When I go to windows explorer, my computer, click on webcam, I get this
error message:
Creation of the video preview failed. Please check the device connection and
make sure that the device is not being used by another application or user.

Do you know how to fix this?

Ask the manufacturer.

Yep. Sounds like the camera's being controlled by OEM software so Windows
can't access it directly.
