Logitech C920 Webcam Mac – Mojave Compatible

Another computer issue in the world order. This time an individual had a question about Macintosh computers and webcam compatibility. Here is the original initial question quoted verbatim below.

I need help getting my new Logitech C920 web cam to work.

This individual was using a Apple Macintosh mini computer with Apple Macintosh Mojave 10.14 operating system installed. They had purchased an application from the Apple Applicatin store called “Web Cam Settings”. What a fucking waste of money.

Anyways, they had watched another Youtube video to try and help them install the Logitech C920 on their Apple Macintosh mini computer with Apple Macintosh Mojave 10.14 operating system installed. This is what solved this conundrum.

You can download and install the Logitech C920 webcam software from the following link.

They were then able to use their Logitech C920 webcam with their Apple Macintosh mini computer. When it comes to Logitech web cameras and Apple Macintosh computers, it can become a crap shoot. It really depends on the exact model of Logitech web camera you have on whether or not you will be able to use it.

Also, important is what Apple Macintosh operating system you are using. You do NOT necessarily want to assume that your Logitech web camera will work with your Apple Macintosh computer. Also, you do NOT want to necessarily assume that the operating system you are using on your Apple Macintosh computer will be compatible with your Logitech web camera.

You could always first find out what exact web camera model you have or wish to purchase. Then find out the exact operating system you are using. For this example this individual was using an Apple Macintosh 10.14 Mojave operating system.

Then you want to verify on Logitech’s website whether or not your Logitech web camera will work or not. Sometimes there will be a software download available. However, depending on the exact operating system and Logitech we camera model, there may NOT be any software download available for your Apple Macintosh computer.

Also, you want to first install the software onto your Macintosh computer. Then once that is accomplished successfully, you connect the web camera to a Universal Serial Bus port on your Macintosh computer. Finally, you open up a video software application similar to Facetime, Skype, etc. to test your web camera.

These instructions were written for an Apple Macintosh mini computer with Apple Macintosh Mojave 10.14 operating system installed. You could certainly use the basis of these instructions for other computers and operating systems. Linux operating systems and Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Astaire's ronconi day in akhira calm

00:14

otro video paraty boy do you know how

00:20

you can get rid of YouTube subscribers

00:24

walls you have to do is say something

00:26

offensive and I don't I don't [ __ ]

00:30

care about subscribers I just notice

00:33

every time I upload a video my

00:35

subscriber numbers dip for a day or well

00:38

you know a little while it's like well

00:40

who [ __ ] cares all right let me get

00:42

to this video let me cut to the chase

00:48

I need help getting my new Logitech c920

00:54

webcam to work this individual was using

01:00

a Macintosh mini Mac and crap I mean

01:04

running Mojave operating system which is

01:07

OS 10.14 anything else that they

01:14

specified

01:20

they bought some webcam software that I

01:23

never heard of called Apple app or off

01:30

the apple app store called webcam

01:32

settings they also purchased the webcam

01:34

at Office Max what else it shows up in

01:39

their apps folder they try to launch it

01:42

and then there's a dialog window that

01:44

opens but all the tools are grayed out

01:47

that's probably because the Macintosh

01:49

does not detect the webcam so this video

01:54

is obviously the title of the video you

01:58

know what what is it

02:05

logitech c920 webcam mac Mohave

02:08

compatible yes it is and here is how you

02:11

make it work now but now I'll say that

02:15

in overtime I don't want to cut to the

02:17

overtime yet trying to make Logitech

02:26

webcam work on Apple Mac and crap can be

02:28

a [ __ ] pain in the ass they're not

02:31

all compatible it just really depends on

02:33

and you got different versions of

02:35

Macintosh operating system so let's just

02:37

stick with the title of the video Mojave

02:40

this is not about Sierra hi Sierra

02:43

El Capitan you know now this is about

02:46

Mojave

02:56

here is the answer they even tried to

02:59

watch another YouTube video I didn't

03:01

watch that YouTube video so I don't know

03:03

but they did claim that they tried to

03:08

have the Mojave McIntosh work with the

03:11

Logitech c920 webcam couldn't get it to

03:14

work

03:21

- work alright my audio obviously works

03:30

here is the answer right here so you're

03:33

gonna want to click on the link in the

03:35

description box below that'll take you

03:37

to my blog post at a gnat computers comm

03:39

where you are going to download a pkg

03:43

file which is specific for Apple Mac and

03:46

crap Macintosh operating system

03:47

basically it's kind of like like a

03:49

driver however when it comes to Apple

03:52

Macintosh and Logitech webcams they

03:55

don't all need drivers and they don't

03:57

they're not always compatible so it's

03:59

just it to me it's a [ __ ] crapshoot

04:01

you know I'm saying it just really

04:02

depends on though the version of these

04:07

holley weirdos are weird I hardly ever

04:10

watched television the last few days

04:12

I've turned it on cut just to see what

04:14

garbage is on there and it just gets

04:16

more and more sick especially the

04:19

entertainers and the narcissistic

04:24

athletes and I was just oh my god what

04:27

the [ __ ] man anyways I think Lady Gaga

04:31

was on and what the [ __ ] is that freak

04:35

show and anyways anyways I digress

04:42

you're going to download the driver you

04:45

can download and install the webcam

04:47

software from the following link

04:49

it's a pkg file and once you download

04:54

and install it you're Macintosh you run

04:57

well running oh my god there's one

04:59

YouTube I can't name him because I don't

05:01

I don't get personal there's one YouTube

05:05

content creator in the technology niche

05:08

he might be a YouTube Technology shell

05:10

I'm not sure but he gets offended if you

05:13

use the word running to describe using

05:16

an operating system like this example

05:19

running Microsoft Windows 10 running

05:22

Macintosh Mohave I'm not making this

05:25

[ __ ] up he gets all [ __ ] offended and

05:28

gets all riled up and I've heard him get

05:30

all angry on his videos I'm like

05:32

language is just abstract it's just a

05:35

way to communicate I don't know why

05:37

you're [ __ ] so uptight over just the

05:39

word or the phrase running I guess he

05:42

thinks that you're a [ __ ] idiot and a

05:43

[ __ ] if you use that verbage to

05:45

describe using an operating system I

05:47

don't know a lot of these youtube tech

05:49

technology [ __ ] a lot of them

05:51

are obviously to me they're very

05:54

narcissistic they're very arrogant and

05:56

they're very conceited and they're

05:57

easily offended hide address back to

06:00

this so click on the link in the

06:01

description box below it'll take you to

06:03

my blog post Sainik appears calm where

06:06

you will be able to download the

06:08

software to get your logitech c920

06:12

webcam to work on apple macintosh mojave

06:15

10.14 anything further I have not

06:21

written a blog post I won't be writing

06:22

the blog post for another couple of days

06:24

I record these videos I create a search

06:29

engine optimized title and then with

06:32

YouTube YouTube is a dumpster fire it's

06:35

a [ __ ] waste of time almost I still

06:37

make some money off for YouTube but the

06:39

content per million the CPM just tanked

06:43

so I don't even really worry about

06:45

making money at this point I just you

06:47

know it's like whatever

06:48

but however some of my videos still

06:50

receive tens of thousands of views last

06:54

year

06:55

I think I've had a I had a few that

06:57

received eight or thousand 10,000 that's

07:00

not bad but the days of a hundred

07:03

thousand two hundred thousand five

07:05

hundred thousand now those days are gone

07:06

I think unless you're a technology shill

07:09

and you got him anyways I don't want to

07:11

die aggressive bus subscribers alright

07:13

so I have not written a blog post but

07:16

when I my videos this is over time now

07:20

you can [ __ ] leave you probably are

07:21

really left I don't [ __ ] care when

07:23

you leave just make sure you watch the

07:25

video and make sure that you watch the I

07:30

[Music]

07:34

normally don't talk about that but make

07:36

sure you watch that okay

07:49

over time

07:52

this [ __ ] below me is too loud

07:55

their [ __ ] TV is too loud or they're

07:58

talking too loud the problem is it's

08:01

after hours and there's nobody in the

08:03

office and I don't even know if I can

08:06

call them complaint I could guess wait

08:08

until tomorrow

08:09

but they're really [ __ ] on my nerve

08:13

all right I record my videos I search

08:19

engine optimize the title that's very

08:21

important and then because of the way I

08:25

create my videos it could be days it

08:29

could be weeks it could be months it

08:31

could even be six months it might even

08:32

be a year until I see a lot of views on

08:35

my videos and so that's why I don't

08:38

obsess over right in the blog post

08:40

because I do not record my videos for my

08:43

subscribers I don't [ __ ] care how

08:44

many subscribers I have and you know I'm

08:47

saying anyways alright so this is

08:50

overtime with regards to the

08:54

compatibility with logitech webcam and

08:58

macintosh it's a crapshoot it really

09:00

depends on the model and also the

09:05

version of Macintosh operating system

09:07

that you are using here I'm saying

09:14

I cannot tell you if Catalina supports

09:18

Logitech c920 probably not Catalina has

09:22

been a disaster I'll be blunt and

09:23

[ __ ] honest Mac and crap

09:25

Catalina oh oh I'm watching myself on

09:35

YouTube

09:36

I don't like YouTube anymore for many

09:38

reasons and another reason is their

09:40

their [ __ ] dashboards just anyways

09:48

probably not Catalina

09:50

because Catalina is pretty new and it's

09:54

been nothing but a disaster there's a

09:56

lot of software that does not work with

09:59

Catalina we're talking about big-name

10:02

software that is not compatible TurboTax

10:07

what else I think Adobe some of the

10:09

dhobi and you know what I'm saying and

10:13

then like I said stipulated earlier when

10:14

it comes to webcams

10:16

well it well more specifically

10:18

succinctly I don't see many Rick I don't

10:21

receive many questions about other brand

10:23

web cameras it's almost always logitech

10:26

and when it comes to Macintosh it can be

10:29

a disaster so Catalina probably does not

10:32

support the Logitech c920 but I could be

10:35

wrong

10:36

so here's it here's a tip before you buy

10:40

a logitech webcam if you own a Macintosh

10:44

computer it really doesn't matter it

10:46

could be an older one or even a

10:48

brand-new one with Catalina 10.15 make

10:52

sure and in its if it's important if

10:55

it's important that you get your webcam

10:59

works on your Macintosh then look

11:05

beforehand before you purchase the

11:08

logitech webcam make sure it's

11:11

compatible look up the the

11:13

specifications the hardware

11:15

specifications even on the box it

11:18

probably should tell you and because a

11:21

lot of these computer clowns what they

11:23

they just assume never assume

11:26

now it's not the the staples easy button

11:30

never assume that your hardware device

11:33

will work really on any operating system

11:35

but you know we're talking Macintosh I

11:39

would say especially Macintosh because

11:42

Macintosh compared to wind blows in my

11:46

opinion a lot of the hardware is is this

11:50

not now it's not gonna necessarily be

11:53

compatible

11:54

well B probably it could be because

11:57

Microsoft has the market share in

12:00

computing what is it seventy-five

12:01

percent whatever so it has the majority

12:06

of the market share that could be part

12:08

of it never assumed that a hardware

12:11

device is going to work on any computer

12:15

Linux Windows Macintosh so that's my

12:18

goal tip of this video before you run

12:20

out to buy a logitech webcam or order it

12:23

off of Amazon or Ebay or wherever make

12:28

sure that that exact model first you

12:30

need to know the model that's another

12:32

problem that these computer clowns give

12:34

me is that they don't even know how to

12:36

look on the hardware device itself under

12:39

on it there's a sticker or they threw

12:42

away the box or they don't even know

12:43

what model of webcam the person and I'm

12:46

like my logic just tells me that how is

12:49

that possible that you buy any kind of a

12:50

hardware device and you don't know what

12:53

the model is

12:56

here's another tip save the box or save

12:59

the pamphlet that comes with it if it

13:02

has hardware specifications you're I'm

13:05

saying or just use your brain I mean

13:07

take take the time to remember what

13:10

hardware what model you're using a lot a

13:12

lot of times with hardware devices and I

13:16

think that that webcam right there I

13:18

think probably has the model on a

13:20

sticker underneath or are underneath

13:23

it's probably on it if not you know I'm

13:25

saying you should really understand and

13:28

know what technology you're using to me

13:30

there are no excuses you know I'm saying

13:31

it because I'm an [ __ ]

13:32

all right any other tips and then make

13:37

sure once you know what model of webcam

13:41

I need to run because I'm almost at the

13:43

15 minute mark I try to keep my minute

13:45

my videos shorter than wow around 15

13:48

well it depends on what type of video

13:49

but a video like this now I don't need

13:51

to be talking this long

13:54

I'm just giving you some extra tips as a

13:57

real-world computer technician once you

14:01

know the model number very important

14:05

logitech's website they always have

14:07

drivers or they have information about

14:09

your webcam and then that's where I go

14:13

directly I always go I always try to go

14:15

directly to the source which in this

14:17

case would be logitech comm then once

14:21

you know the model numbers in this

14:24

instance is the c920 which is very

14:26

popular they I think they still sell

14:28

them brand new even I think on their own

14:30

website I think I could be wrong but I

14:32

think definitely on what Amazon and eBay

14:35

brand new because it's a it's a good

14:37

webcam that's the c920 that is recording

14:42

this video it records I think in 1080p

14:45

even if not 720p

14:54

find out what versions of Macintosh

14:59

operating system it is compatible with

15:01

you have to know because no you can't

15:05

just buy a logitech webcam and hook it

15:08

up to your Macintosh and expect it to

15:11

work out of the box

15:12

no not for my experiences not no because

15:15

you just never you never know there are

15:19

some logitech webcam that do not work

15:21

actually some don't even work on Mac at

15:24

all I think they might be older ones or

15:27

whatever and don't us and then

15:30

definitely do not assume that when a new

15:33

operating system rolls out like Catalina

15:35

that oh it will work with you know the

15:39

latest and greatest or any old Logitech

15:43

webcam no now I'm not allowed to check

15:46

affiliate but I think I I think I've

15:48

tried to become an affiliate and I

15:49

couldn't find I don't think they have

15:51

like a official affiliate program

15:53

logitech alright have to look again I'm

15:57

not allowed to check to affiliate

15:59

however I want to become an affiliate

16:01

and they're from my experiences they're

16:05

pretty [ __ ] good webcams in my

16:08

opinion they're the best because like I

16:10

said as a computer technician I don't

16:12

receive that many other requests for

16:14

other brands really because it's like I

16:18

mean when you think of webcams

16:21

who do you think though I don't they

16:24

must have a monopoly I mean I don't know

16:25

they're they must have the market share

16:27

of the majority or something because I

16:29

very rarely see any other brands they're

16:33

not perfect they're not gonna be perfect

16:34

you're I'm saying but you know overall

16:38

pretty [ __ ] good and then one once

16:40

you get the proper software installed

16:43

shouldn't be a problem

16:44

and with on the Mac I got to run on a

16:46

Mac let's see they they open FaceTime

16:49

they use FaceTime which i think is yeah

16:52

that's free on on a Macintosh and they

16:55

asked me if they if they needed to leave

16:57

the Logitech software open no just as

17:00

long as you install the software on a

17:02

Macintosh which you download it and you

17:05

drag it

17:05

you can you know double-click it to open

17:08

it or you can also drag it to

17:10

applications to install it and then

17:13

we're gonna run the installer and then

17:15

once that's done you don't really need

17:17

to leave it open

17:18

same thing on Windows actually just make

17:21

sure that you install the driver or the

17:24

software and then that then similar to

17:28

printers wait until you install the

17:31

software first and then then hook up the

17:34

webcam or read the QuickStart guide

17:36

read the instructions if you do

17:40

everything correctly you can open up

17:43

like on a Macintosh FaceTime is free you

17:45

can use that to test it and it should

17:47

work all right so that's my video about

17:50

the logitech c920 webcam macintosh

18:00

compatibility adios and good luck

18:10

you
