Webcam Does Not Work or is Not Detected on the Dell S2422HZ or S2722DZ Monitor

Users of a Dell S2422HZ or S2722DZ Monitor may experience an issue with the monitor's integrated webcam. The webcam does not work or is not detected while using the following applications:

• Windows Camera Application
• Conference Applications:
  • Zoom
  • Skype for Business
  • Webex
  • Citrix GoToMeeting
  • RingCentral Video
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Google Meetings

The two root causes to identify are:

• The webcam has not popped-up and is not visible on the top of the monitor.
• The USB cable between the monitor and the computer is not plugged in.

Use the following steps to resolve this problem:

1. Ensure the cabling from the Monitor to the computer or docking station is correctly plugged in.

   • USB Type-C to Type-C cable

   • USB Type-A to Type-C cable, and an HDMI cable

   • USB Type-A to Type-C cable, and a DisplayPort (DP) cable

   NOTE: USB Type-A to USB Type-C, HDMI, and DP cables are an optional purchase and do not ship with the monitor.

2. Ensure that the webcam is in the popped-up position. (The webcam is only enabled in this state. See Figure.1.)
