FaceTime HD Camera (Built-in) wont work on Windows 10 Pro in Bootcamp

[pers0n]

I got Windows 10 setup in Bootcamp, I got the Wifi and Bluetooth working from the updated Windows 10 drivers saved onto a USB drive that was updated in Bootcamp Assistant.

I've searched Google & DuckDuckGo, these forums, youtube, reddit and Apple support. After 2 hours of search and trying things I still cant get it to work.

My drivers look like (got this image from online {too lazy to do another screenshot), anyway my files are the latest date which is 3/31/2016)

I tried AppleCamera2015x64.exe and AppleCameraPre2015x64.exe on the bootcamp drivers USB drive I updated and got from Bootcamp Assistant. Rebooted and it wont work. Not sure what is left to do.

Post your device manager screenshot then click on the facetime camera and show it's error message screenshot as well.

Ok, I was researching how to get the right click to work and noticed "bootcamp" was not an option in the Control Panel.

I looked on the USB drive that had all those drivers at at the root of the "bootcamp" folder is a file called "Setup.exe" I then ran that and it took awhile, almost like it was locked up, but it installed the drivers for the camera. It also installed the right video drivers.

Nice. So everything's good to go?

I recommend installing custom video drivers, because Apple and AMD drivers are very outdated for Bootcamp'd macs.

check out bootcampdrivers.com

Yes it’s working now. Thanks, I’ll check those out. I also saw there are better trackpad drivers as well

Yeah I have the (better/github) trackpad drivers installed too, but I rarely use my laptop as a laptop anymore

Any ideas how change the settings, brightness and contrast, when using this camera in Microsoft Teams?

I hope this helps others; but I run Windows 10 on a Macbook Pro 2012, without MacOS at all. I have all things operational, mac drivers with windows are very tricky, but someone made it easier on us. They made a applcation the detches all the bootcamp software/drivers needed for all things mac to work (Lighted back Apple Logo, lighted keyboard, Bluetooth, and YES the Camera worked outta the box after running just this github source, and it fetched all the proper drivers for me and installed them, and is designed just for finding drivers for Macbooks (maybe Mac desktops too). Of course most of this applies to MACBOOKS THAT HAVE INTEL PROCESSORS; when Apple started making there own processors, they don't support running Windows, so with those processors to use windows you usually will need to use bootcamp to setup a windows boot (if possible) or youll have to figure that out yourself.

Here is the page to the WONDERFUL application that saved me so many headaches (after finding it myself). I got this macbook for free, and i hate MacOS, so naturally I wanted windows and thankfully its from the era Apple was still using INTEL PROCESSORS; if your mac doesn't have an INTEL PROCESSOR; and has a APPLE SIL PROCESSOR (this wont work for you! ONLY INTEL MACS)

Brigadier - Fetches all needed bootcamp drivers; so you can install windows just to the HHD/SSD and not have MacOS at all; this application is for you. If your dual booting on intel macs; just setup the windows install using Macs (intel) way to dual boot. Doing this MacOS will give windows all the drivers so you would not need the applocation, its for ppl who fresh install windows without MacOS to do the bootcamp ****.
