FabSwingers.com forum: CAM not working about to give up

Cannot get cam to work. I have followed all suggestions, installed latest chrome, latest flash, USB drivers. Flash, Cam and Mic all have permissions for the site. When I try to turn cam on it is just a blank white screen. If I click the cam icon and the small window appears, if I click this the cam switches on, but click close and it goes white again. I have also tried Firefox, IE and Edge, none work. This has been like this since a windows 10 update. Any ideas?

We have been having very similar issues although it eventually works after closing the window numerous times which can be a bit frustrating

to get your cam working click on the padlock in task bar then scroll down to flash then click allow on this site you may have to refresh the page

Try using internet explorer on Windows 10 rather then edge as this seems to work for me. Drop me a message if you need assistance

We have tried Edge, IE11, Firefox, Chrome with all the suggested fixes and nothing works. Guess there is no real support on this site. We have installed all the latest drivers for cam, all Windows updates, set allow permissions for cam, much, Flash and for website and still nothing. Never had problem a few months back. We do not think the usb cam is being detected properly by the software, though it works on all over software/sites. Time to give up

After searching the internet, came up with firefox blocking mixed content, as even though chat page is https, some of the content is not. I tried disabling the mixed content on firefox and still showing as blocked. Security is getting so tight now just because nothing works now lol

If we click adobe flash player settings and click the web can icon, we can see that the web cam is selected. If we then click the white square box underneath it turns the cam on in that box, but as soon as we click close the can turns off and the screen is white again. We have now tried everything now, guess it is unfixable

Ok I would recommend not to use any banking or sensitive stuff using that browser though... This browser is like a proxy..

We have mentioned this time after time after time.

This site runs Flash..its old and not many sites use this anymore.

Sure fixes work, but only for a while.

Every time windows gets a new update, you will be back to square one.

The site owners know this and to be honest we dont know why nothing has been done other than temp fixes.

Fab will always have cam issues...until (and there is no better way of putting this) the site owners pull there finger out and stop using a old prog like flash!!
