I have two computers, both Windows 10 and up to date. On the first computer I'm using Access 2016. I opened up the database and clicked the WEBCAM button. The webcam light came on for about a second then all I got was a green screen. When I clicked the CONFIGURE CAMERA button and then simply clicked OK, the webcam came on and showed me a live feed. I was not able to save any images.
When I went into the customer record and clicked the TAKE PICTURE button all I got was a black screen and I was able to save that to the record, but no photo. So for Access 2016 it didn't work for me.
On computer #2, I used Access 365 and it worked flawlessly. The only thing I noticed is I had to disable all but one video device or it wouldn't work. I have a video converter box, and a capture card attached to the system, as well as a webcam. Once I disabled the other two devices the webcam and the database worked as designed.
