How to Use a Logitech Webcam
Before you can use a Logitech webcam you must install the proper drivers from the manufacturer. While generic drivers may suffice for your model, you still won't get the most functionality out of your hardware until you obtain the specific drivers from Logitech. You probably have an installation disk that came with the camera, but the drivers may be out of date. It's best to obtain the latest version online, from Logitech's website. After properly installing the necessary drivers, any application that makes use of your camera should do so without issue.
