With the ongoing corona pandemic 2021 many people still work in the home office. As a result, last year already saw a massive rush for webcams. With programs such as Microsoft Teams, video conferences can be carried out in addition to managing projects. However, users have been struggling with various problems for some time. However, this only affects users who use MS Teams in combination with an NVIDIA GPU. Among other things, problems arise with the color display.

NVIDIA has now confirmed these errors and a solution is currently being worked on. The camera model used does not seem to play a major role at the moment, although primarily users with a Logitech webcam complain about the problems mentioned. The colleagues from Heise, on the other hand, reported display errors with a Sony Alpha camera on an Elgato Cam Link without the Logitech driver installed.

Who belongs to the affected user group , can try to see if disabling GPU hardware acceleration in Microsoft Teams can help. In addition, so far only the NVIDIA driver version 460. 09 affected. However, if you are still holding back with a corresponding update for this reason, you should check whether the ad driver is in the versions 460. 84, 457.49 such as 452. 66 is installed. NVIDIA is distributing a patch for this to close serious security holes. All information about the vulnerabilities in the NVIDIA driver can be found here.
