The issue occurs when a user attempts to utilize the system or device camera in Discord, only to find that the camera does not function (occasionally displaying a black or green screen). Consequently, the other party sees only a black screen with a never-ending loading icon. Before we begin, verify that your camera functions properly in other applications (particularly the default camera application) and ensure the privacy settings on your device or system permit camera use in Discord.
Solution 1: Update Your Windows to the Latest Build
Solution 2: Rearrange Your USB Devices (USB Camera Only)
A camera might not work if your USB ports are overloaded. Rearranging your USB devices might help.
Solution 3: Launch Discord with Administrator Privileges
Launching Discord with administrative privileges might resolve the issue due to increased security features.
Solution 4: Reinstall the Camera Driver
Updating or reinstalling the camera driver might help if the driver is improperly configured, outdated, or corrupt.
Solution 5: Change Your Default Camera
Changing your default camera might help if Discord cannot access your camera because it is being used by another application.
Solution 6: Reinstall the Discord Application
A corrupt Discord installation may cause camera issues. Reinstalling Discord could resolve the problem. If the problem continues, consider resetting your system/device to factory defaults or using Discord in a web browser until the issue is resolved.
