  1. Changing Default Camera to Logitech External USB Camera


    I want to set the default camera for videos e.g., GoToMeeting, Skype, Zoom to a USB-connected Logitech Webcam PRO 9000. I have downloaded the Logitech software and confirmed the camera is working.


    However, while I see the Logitech device in Control Panel -> Devices and Printers, I cannot change that camera to the default camera by right-clicking on it. There is no option for that, onlySound Settings, Create Shortcut, Remove Device, Troubleshoot, andProperties. Troubleshoot found no problems, and there is nothing under Properties to allow me to set it as the default camera device.


    I also tried disabling the default built-in camera under Device Manager first. That didn't fix the above issue either.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Default Camera


    I know this is an old thread, but unless I'm somehow missing something, Edwin's "answer" is simply unrelated to grandpavic's question.

    Every idiot knows how to set the default MICROPHONE, although not every idiot can turn it into a complicated 10-step process as thouroughly as Edwin.

    Probably for this reason, "how does one set the default microphone?" is just one of several BILLION questions that grandpavic did NOT ask.

    Grandpavic, I have never seen a documented answer to your question. I have the impression that the camera which is used by the modern "Camera" APP is the defiault camera. You make this choice in the main window of the Camera app itself: there is a little "switch-me" icon in the top left corner of that window. Click on it until the camera you wish to choose is displaying its video in that main window. Then close the camera app. (annoyingly, most "modern" apps don't have any "quit" button, and in fact you were not supposed to quit them at al. Newer versions of these apps seem indeed to exit the app when you close their main window, so you don't have to worry about the memory footprint wasted just to choose a default. In any case, the default web cam of the system is the one the modern Camera app last used,

    But that is just my empiical observation . I wouldnt normally allow myself to post some personal speculation as an 'answser' in such forum as this. But you asked a LONG time ago, withought receiving a single answerl. So i wanted to se what i could do
