I've installed skype so I can talk to my nephew in London and my SIL in Rio.  I've allowed the app to access my microphone and camera and it works for the microphone but it says it can't discover my camera.  I have done everything I can think of but can't make it work.  I'm running windows 10 version 1903.  Anyone have a clue?

I do.  Suddenly the computer is telling me that neither my camera nor my microphone is discoverable.  I'll just keep muddling along.  If I can't figure it out I'll take it to the fix it man.

Muggers, I thought that because there were buttons to turn on and off my mic and camera, and because Cortina kept nagging me wanting me to talk to her, that I had both a microphone and camera, but may be not.  Mug, I have the exact same computer that you have.  Do you have both or either?

This is so hard for me.  I down loaded a microphone yesterday and I can't even make it work.  If I can't figure it out later I'll call my 'puter fix it guy.
