I recently obtained a used Logitech C920 web camera off of Craigslist of all places. I wanted to have a video camera for Youtube videos. Also, I was presently surprised to see not one but two listed on Craigslist.org, which allowed me to just pick up the Logitech web camera locally.
The Logitech C920 web camera was not officially compatible with Microsoft Windows ten operating system, when I first obtained it. However, I was able to get it to work quite easily. I am using a desktop computer with Microsoft Windows ten professional x64 sixty four bit operating system.
I hooked up this Logitech C920 web camera with a universal serial bus cable and Microsoft Windows ten operating system immediately detected this device. You can test this device by using Microsoft Windows ten “Camera” application. You can click on the Microsoft Windows ten operating system start menu button and choose “Camera”.
This Logitech C920 web camera is limited with just Microsoft drivers. However, you can use this web camera with the version of Microsoft Skype that is installed in Microsoft Windows ten operating system. You can either attempt a Microsoft Skype video call or go to “Tools” then select “Options”.
In “Options” you can then select a “Video settings” tab. You should be able to see video from your Logitech C920 web camera in a window on the right hand side. If not, click on “Select webcam” and choose this webcam from a drop down list.
Your web camera settings will be quite limited without any Logitech software. You can download Logitech webcam software for your Logitech C920 web camera. This software allows you to adjust some web camera settings that are listed below.
* take pictures and record videos
* web camera gallery
* motion detection
* web camera control
* zoom in and out
* adjust contrast
* adjust exposure
* adjust gain
* adjust brightness
* adjust color intensity
* adjust white balance
I have not had any issues with this Logitech C920 web camera on Microsoft Windows ten Professional x64 sixty four operating system since I installed it back in April of two thousand seventeen. Logitech provides gaming software for this web camera as well. Although I have not installed and tested this software.
The Logitech web camera software supports Microsoft Windows eXPerience, Vista, seven, eight, and now ten operating systems. This web camera will record video in both one thousand two hundred eighty pixel by seven hundred twenty pixel resolution or one thousand nine hundred twenty pixel by one thousand eighty pixel resolution quality. I have used it to livestream on DailyMotion, YouTube, Twitch, and Periscope.TV, without any problems.
