    Try downloading the Dell webcam Central software from the below link and let us know if the Webcam works.

    Hi mgtiradentes91,

    1. Open ‘Device Manager’ by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type ‘Device Manager’, and then, in the list of results, click ‘Device Manager’.

    2. When the device manager pops up, in the list please check for ‘Imaging devices’.

    3. Please click on the arrow mark beside ‘Imaging devices’.

    4. Check if you are able to see the Dell webcam listed.

    5. Right click and uninstall the device

    6. Restart the system and check if windows installs the driver automatically.

    7. Please attach the snapshot of the device manager.
