Windows 10: Set default Webcam for Windows Hello?

Hi,


I´m using a Dell Laptop with built in webcam which is Hello capable and I also use a Dell WD19TB docking station on which I have a Logitech Brio 4K connected also Hello enabled.


Usually it works fine: If connected to dock, the external Logi Brio is used to face unlock. And if I unplug from dock, it also works fine with the internal cam.


But from time to time when connected to the dock/Brio, Windows uses the internal cam for Hello. And as the lid is closed, it doesn´t see me. And then I´m stuck in this stage. Reboot, un-/replug etc doesn´t help, sometimes disabling internal cam in device mgr brings brio back as default, but not always.



I´ve already searched for the option to "set as default" but the Logitech Brio on W10 2004 ismissing this option.

Also disabling the internal cam in device manager is not a solution for me as Hello doesn´t work without dock.

In MS Teams for example the cams work fine with no issues at all.

:)
