Hey, my webcam started showing up as a red box. I tried to fix this by deleting all webcams from global sources. Then I deleted and re-added the "video capture device" source. Any ideas? Changing the resolution didn't seem to do anything.
The red box means that the webcam driver is having an issue. Download the latest one and/or uninstall the driver from the Device Manager and reinstall it.
The weirdest thing happened today. The webcam video worked in obs, but I got the error "an error occurred initializing microphone audio." So, as the PC illiterate I am I used my most powerful tool. Computer restart. Only now I have the exact same problem (red box).
I updated the drivers through the device manager. I don't know how I would uninstall individual drivers. Should I go for a uninstall/reinstall?
To uninstall a driver, go into Control Panel->Device Manager, find your webcam in the devices list, right click->Properties, Driver tab, Uninstall button.
That's really weird though that it worked briefly.
