How To Fix Facebook Messenger Camera Not Working In Windows 10

Did you upgrade your Windows 10 build recently? Then chances are, you are facing errors while using the webcam. Many users do and that’s why we are here. The webcam may stop working for Skype, Hangover, and even for Facebook Messenger.

While the Facebook messenger is an extremely popular video calling medium these days, giving tough competition to Skype and WhatsApp, it also gets an error when trying to make a video call. The problem seems to be with the web camera and that’s again due to the latest Window 10 update. However, it can be fixed. Let’s see how.

 

Solution: Through Registry Editor

 

Step 1: Press the Windows + R keys together on your keyboard to open the Run command. Now, type regedit in the search field and hit OK to open the Registry Editor window.

 

 

Step 2: In the Registry Editor window, navigate to the below path:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform

 

Now, on the right-hand side of the pane, right-click on an empty area, select New from the right-click menu, and click on DWORD (32-bit) Value.

 

 

Step 3: Name the new value as EnableFrameServerMode.

 

 

Step 4: Double-click to open the Value. In the Edit DWORD (32-bit) value dialogue box, check the Value Data field. It should be set to 0. Press OK to exit.

 

 

That’s all. Your problem should be resolved now and you will now be able to use the Facebook Messenger camera.
