The operation of PC webcams is similar to any other device connected to the computer. A specific driver is loaded once detected by the operating system, allowing you to use some of its functions, especially when opening a program that directly utilizes the webcam.

Before using an external webcam, follow these steps:

  1. Connect the USB cable of the device to a free port on your computer. USB ports have a rectangular shape and can be found on the front or back of the computer case (or along the sides for laptops).
  2. Next, connect the webcam to the computer and start the installation.

To verify the webcam on a Windows 7 PC, follow these steps:

  2. Double-click on "Imaging Devices" in the Device Manager section.
  3. Verify that the "Imaging Devices" section includes a webcam or another video device.
  4. If the webcam appears, proceed to update the webcam driver.

To turn on the webcam, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Start button to activate the webcam.
  2. Then, go to All Apps and choose Camera from the app list.
  3. After opening the Camera application, you can select "Switch camera" at the top right to switch between cameras.

To start the camera, follow these steps:

  1. Check the settings by going to the Start menu, then the Settings menu, then the Privacy & Security menu, and finally the Camera menu.
  2. Allow access to the camera on this device.
  3. Make sure the camera is enabled.
  4. Make sure apps can access the camera.
  5. Choose which applications to use.

To use an externally connected webcam without using a CD, follow these steps:
