Hi Komal,

Can you please let us know:

  • Does the webcam preview window work?
  • The model (name) of your webcam?

Please also try updating the driver of webcam to see if it helps.

Regards,

the preview of camera is working but its slow to show
webcam is inbuilt in laptop. i see these two names in Device Manager in Control Panel window - pls see attached file.
I tried to update these camera drivers - its saying the best one is already installed, no updates available also

Thanks much

Thanks for your information.

According to the log, ActivePresenter could not detect these two cameras. The common reason for this issue is their drivers use the old Windows API (DirectShow) while ActivePresenter uses the new one.
Unfortunately, there is no quick solution for this problem at this time. If you don’t need to use the features in version 8, you can consider installing version 7 which uses the old API (https://cdn.atomisystems.com/apdownloads/ActivePresenter_v7.6.0_setup.exe) to see if it works.

Regards,
