Hi Kabiasygodphrey,

As I understand that you would like to use webcam on your computer. You can follow the steps below for the same:

Please click "Start" at the bottom left corner.

You would see Search Programs and Files window (it is text box).

In the text box, please type “Dell Webcam Central” and you would see a black icon at the top.

Please click the icon and the webcam would start working.

If you are not able to see “Dell Webcam Central” software, you can download the latest version of Dell Webcam Software for your Dell computer. You may perform the following steps:

1. Click the URL mentioned which will take you to Dell Support Website:

http://support.dell.com/

2. Click “My Account” in the upper right corner and sign in with your Dell My Account in the popup box
3. Under “My Software” section on the right side of the page, click "Download Factory Installed Software (My Dell Downloads)"
4. Click the checkbox that agrees to “Terms and Conditions” of My Dell Downloads website and click “Register System” at the bottom of the page
5. At “My Download Locker” page, click the registered system that corresponds with the computer on which you are downloading “Dell Webcam Central Software”
6. Under “Title” section, look for “Dell Webcam Central Software”. There may be more than one listing for this software title
7. Select the listing with the latest version number in “Version” column. Click the checkbox under” Download” column for this software, and at the bottom of the page click “Download now”
8. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation
9. Once Dell Webcam Central Software is installed restart the computer

If the above step does not work, please click on the link below to install the drivers for Dell Webcam:

Please download and install the webcam software, which should fix the issue:
