Sorry, no webcam was found on your system.

But it’s right there! Go figure. OK, you might receive the "Sorry, no webcam was found on your system" error for any of the following reasons:

  • You don't have a webcam installed on your system (duh).
  • You have a webcam installed, but it is not plugged in to your computer.
  • Another application is using your webcam. Close the other applications and try again.
  • Other applications might have crashed or not released the camera. Try rebooting your system.
  • Your camera might not be installed correctly. Try reinstalling your camera.
  • Yahoo! Messenger is using the incorrect camera device. Try changing the camera source.
  • Your camera might not be configured correctly. Try configuring your camera.
  • Your camera is not compatible with Yahoo! Messenger. Take the webcam compatibility test.
