Cannot place SmartDashboard camera widget

I have the SmartDashboard opened through the driver station, but I go to view, add, and no "camera" or "laptop camera" option appears. When I run SmartDashboard on its own, the options appear.

Any ideas? The electronics and camera are connected, communication and code is good: What are we doing wrong?

Re: Cannot place SmartDashboard camera widget

What dashboard option do you have selected in the dashboard?

Dashboard Type - Controls what Dashboard is launched by the Driver Station. Default launches the file pointed to by the "FRC DS Data Storage.ini" file, by default this is Dashboard.exe in the Program Files\FRC Dashboard folder. LabVIEW attempts to launch a dashboard at the default location for a custom built LabVIEW dashboard, but will fall back to the default if no dashboard is found. Java and C++ launch the SmartDashboard included with the language update for that language. To use the SmartDashboard with camera extension leave the option set to Default and see the SmartDashboard section of the documentation.
