I cant find my built in webcam since the icon dissapeared on my toshiba satellite pro

Try here for software and drivers for your machine: http://www.toshiba.co.uk/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK

Try installing the driver for it...here is a link to Toshibas site with the webcam drivers, just choose the correct operating system and downlaod and install.

The Toshiba Satellite C655 does not have a built in microphone, but it does have a mono microphone jack.
The following website has microphones that are compatible with the microphone jack. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007675%20600011221&IsNodeId=1&name=3.5mm
You may verify at Toshiba's C655 website. It says "No Webcam and microphone built into LCD bezel". http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/C650/C655-S5049
Compared with the L670. It says "Webcam and microphone built into LCD bezel". http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite-pro/L670/L670-EZ1710
I hope this answers your question.
Sincerely, Nathan Hicks

You need the driver for the webcam to work. Toshiba did not have the webcam driver listed separately for download. You may find it in the toshiba drivers for update to windows 7 here http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/bulletin.jsp?ct=SB&soid=2476028&ref=EV

***However first do READ which laptops the drivers are for and make sure it includes yours! They are not for older laptops. There's two versions to download. There's a link on the page above to read before downloading and installing the toshiba drivers. Not every thing will run under windows 7 yet*****

Unfortunately it is not uncommon for toshiba's laptops to out live the built in webcams....

The L300-ST2501 and the L300-ST3502 are built with Webcams and there IS a microphone built into those webcams.

The L300D-ST3501 and the L300D-ST3503 are NOT built with webcams or microphones.

Hope this helps!

i have no controls for the built in webcam on my toshiba satellite pro m300

Sounds like a driver problem. Which version of windows are you using?

goto control panel and then hardware and then sound option and then microphone

You can download from this link :

You should be able to use the built-in windows application. It is located in the Control Panel under Scanners and Cameras. Just double-click the icon for your camera.
