How to connect and install webcam in laptop
How to install webcam, UVC camera to windows 10, 8,
If you own a USB webcam, you’ll need to follow these instructions to get it up and running.
1. Connect the webcam to your laptop
The webcam should have a USB cable that plugs directly into one of your computer’s USB ports. If your cable doesn’t go in the first time, turn it 180 degrees for correct installation - USB cables only go into the port in one orientation
If you have a Mac, it’s likely you’ll need to invest in a USB to USB-C adapter in order to work with a regular webcam
2. Install the webcam’s software (if necessary). There may be a CD that came with your webcam and if so, place it in your CD tray. If your webcam doesn’t have a CD player, you can usually find the software and drivers on the webcam company’s website in the support pages. Before you spend too much time hunting for the drivers online, try step 3 (below) since many models no longer need to install software.
