Re: SmartDashboard Laptop Camera Black Image

I have the same issue. Using Toshiba Portege R705 Laptop. If I start the camera using Toshiba's web camera app I see myself and the light on the camera is on. Then SmartDashboard gives me an empty black box. Otherwise SmartDashboard gives me a small orange box stating no connection along with a window to select the camera. If I close the Toshiba web camera app SmartDashboard gives me the same. If I start SmartDashboard without the Toshiba app it gives me the orange box. If I start Toshiba Web App, Then Start SmartDashboard, Then add camera, I get a black box. Then closing and restarting Toshiba Web App states that the camera is locked by another device. The camera light is still on.

Also when I add the laptop camera, if toshiba app had been running, I get a screen to select the camera. But the pull down box doesn't stay there and the apply button never indicates I've made a camera selection and enter doesn't do anything. I still get the black screen.

I have no clue what to try next. Except graciously ask for help.

Thanks.
