How to zoom webcam on Envy 32

[agbiggs]

I have an HP Envy 32 all in one desktop with an integrated webcam. By default it takes a wide angle photo, which isn't great from Zoom or other video meetings. I can't find any settings to zoom the camera in tighter. Does anyone know of how to do this? Thanks!

Hi@agbiggs, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

We reviewed your post and I understand that the need help changing the setting in Zoom,.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

View your video feed and change your camera.

Camera

• Camera: Select the camera you want Zoom to use.
• Video ratio: Select Original Ratio (usually a 4:3 aspect ratio) or HD (usually 16:9 aspect ratio) 

My Video

• Mirror my video: Horizontally flip your video. This option is useful if your camera flips your video by default.
• Touch up my appearance: Apply a softening effect to skin to minimize the visibility of imperfections. 
• Adjust for low light: Improves video brightness and quality in low light surroundings. 
• Always display participants name on their video: Display participant's name overlayed on their video.
• Turn off my video when joining a meeting: Automatically disable your video when joining a meeting.
• Always show video preview dialog when joining a video meeting
• Hide non-video participants: Hide participants' thumbnail if they don't have video-enabled. Thumbnails for non-video participants display their name.
• See me as the active speaker while speaking: Place your video as the primary active speaker on your own screen when you speak. 
• Maximum participants displayed per screen in Gallery View: 
  Choose between 25 participants or 49 participants (if supported by your device)
• Advanced: View advanced settings

Thanks very much. Is there any way to control the camera via an HP app or setting? I often use Microsoft Teams, which doesn't have any adjustments for video zoom, etc. I know that webcams like logitech include that kind of software.

It's unfortunate there's nothing for the Envy 32 All in One. It's a very expensive computer, so disappointing not to have these basic capabilities, especially when so many people will use it for video meetings.
