Macbook Pro 2018 Camera not working in Bootcamp for Native Win 10 Apps

Hi,


Im having trouble with the Camera in Bootcamp (Macbook Pro 2018 15 inch). Whilst MS Edge and some Windows Store apps work fine with the camera (inc Skype & Windows Camera app), all other (Native) win apps just wont work (Chrome, Onenote, Skype for Business, Hangouts, Firefox e.t.c).


The native apps do detect the camera (IBridge FaceTime HD Camera (Built In)) and the green Camera light does come on but there is no video, just a black screen (or in the case of S4B an error saying it cant connect to the camera right now).


Checked on Device Manager and its using the Microsoft driver not the Apple one:

I already installed bootcamp drivers 6.1.7000.0 and tried to update the driver manually to the bootcamp AppleCamera64 driver but Win 10 wont allow it saying there is no compatible driver in that location. (..\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple\AppleCamera\AppleCamera64.inf)


Im using Win 10 Pro v1803.


Any help would be much appreciated.

No afraid not, Windows is fully up do date.


Ive even tried a forced driver update but it refuses to recognize the apple drivers as valid Win 64 drivers (for my machine atleast).


Ive noticed that someone else raised a similar question in April:

Bootcamp FaceTime HD Camera not working


They didn't follow up on it which is a pity.


Could it be a MBP 2018 specific Bootcamp issue? And do you know of any drivers I could use?


Thanks

So in bootcamp.xml, Camera driver details are as follows:

<Name>FaceTime HD Camera

<InfName>AppleCamera64.inf</InfName>

<Class>Image</Class>

<ClassGUID>{6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f}</ClassGUID>

<CatalogFile>AppleCamera64.cat</CatalogFile>

<Provider>"Apple Inc."</Provider>

<DriverVer>09/30/2016,6.1.6500.0</DriverVer>

<ServiceBinary>AppleCamera.sys</ServiceBinary>

<HardwareID></HardwareID>

<isX64>yes</isX64>

</Name>


However this isnt the driver I see in Device Manager under that device and I cant upgrade manually to it either.

UVC devices, by definition, are 'driverless'. Notice that your current driver is the USBVideo driver, which is the appropriate driver. Can you test S4B on the macOS side and check if it can see your camera?

Sep 21, 2018 7:07 PM in response to Loner T

Ok so Microsoft werent much help, confusing bootcamp with a VM and ultimately saying that Office 365 isnt supported in bootcamp. Im challenging the response so we'll wait and see.


I managed to figure out an interim solution though. Installing ManyCam app installs a Virtual WebCam Driver.


Pointing OneNote, S4B and Chrome to the virtual driver allows webcam streaming to work. Granted you need to have ManyCam running in the background and it takes up some CPU cycles but atleast the web cam is usable in various applications.
