Windows 10: Default Webcam For Camera App

Is there a way to actually set a default webcam for the camera app? Please, don't tell me to disable devices or anything. I want to SELECT A CAMERA THAT DOESN'T SHOW IN DEVICES AND PRINTERS. This is crazy that I can't select an OBS Studio virtual webcam. It's like the most default thing, yet it's not obvious to even do this.

Setting up a webcam as the camera default

Hi Kevin

Method 1: If the Webcam is listed under Devices and printers, please follow the steps.

a. Press Windows key + R

b. Type: control printers

c. Hit Enter

d. Check if the Logitech webcam is listed.

e. Right click on Logitech webcam.

f. Click on Set this device as default.

Follow method 2 if webcam is not listed.

Method 2: What best we can do is we can disable the Internal webcam. You will be able to enable the webcam anytime you want.

choose default webcam windows 10?

Thanks for the reply.

• No, I didn't changed anything.
• I have 4 webcams 2 real and 2 virtual. (Logitech Brio, Logitech C920, Droidcam, Reallusion virtual cam

I need to chose the default webcam, because UWP apps work bad when wrong camera is chosen at the start. For example, camera app will not let me change the camera if the first one do not works with it as intended. That is why I really need the ability to
chose the default webcam. And that' not only me, many people seek the answer for 2-3 years here.

 

Camera app - webcams only?


Is the Windows 10 camera app only for webcams or something? I tried connecting my Canon IXUS 95IS and Windows detects it properly but the Camera app doesn't.
