ThinkPad Camera is not Working

I found it odd when Skype wasn’t detecting built-in camera of my ThinkPad W530. I’ve done everything I’m aware of to troubleshoot and even reinstalled the driver but still no luck. Next day, while playing around with the new apps found on the Windows 8 Start screen I noticed that there is a new app “Settings” tile from lenovo. Inside that I found two settings for camera, “private” and “normal” were two options. “private” was the default setting and it disabled the camera completely from all application, be it Skype or Lync. I just flipped the setting and camera is back.
