    How do I switch the camera in the camera app?


    I record videos for YouTube and I thought I would buy a webcam for better picture quality for my videos. How do I get the camera app to switch to the webcam rather than using the built-in camera on my laptop? Thanks!

    :)

  3. Change the camera that the Windows 10 camera app uses.

    Unintuitively, the icon in the upper left that looks like it's meant to switch between your front and back camera will also cycle through your other attached cameras. At least, this worked for me on a Surface Pro 4 (front and rear camera) with a USB Microsoft LifeCam attached. The Camera application's version is listed as 2018.227.30.1000.

    From How to use the Camera app:

    1. Open the Camera app.
    2. Swipe in from the bottom edge to see the app commands.
      (If you're using a mouse, right-click within the app.)
    3. Tap or click the Change camera button.
