I'm trying to get a video feed from a webcam, and I've been using
cam=webcam(1); %webcam(1) is the webcam I want to connect to, found with webcamlist
preview(cam);
but all that comes up is a black screen. When I try the same thing with my computer's cam it works fine. I've made sure the webcam works with software I have on my computer. Any ideas what could be wrong?
