If you own a Logitech webcam like the popular C920, Brio, C922, or C930 and want more control over the zoom or positioning so you look better in virtual meetings, the Logitech Camera Settings app is something you will want to download and use. This app allows you to zoom in the camera and adjust other settings even while you are in a Zoom, Teams, Webex, or Google Meet meeting.

Download and Install the Logitech Camera Settings app

After checking around, I found a registry hack that would flip the image being displayed, however the software would still reverse the image when saving a picture or video. So, if you plan to use the webcam as a baby monitor (or any other kind of monitor), the hack will let you reverse the picture being shown.
You can flip the image vertically and horizontally if you right click on the capture device (webcam) in the Sources menu at the bottom. It's been a couple of months since I've done that, but it's definitely do-able with OBS and the cam software. Share on other sites. Posted November 23, 2015.
The Flip option allows you to flip the image vertically. This is beneficial when camera is mounted upside down and you want to view the image right side up. The Mirror option allows you to flip the video image horizontally so it is a mirrored image. To enable the Flip and/or Mirror options, click in the available checkbox.
Edit the Windows Registry to Stop Webcam Mirroring. Note down the make and model of your webcam. In the Windows search bar where it says “Ask me anything”, enter “regedit”. Right click on Class and select Find. Enter the manufacturer name and model e.g. Logitech Quickcam Fusion and click “Find Next”. Click “Settings” and look.

Start by going to Logitech’s Support website at https://support.logi.com. It will likely direct you to the support site for your geographic region. Click on the Downloads item in the menu to see the apps you can download. Look for the Camera Settings app. Here’s what the page looked like when I wrote this article in March 2021.

The Camera Settings app is the blue icon on the left in the second row.

Click on the icon or the app name and it will take you to the download page after auto detecting your operating system (it comes for Windows or Mac). Download the app and install it on your computer.

Start/Join the Zoom or Teams meeting first with your video

A webcam can only feed one app at a time so in order to have your webcam working in the Zoom or Teams meeting, you need to join the meeting and turn on your webcam in the meeting. This is an important sequence to follow. If you start the Camera Settings app first, your webcam will not be available to the meeting platform and you will see an error message telling you that the selected webcam is not available.

Start the Camera Settings app

Once your webcam is in use in the meeting, start the Camera Settings app that you installed. You will see the controls and settings but will not see a preview in the app. That’s because the webcam is showing in the meeting.

Use the Controls and Settings in the app

Even though you don’t see the video preview in the app, it can still control the webcam and allow you to adjust what is being sent to the meeting platform. The controls and settings you have will depend on the webcam model as some models allow different adjustments.

The most common adjustment will be to zoom in so the other meeting attendees can better see your face. Us the “+” button on the Home tab of the app to zoom in. You may have to wait a moment to see the adjustment in your video in the meeting. Use the directional arrows to adjust yourself in the frame if you are cut off in any direction. Here’s the Home tab for my Logitech C920 in Windows.

Sometimes the full controls are not shown when the camera is in the fully zoomed out position since the adjustments for positioning are only applicable when you zoom in.

Full-screen preview at the start of Teams meetings doesn’t show changes

If you are the only one in a Teams meeting at the start, you will not see the camera adjustments in the video preview that Teams shows you full screen before others join. When someone else joins the meeting, your small video preview in the lower corner will now show the adjustments. I am not sure why Teams does this but it is concerning when you don’t see the video change in full-screen preview mode at the start of the meeting. After everyone else leaves and you are the only one left in the meeting, the full-screen preview will correctly show any camera adjustments.

Default vs. zoomed in

Here’s what I look like with the default positioning. My camera is on top of my monitor about 24 inches from me.

Here’s what I look like with the camera zoomed in one step and my image adjusted in the frame.

Now the attendees can see my facial expressions much better when I present.

Because the camera is showing less of your body, make sure that any hand gestures you use will still be seen in the camera frame.

Minimize the Camera Settings app during the meeting

Once you’ve used the Camera Settings app to adjust your video, minimize the app, leaving it running during the meeting. If you close the app, the adjustments you made to the video may be lost, so it is best to keep the app open and minimized during the meeting. This app takes very few resources and should not impact the performance of the computer in the meeting. When the meeting is over you can close the Camera Settings app.

Explore Advanced settings

The Advanced tab in the Camera Settings app contains other settings you may want to adjust. I tend to leave these as the defaults but see if they might give you a better video in the meeting. I suggest you leave the autofocus and auto white balance on as manually adjusting these can be a lot of work during a meeting.

Advantage over Logitech’s Capture app

Logitech also offers an app called Capture, that gives you control over the webcam. It actually is an app to capture video but it also offers a virtual camera to Zoom and Teams. The adjustments in the app allow you to show a better video in the meeting. The problem for some people is that there is a slight lag between the video being shown through the app and the audio being captured by the mic. This delay can be very distracting for the attendees. The Camera Settings app controls the webcam directly without adding any delay so the experience for the attendees is consistently better.

Works when showing webcam in browser window

Using the Camera Settings app to control the video also works when you are showing your webcam video in a browser window. In this article I explain how to use a small HTML and javascript file to display the webcam video in a browser window. You then use Zoom’s multi-window sharing option to share your video beside your PowerPoint slides in Reading View. The Camera Settiongs app will adjust the video shown in the browser window.

Control your Logitech webcam with the Camera Settings app

By downloading the Logitech Camera Settings app you give yourself more control over your video in Zoom and Teams meetings.
