Is there a way to adjust the camera on my laptop to make the view smaller - more close-up

[Babster88]

Not having any problems, just want to make the camera view smaller if possible. Right now my entire room is in view - want to make view smaller. I don't want people to see all the room just me and the screen behind me. 

Thank you for any help you can provide.

@Babster88 Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you would like to adjust the camera to make view the smaller (more close up).

In Windows 10 the Camera app doesn't include digital zoom, but you can get an effect similar to zooming if you take a photo and then crop it:

1. Select Start  > Photos .
2. Choose the photo you want to crop.
3. Select Crop & rotate .
4. Select Aspect ratio  and pick from the preset options or drag the borders where you want them.
5. Select Save a copy > Save.

Keep us posted,

Thanks for the suggestion. I also purchased a big wicker screen to be behind me - that way when I zoom folks won't be seeing my lack of organization - just a tasteful back drop. Thanks again for your answer.
