Qcamerainfo availableCameras not work in windows 10

[cvitagliano]

I use Qt 5.10.1 and am trying to run an application on windows 10, but the QCameraInfo::availableCameras().count() statement always returns zero, ie it does not find a webcam installed on the notebook. This same application runs normally on Linux, Mac OS and windows 7. I have already enabled the camera on the OS so that all applications can access the webcam. Is there any "trick" to make this statement run in windows 10?

Hi,

You should also add:

• Which exact version of Windows you are using
• The model of the camera
• Whether it comes with a special driver

Find Driver of that Webcam for Windows 10 OS or Simply goto settings -> Update -> Check for Update. Then may be you will get essential driver for Webcam. After this restart your machine and execute program again.

@Prince_0912 As stated in his post the camera already works:
"I have already enabled the camera on the OS so that all applications can access the webcam."

@jsulm i had same issue like this, i have asus webcam that is supported or working in win xp , 7 , vista , 8 but not in 8.1 and 10. Since application is same. So what kind of that issue occurs if this type is not?

@Prince_0912 The webcam is working in other applications, but Qt app cannot find it

@jsulm ok i understood. This below funcrtion might be helpful and it return the Object and before use it he must to check to isnull or not if null then there is no Camera device at all.
QCameraInfo QCameraInfo::defaultCamera()

I think version may affect to this type of issues.
Thank you @jsulm

@SGaist Hi, i use Windows 10 Home Single Language 64 bits, version 1803, and the camera is a webcam embedded in a Samsung laptop/notebook.

More hardware information might help. Did you get any error on the console when running your application ?
