How to Install & View My Logitech Webcam

Connect your webcam only when directed to do so.

Founded in 1981, Logitech creates a number of computer peripherals, including mice, keyboards, game controllers, speakers and webcams. The webcam line includes dozens of actively supported devices. Logitech webcam users may use the device with instant messengers, to create videos and to upload them to YouTube, to take photographs, and to participate in video calling, such as Logitech's own "Logitech Vid" software. Check your system specs and compare them with the Logitech webcam's system requirements before beginning the installation process.

Instructions

1. Insert the Logitech webcam's installation disk.

2. Allow Windows to detect and to start the disk with the AutoRun feature.

3. Click to install the webcam software. Follow the on-screen prompts, and plug in your Logitech webcam directly into an available USB port when instructed to do so by the software. It may take a few minutes for Windows to install the webcam.

4. Complete the software installation, including setting up your audio device to work with your webcam, if applicable.

5. Restart the computer. Allow Windows to launch your webcam software so you may view your Logitech webcam's input.

6. Mount or adjust the position of your webcam according to your on-screen picture.

Tips & Warnings

• Download the latest version of your Logitech webcam's software if you do not have an installation disk.

Open the "Imaging Devices" category, then double click on your Logitech webcam. Click on the "Driver" tab, then click on "Update."
