Having been on Fab for a few years now and being used to Windows updates, browser updates, webcam firmware updates, I now can’t get my cam to work with any browser, must be time to leave Fab and join somewhere where the tech will actually work?

What are you using? Laptop, mobile, tablet?

Using an up to date PC, up to date windows and McAfee, Mozilla Firefox and tried Google Chrome, up to date Logitech webcam, all worked fine, but no recognition of a webcam since yesterday.

Something must have conflicted recently?

I'm using Firefox and Linux, works fine for me. Sounds like you need to try another browser ie Safari or Puffin. Otherwise it may be an issue in your settings somewhere.

But then if you choose to leave fab because of a minor technical issue that's up to you. Good luck whatever you decide.

Puffin works really well

Will give it a try, don’t really want to give up Fab but if you can’t access it, then it’s as useful as a Betamax video!

Have you checked your browsers settings? make sure that in Permissions fabswingers has access to your camera, and hasn’t ended upon the settings blocked list

Hi, might have sorted out the no cam issues.

Local broadband speed had dropped severely, enough that the cam wouldn’t work, when trying everything I deleted Mozilla Firefox and just used the Microsoft Edge that you get with Windows 10 (you don’t even need to download the latest version of Adobe flash, it’s there already, you just click allow once) and I was back up and running, not fault in Fabs I.T. just crappy updates and slow local broadband!
