    Adding external webcam to Surface Book 3


    I've reinstalled the logitech software and attached 2 different logitech webcams in every single USB on my laptop Surface Book 3 and restarted my laptop multiple times. My laptop knows the webcams are plugged in because I can see it on device list but all it says under it is "driver error." Using the logitech software, all it says is that "no camera is attached." I've tried to find the camera using the windows camera app but it doesn't list the external webcam as an option. Anyone know how to fix the problem? I talked to my company's IT department. They retried all the things l did it didn't work. They think I have a Windows error and that they'll have to copy my drive, wipe my computer, and then reinstall Windows. That seems extreme, timely, etc.

    :)

    Using my Surface Book 3 AS an External Display

    Hello!

    So I just got my Surface Book 3 today and I have been trying to use/connect it as a
    3rd Display for my Main Desktop PC. For whatever reason, my PC cannot find my Surface Book when I try to do the Project Screen (wirelessly). However, when I try this on the Surface, it locates
    my Desktop PC almost immediately and I can project to my monitor. It is really slow though.

    My "Project to this PC" settings are configured to allow projection on both devices. Currently my PC is connected through Ethernet and My Surface Book is connected to the same network on WiFi.

    I would be using the Surface Book 3 as my 3rd display if this Is possible. My drivers are all up to date so I don't think that is the issue either because I can locate my Surface Book in my PC Bluetooth settings under "Other Devices"
    But Not under "Wireless Display or Dock". If the projection does not work, is there another way that I can connect my Surface Book as an external display to my Main PC through possibly Display
    ports and maybe a docking station?

    Thanks,

    Surface Laptop 3 with external monitor

    Hi All,

    Has anyone come across an issue with an external monitor blacking out while connected to a Surface Laptop 3? I have the laptop connected to a widescreen laptop with the Surface Dock. Both work fine however, once every hour or so the external monitor blacks out and comes back.

    I've completed the following:

    • Updated laptop drivers and firmware
      • Updated monitor drivers
      • Swapped out monitor
    [/LIST]
