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.
