VS (Windows) – Camera material doesn't show up in the layer

If you're using VS on Windows and the camera material doesn't display when loaded into a layer (even if it previews correctly in the browser), this is likely caused by a Windows camera sharing setting.

To fix this, enable multi-app camera access in Windows:


  1. Open Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Cameras
  2. Select your camera from the Connected Cameras list
  3. Click Edit in the Advanced camera options section
  4. Toggle "Allow multiple apps to use camera at the same time" to ON


After enabling this setting, the camera material should display correctly in your layer.
