Discord device troubleshooting

Discord Camera Not Working

Verify the webcam outside Discord before changing video settings or treating the camera as failed.

Evidence first

What the independent test changes

If DeviceOK passes

A DeviceOK camera pass means the camera can stream to the browser; prioritize Discord selection/permission/app conflict.

If DeviceOK fails

If DeviceOK fails too, return to camera detection, shutter, connection and OS/browser access.

Safe sequence

Check these in order

  1. 1

    Run DeviceOK Webcam Test.

  2. 2

    Check Discord camera selection and camera permission.

  3. 3

    Close another app if it has exclusive use of the camera.

  4. 4

    Compare the camera in the operating system's camera app if DeviceOK also fails.

Verify

Retest instead of guessing

After changing one setting, run the independent DeviceOK test again before moving to a more invasive step. This preserves evidence and avoids changing multiple variables at once.
