Windows 10: How to get Microsoft Lifecam HD-5000 to work with Zoom?

Running on an ACER Aspire A515 with Windows 10 Home. The CD - LifeCam 3.0 will not install. So I downloaded the latest Lifecam 5000 driver from MS.

Connected up the Cam. The system does recognize it and claims to have installed the driver. The camera light on top flashes briefly. But I cannot get it to replace my laptop camera either on Zoom, or even the resident cam app.


Any ideas how to get this thing to work??


Thank you in advance!!

LifeCam HD 5000 Zoom Options

I recently dug out my old Microsoft LifeCam HD 5000 and got it running. Works fine. But I cannot find an option to change the zoom. The product details say it should have 4X digital zoom. Not finding it listed anywhere in settings. Not grayed out. Not
a back page listing for "Advanced" or any other path of solution.

I want to know if there is a way to find out whether the zoom feature even exists for this particular camera. If it does, then how do I find it? If it does not, then are there other reliable options such as apps or work-arounds?

Thank you.
