Windows 10: GoPro as a webcam

As I'm sure that all of you know, it is virtually impossible to get a webcam for under $70, which led me to wonder if I could use my GoPro Hero 5 black as a webcam for Zoom?

I don't any fancy 4k stuff and would prefer to do it without having to buy any additional stuff.

Hi FrankFarmer1,

However, Windows 10’s GoPro App for Desktop doesn’t always recognize a connected GoPro camera. Then the camera doesn’t appear in the app, and an error message might even pop up. These are a few resolutions that might fix GoPro App for Desktop when it doesn’t
recognize a connected camera.

Open the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter

First, open the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter in Windows 10. That troubleshooter can fix numerous issues for connected devices, such as GoPro cameras. Users can utilize that troubleshooter as follows.

Connect the GoPro camera with a PC.

Open Cortana by pressing the Type here to search button on the taskbar.

Input ‘troubleshoot’ in the search box and click Troubleshoot.

Select the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter listed in the Settings app, and press the Run the troubleshooter button.

Users can then select an Apply this Fix option to fix detected issues.

If this doesn't work, please check the other possible steps here in this article:

Hi,

Since you mentioned that you already reinstalled the driver for your webcam, we suggest that you perform these troubleshooting steps to resolve your concern:

• Run the troubleshooter for Windows apps.
• Install the driver using the compatibility mode.

Get back to us with the results of the suggested troubleshooting steps.

 

Windows 10 GoPro Studio

As a workaround, I was able to run it in Compatibility Mode as Windows 8

I pinned it to my Taskbar, then...

• Right-click the icon for it
• Then right-click "GoPro Studio" in the context menu that pops up
• Choose Properties
• Select the Compatibility tab
• In the Compatibility mode section, check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
• Select Windows 8
• Try running GoPro Studio again

Hope that helps and that GoPro puts out a fix for this soon.
