I am using my Pavilion as a desktop PC with an external monitor attached. At times I'd like to use for instance Microsoft Teams for video calls. I am, thererefore, attaching an external web camera (Logitech) to the laptop. Problem is that I cannot see how to choose which camera to use in Teams, or if you like to tell my laptop that I want to use the external webcam instead of the internal webcam. (It's somewhat awkward to set up the laptop in front of the external screen.
I will appreciate any good advice I can get.

Connect the external webcam / camera to the system, for example, using an available USB port.
Open the Windows camera application.
In the upper right corner, below the dash, box, and X
Click on the little camera icon surrounded by a circular arrow.
The "camera switch" also works to switch from a front facing to back facing camera in your device.
