Windows 10: How do you share USB WebCam over Home Network

I have a Logitech C922 Pro Stream Webcam set up on PC1 which is a USB device.
How can I use that camera on Laptop1? Laptop1 is on the same network ad PC1. I want to be able to select the webcam from PC1 to use for applications on Laptop1 that use Webcams.

Sharing a USB drive over wifi network

Ok, I found the answer. Simply by renaming the computer in the living room solved the issue.

Thanks for the answer from another post

Perform the following troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

• 
  go to "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System"
  
• 
  under the "Computer name, domain and workgroup settings" click the shielded "change settings" option (far right)
  
• 
  on the "Computer Name" tab, press the "Change" button (bottom right)
  
• 
  rename the computer to anything other than what it is now
  
• 
  follow the restart prompts
  
• 
  using another computer you should now be able to use windows explorer to refresh the computers on the network (under "Network" drop list) and access the newly named computer, it will ask for credentials (username and password) in my case that is the
  targets Microsoft id and password, this grants full access to anything shared on that computer
  
• 
  repeat these steps on any other computer not allowing access on the network
  

Keep in mind all of my sharing permissions are open with full control, and remember as an example if A is on A’s computer and he wants to gain network access to computer then he has to enter Microsoft username and password

Also I would suggest you to download and install the latest drivers from the manufacturer’s website.

 

Cannot access shared network drive

I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!

If other USB devices are also not working then Then the issue may arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or corrupt or if your PC requires an update for issues that may conflict with a USB device and
Windows. This may also occur if your USB controllers may have become unstable or corrupt. So, I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if the issue persists.

Method 1:

Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

• Open Device Manager by pressing Windows key + X and select
  device manager from the list. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
• In the list of hardware categories, find and expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
• Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers node, and then click
  Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
• Restart the computer, and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
• Plug in the removable USB device, and then test to make sure that the issue is resolved.

Method 2

The issue could be if the drivers are not updated or get corrupted. So, try to install all of the Windows updates available and if issue persists, try to update the USB
and mouse drivers by following the steps provided in the article mentioned below.
