
    Some drivers also have a registry setting to change the webcam image. Look for the term “FLIP” in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM]CurrentControlSet, and change the value from 0 to 1 or vice verse.

    how to I fix a webcam that shows the screen upsidfe down?

  23. Kyle says:

    @am – Live Central 3 has voice effects that can be used during webcam sessions. Have you tried disabling those?

    @Joan – Hard to say what the problem is in your case. From your statement I take it that the webcam is an external USB webcam, so try using a different USB port if you can.
    Of course also try reinstalling the webcam driver and Skype software.
    Last thing to try is an older/different version of Skype. Updates sometimes introduce problems with some (older) webcams.
