We have investigated the common issue of Windows failing to select a specific camera and have developed a couple of workarounds to address it.
1. Disable Other Camera
When applications use a camera, they usually call upon the default or first available option. By turning off the internal camera, you remove its availability, forcing the system and all applications to recognize and utilize your preferred external camera as the go-to option for video input.
2. Selecting Drivers as Default
By going through this process, you basically tell your computer to prioritize the external camera’s drivers over the internal ones. This prompts your system to automatically choose the external device anytime an application requests camera access, avoiding the need to manually switch cameras each time.
