    Default Webcam


    I have a Yoga laptop with camera which I keep closed because I have 2 large monitors.

    I am in Windows 10.


    I just bought a new Nexigo webcam for the top of my monitors so I can do Skype, etc.

    It is connected and I see it in my devices but I think I need a way to to make it my default Camera.


    Can you help?

    :)
