Step 4. In Settings, click on “Audio and Video”. On clicking it, the pane on the right side will start showing you your image in front of the camera. You can be sure that it is working if it shows a live video of yourself. According to your privacy and webcam settings, you can also take a photo snapshot of yourself.
