  1. How to change the name of a webcam?


    My first post here, so my apologies if this isn't appropriate for this sub. I've spent a couple hours trying to figure this out on my own. I have an external, USB microphone and cameras (a wired lapel mic and 2 Logitech C925e cameras). I can easily change the names of audio devices in Sound Settings and have those set up the way I want. However, I cannot find a way to rename my cameras. They both have the same default Friendly Name of "Logitech C925e Webcam" so there's no way to tell them apart by their names.

    I did see how this can be done in the registry, but I don't have admin rights on this work-issued computer. Is this really the only way to do it? Seems strange since changing audio device names is so easy and user friendly.

    Thanks!
