I just installed Windows 8.1 64-bit. This is weird because I've used Win 8.1 before and don't remember ever having to give my webcam permissions to specific apps.
However, when I launch Windows Essentials - Movie Maker, I see my webcam in the OPTIONS window, but no stream, just a black window.
I had the same issue with Skype.
I found a support article showing how to get to the webcam permissions screen (in Metro: win+c, type webcam, click on webcam privacy settings. I enables Skype and all is well in Skype.
Essentials Movie Maker is not listed and there is not way to "search for other apps" or the like.
I just started using Movie Maker on my Win 7 laptop and it just worked, even with the same USB webcam and the built in webcam.
Any help or direction is greatly appreciated.

Recently, Windows Essentials was updated. Windows Photo Gallery 2012 now shows a build number of 16.4.3528.331.
How is that build version different from the previous version?
What bugs were fixed?
What new features are there?
What previous features were removed?
What are the impacts on existing cataloged media files and metadata?
Would it be possible to answer each one of these questions?
Thanks
