How to change the webcam settings on Windows 10 or Windows 11
Your webcam settings can affect or affect your online video calling experience. Luckily, you can tweak your settings and choose a mod that is more suitable for your needs on Windows computers. In this article, we’ll look at how to change the webcam settings on your Windows. Let’s start.
How to change webcam settings on Windows
To tweak the webcam settings on your Windows, you must first get into the camera settings. Here’s how you can do that:
- Go to start menu Search bar, type “camera” and select the best match.
- The camera will start. Now select the settings icon on top of the camera.
- A new settings menu will launch. From here you can tweak almost everything related to your camera settings: grid, photo quality, time-lapse, and so on.
These are some of the ways to tweak your webcam camera settings on both Windows computers. But of course that’s not all. They also have some impact on your privacy while using the camera. All you have to do is access your webcam’s privacy settings and make the changes from there. Let’s see how.
How to change your webcam’s privacy settings
To change your webcam’s privacy settings, you must first go to the Settings menu. Here’s how.
- Launch Windows Settings by pressing Windows key + I.
- Now choose Privacy & Security.
- Choose camera under the App Permissions Tab.
Here you will find a variety of privacy settings to choose from and make changes to. For example, you can choose the apps that have access to your camera as you see in the list below.
Just turn on or off the app you want your camera to have access to. Alternatively, you can disable the camera for all apps by turning off the camera access switch.
If you are using Windows, the steps are only slightly different. Go to Settings and select Privacy > Camera.
Similar to Windows 11 above, you can make changes to camera settings from here.
