Webcam Settings

[Sidney99]

Are there any settings for manually adjusting the webcam display, such as zooming in and out, focusing, etc.? Using Windows 11 and Camera app is shown as "Camera 2022.2206.2.0" on an HP 24" all-in-one. The re are few controls listed in the Settings menu and just keep thinking I'm missing something, as have seen many videos on adjusting camera settings, assuming they are present. Thanks.

Hi @Sidney99 

this can be realized by software such as YouCam.

YouCam 10 - The Best Webcam Software for Windows | Features (cyberlink.com)

Thanks - appears YouCam is free for 30-days and is then on subscription;  are there others to consider without additional costs,  as this is not the most essential item for me, as would expect these features to be included with the base product.

you can try  YouCam for HP but it is much more limited.

Thanks. Appreciate the referral - have downloaded YouCam for HP and it does the basics needed; however when on a Zoom meeting, it is not active, so I must be missing how to have it operating with the webcam when being used by another app, such as Zoom, as assume that can be accomplished. More digging to figure that out!  🙂

You will not be able to obtain this with this version of YouCam for HP, the Webcam programs that can interact with Zoom, are all paid.

Thank you for the information - at least nice to know I wasn't missing something. Suppose I'll either live with the conditions as is, pay for additional capabilities, or wait for Microsoft to address the issue!!  LOL 🙂  Your responses have been appreciated.
