html5 camera APi not working, grey box with camera ban sign shows on screen?

I was trying to access my camera using the HTML5 camera API. For this I was had been viewing some tutorials/examples :

https://tagawa.github.io/GumWrapper/example.html https://davidwalsh.name/demo/camera.php

But none seems to be working in my browser. It asks for camera permission which I allows as always share,

enter image description here

but even after that my browsers (Both Chrome and Firefox) shows a grey box with camera-ban symbol.

what am I doing wrong ?

The problem is not in the HTML, suprisingly - the problem is in your camera setting:

Windows 8 / 10:

  1. Open the Windows Start Menu and search "Lenovo Settings".
  2. If you do not have Lenovo Settings, please install form the Windows App Store.
  3. Select "CAMERA" from the top icons Scroll to the bottom of settings, and change Privacy Mode from "On" to "Off".

enter image description here

Windows 7:

  1. Open the Windows Start Menu and search "Lenovo - Web Conferencing".

  2. Once opened, start the camera and close the Lenovo - Web Conferencing application.
