notification - "No video device" feedback examples


My app uses the webcam, some users may have a device not supported or even no device at all.


Could you guys give an example of "negative" feedback to the user? I can't decide.


"No device detected"


"No supported device detected"


"No video feed available"



"Nothing to show"


"You don't have a webcam"


"Sorry, no video device"


":("


Maybe show a black square (where the video feed should be placed), an old tv static image, etc...


English isn't my native language... So...



Answer



The best error messages help guide the users towards a solution (if you have the room). What about something like this: "To use video chat (or whatever the feature is), please use a device with a video camera"
