Logitech Webcam Drivers Windows 7

[Denisha Simcoe]

Ihave an old model Logitech Communicate Webcam (image here) and upon returning to the website to get a driver for it, I found that there are several models with slight name variants (none of which look like my webcam).

My answer is to avoid the Logi site revamp. Mine is a QuickCam S5500 I think, I couldnt tell it was so old. If you arent sure roughly for the name of your camera, even if you don't know exact, if you know its a "QuickCam" and its old, google that. Then switch google to pictures tab. I was able to find mine, S5500 I think. Anyway, for drivers files, go here, dont waste your time on their html site:

I am glad that worked. I was worried that the drivers were not "blessed" by microsoft. I have a Casio Title Printer that basically prints names on a CD/DVD and I cannot use it when Windows core protection is enabled. I have to disable memory integrity or the driver will not load.

Hello, I have been having the same problem with my c925e after updating to Windows 11. I've tried installing the LogiTune software, factory resetting the webcam, updating drivers through the control panel, and resetting my computer many times. I have seen that this particular webcam may not work with my Windows 11 type. If you could help me out with this situation it would be greatly appreciated.

Logitech webcams are incredibly easy to set up and don't require any special software. All you'll need to do is position your camera, plug it in to an available USB port, and you'll be ready to video chat, stream, and record! Once you've connected your Logitech camera to your computer, you can give it a test drive in the Windows Camera app or FaceTime on your Mac. This wikiHow article will walk you through the simple steps of connecting a Logitech webcam to any Windows PC or Mac.

When you connect your webcam to your PC or Mac's USB port, its drivers will install automatically. If you're connecting your webcam to a laptop that already has a built-in camera, you may need to select your Logitech camera when joining calls or recording video. You can also install Logitech Capture for added features.

To download the right driver for your Logitech webcam, identify your headset model and make sure the drivers you download are compatible with your operating system. For example, if you need controller drivers for 64-bit Windows 11, look for the version for that model. Next, click the Download button and wait for the download to complete.

Logitech webcams are upgradeable. All you need to do is download the drivers for your webcam model. One of the most popular models is the Logitech C170. It is a compact-wired webcam that can be greatly enhanced with Logitech software for Windows and macOS.

You will then need to install the Logitech C170 drivers. In Windows, this can be done through the Control Panel: go to the Device Manager. Then select the wired webcam, choose the option to install the driver and follow the instructions.

Overall, keeping your Logitech C170 driver updated can potentially lead to a slightly smoother video experience, improved microphone performance in rare cases, ensure compatibility with newer software, and resolve bugs that might be affecting functionality.

I just updated Zoom Meetings to the latest version and all of the sudden my Logitech C922 Pro Stream webcam stopped working with Zoom meetings. The camera works fine in all other applications that I have tested (Teams, WhatsApp, Logitech settings, Windows Camera). Zoom recognizes that the camera is plugged in, since it is an option under video settings, and the microphone on the camera is working fine in Zoom Meetings. But when I try to enable video in a meeting, it just shows a black screen (or a frozen image if I switch from my built-in camera to the C922). I am fully up-to-date on Windows 10, the latest Zoom version, the camera drivers, and all my graphics drivers. I have tried turning off and on all the settings I can find in Zoom video settings, and restarted my computer multiple times, and nothing has worked.

If you have tried downloading Logitech webcam drivers manually, you might know that it is not easy to determine which software is driver software due to the unclear names. In addition, you have to download the correct driver for your Windows version.

It doesn't seem to matter if I choose Pin 0 or 1, I still get raw video from the Logitech c930e webcam. On Linux, the supposed command involves v4l2, but this does not appear to exist in the default Windows version of ffmpeg from

I found this interesting article on Logitech's website instructing the user to change the default Logitech driver to the generic USB Video Device driver: _us/article/Install-native-UVC-drivers-for-your-Logitech-webcam?product=a0qi00000069v0MAAQ#

Thanks, I could resolve my problem following the link _us/article/Install-native-UVC-drivers-for-your-Logitech-webcam?product=a0qi00000069v0MAAQ# you provided from Logitech. In my case (I have A C920 webcam, NOT C930e), in a Windows 7 PC it worked ok with Logitech drivers, but failed in a Windows 8.1 computer.

Executing ffmpeg -f dshow -list_options true -i video="Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920" did NOT show any h264 stream. After changing the driver, the camera name lost the Logitech in its name (just "HD Pro Webcam C920"), but now detected the h264 stream and ffmpeg could record it.

While apps on the Mac do recognise and use the webcam, the reason I purchased it was to get better control of the lighting, zoom, colour balance functions etc. This is not possible without an additional app.

Thanks for your reply Wayne. Unfortunately the v2.5.12 you refer to is for Windows only, there is no Mac version which is the issue I am raising. When you click on the OS button it just offers different versions of Windows.

@timstringer I just purchased a logitech camera and have struggled to get it to work with my Mac, Catalina 10.15.2, especially through the logitech website. Is Webcam Settings maybe the easiest app to just get started recording (thats my only goal right now)? I have also seen a lot of people mention it but was concerned as all the mentions were 3+ years ago. Its also a paid app, correct?

Maybe I am missing something. I have the Logitech Camera Setting app, but I do not see a way to actually record anything. It just simply shows me the camera view and how each adjustment changes the picture quality.

Since starting this thread I have been using the Logitech Camera Setting app and it seems to do everything I need. The point I mention above re using with ScreenFlow still exists - SF seems to override some of the settings.

Logitech webcams have been a popular choice for external webcam solutions on Windows PCs. Not only are the newer models popular, but even the older Logitech c270 webcam and Logitech C920 webcam models are still in use. Particularly with older models, there can be issues with newer Windows versions. Logitech webcam drivers for older models and newer Windows versions are not available.

If you are certain your webcam is still in good working order, it is still worth having a look at the setup. Most webcams are connected to a PC using a USB connection. And for the older Logitech webcam models, like the c270 and c920, this is a USB 2.0 connection.

To have the best chance of a working webcam on a Windows PC, make sure to connect the webcam to a USB 2.0 port. Although USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 ports should be compatible, the best guarantee to a working webcam is to use the USB 2.0 port for older webcams.

A second thing to avoid is using a USB hub to connect the webcam to your PC. Although it may work in some cases, if you are having problems, plug the webcam into a USB port that is directly connected to your PC (motherboard). If you do need to use a USB hub, use a USB hub with external power to increase the chance of success.

Similarly, avoid using USB cable extensions. If the webcam cable is too short for your requirement, it is easy to get a USB extension cable to get the required length. This might have worked in the past, but with all electronics using low-power components, the cable length may pose a problem for an error-free connection.

When we are talking about software for webcams there are really only three things: the driver, the recording/viewing software, and the Windows setting. Both can play a role in solving problems with webcams.

Depending on the Windows version, separate drivers for a Logitech webcam may not be required. The latest Windows versions, like Windows 10 and Windows 11, have compatible drivers installed. Most webcams will be plug-and-play.

If the driver is present on your system, and the webcam is still not working, it can help to reinstall the device. For this, we uninstall the device from the Device Manager and then use the Scan for hardware changes in the Action menu to reinstall it. A restart of the PC will also let Windows reinstall the device and the driver.

Most newer Logitech webcams use the standard USB Video Class (UVC) driver. During installation of the device, a copy of the standard driver is made for the webcam to function. To solve problems with the webcam, it can help to uninstall the device and the UVC webcam driver and have Windows reinstall it.
