Hello. I've got two Logitech webcams, a 910 and 920 I believe that I cannot get to show up at all. Running "lsusb" doesn't even show the camera. Does it need a powered hub? Anyway, besides that is anyone running a Logitech cam with FluiddPi? If so, do you have any links or info to help me along?
Windows Hello supports PIN, fingerprint readers, and webcams for providing strong (two-factor) authentication for Windows and selected apps. Once you have a supported device, setting it up is almost too easy: simply use + I to open Windows 10 Settings, and select Accounts > Sign-in options and there you have it.
According to , one should consult the supported devices list in , the main vehicle for webcam customization in Ubuntu. The model I have mentioned in this question isn't (currently) there, but many other Logitech models are.
My webcam ends up in a weird audio loop which is broadcast to everyone. Even if I log out of Teams or Zoom it continues. It didnt happen before I upgraded to Monterey. rebooting the Mac fixes it. Also unplugging the USB-C and reconnecting it fixes it. Any ideas, its very annoying to users on the other end?
Last week I finally purchased a webcam for online meetings, something I had been holding off on for quite some time. I was using a 12" MacBook for these up until now, but I wanted to get a webcam for my main computer as I sometimes need to look over or go through a project while in a meeting, and that's easier to do on my main macine. For a quick family call this certainly makes it easier, too.
Since webcams are not necessarily cheap, I had a hard time convincing myself to get it. This is actually the primary reason it took me so long to purchase one in the first place. But, I have to find a solution for this sooner or later, so let's just get it over with now, I thought.
The Logitech StreamCam is, as the name implies, targeted somewhat more towards the YouTube and Twitch gamers. For what reason I am not entirely sure, as it does not necessarily seem like a great choice for that market. It actually looks like a better all-round choice, or perhaps just for anyone who prefers to have a slightly sharper and higher framerate capture (bandwidth permiting, of course) and spends some time in front of a webcam throughout the year, whatever their purpose may be.
Fortunately Logitech webcam support is pretty good under Linux, with video4linux (or v4l2) providing support. What follows is a quick step-by-step guide on how to get the StreamCam to work at full 1080p, 60fps quality, although you can use this same guide for other Logitech cameras too, as the steps should be identical.
To see if your computer recognizes the webcam you can use the v4l2-ctl tool, which is provided by the v4l-utils package. It is not necessary to install this package, you only need it if you want to use some of the helper tools it provides.
I skipped over the audio settings, mostly because this webcam's audio quality is nothing to write home about. It'll be fine for a quick meeting, I'm sure, but you'll pretty much sound like you're on the other end of a landline. If you plan on recording videos or just want to have better audio because you care about that sort of thing, I recommend using a stand-alone microphone. I have a Zoom H1n, which can also be used as a USB microphone, so that's what I've been using, but basically any recommended USB microphone will do a better job than a webcam might.
If you have run into this issue, know that this is not an issue with the StreamCam. I've unfortunately so far not found any way to fix this, other than to use a different tool. The webcam tool called "Cheese" would be a nice alternative if it wasn't for its very poor picture quality defaults that seemingly can't be changed. I've been using OBS to record videos, which feels like overkill, but at least it works.
I can connect with the webcam using "rosrun usb_cam usb_cam_node" but when I want to see the visualizer using "rosrun image_view image_view image:=/usb_cam/image_raw", I only see a green image from the webcam. Also, I tried to visualizing the webcam images with rqt_image_view and I can see the same.
We've found out that Logitech webcams connected to the endpoint lead to this problem. Disconnect the webcam and the issue is gone. Furthermore I've found out that this issue starts with vda 2103 and persists with all following versions. With VDA 2012 Logitech webcams are working.
"HDX webcam compression no longer requires the VDA to encode, transcode, and decode H.264 video resources. By default, the server streams video directly to the video conferencing applications running in the virtual session."
This reg key is useless. Users with Logitech webcams still have the issue of dis- and reconnects while launching applications. I've set this key by gpo preferences because I don't know if a restart of the vda (and thus a image update) is required.
Hi Elliott. I unplugged the webcam from the USB 3.1 port at the back of my PC (which goes straight in to the motherboard). I have a second USB 3.1 port on a front-mounted panel on the PC - I plugged the webcam into that, and it worked!
Then if that works, go from there on toning down the constraints to get other non-UHD webcams to work. Make sure you read up on the constraints and what is possible here, and always include the WebRTC adapter.js even in the latest version of electron it is still needed (mainly for converstion of error names to the proper "standard" ones).
One of my customer has the following issue: the prezi video app does not want to launch when his External logitec webcam C930e is pluged in his laptop. He has the same issue with Google meet too. I made a quick repair of Prezi Video app , no luck.
Hi I'm just setup my webcam Logitech C922 for my MK3S with 1280x720 30 fps. It is working realy well but the lightning in the room is 50hz and the camera shows 60hz with flickering. Is there a start command that changes the 60hz to 50hz anywhere?
THE Logitech C920 webcam may not work on your PC because of outworn, missing, or faulty drivers. Therefore, update drivers to resolve the issues. You can update the Logitech C920 drivers both manually and automatically.

I very recently bought the above webcam and installed it and its operating software to my system. I seems to work fine except that it generates a debug file called LWSDebugOut.txt. I only discovered that file by accident and found it to be huge. It seems that the webcam software writes into the file every time the webcam is launched but it just appends the information into the file every time the webcam software is launched. It always seems to record the same errors. The errors it is warning about are as follows:
Thanks very much for the response Tripredacus. I looked in Device Manager as you said and couldn't find anything that looked remotely connected to this issue. Now, with some thought, I've decided to abandon trying to fix that problem. I have come across several accounts on the internet that describe the same errors being reported in the debug text but no one actually had a clue as to how to fix it. Also, when the webcam is connect to the system I works just fine so I'm not going to bang my head on that any further, I thought it might be easy to fix -- but thanks again for the response. However, I came across a more pressing issue -- the constantly growing LWSDebugOut.txt file -- that did need a solution and I managed to work out how to deal with that which I will detail below.
If in the LWS GUI window you untick (i.e disable) the setting Preferences > Logitech Webcam Software Settings > General (tab) > Auto-launch webcam controller then on boot into the system the process CameraHelperShell.exe does not get auto-launched on system bootup and so can't write to the log file. (It is the CameraHelperShell.exe that is writing into the LWSDebugOut.txt file.) This is true if the camera is not plugged in. It is also true if the camera is plugged in.
With the option Preferences > Logitech Webcam Software Settings > General (tab) > Auto-launch webcam controller enabled (i.e. ticked) if you boot into the system and the webcam is plugged into a USB port then the CameraHelperShell.exe will write into the LWSDebugOut.txt file once then will stop doing so unless an issue develops with the webcam. However, if you unplug the webcam (and CameraHelperShell.exe is still a running process) then CameraHelperShell.exe will see that as an issue and start appending data into the LWSDebugOut.txt file. If this option is left ticked (i.e. enabled) then if you boot into the system and the webcam is not plugged into a USB port then the CameraHelperShell.exe will start writing appended data into the LWSDebugOut.txt, and that text file will just grow and grow.
So the best general advice is to untick the option Preferences > Logitech Webcam Software Settings > General (tab) > Auto-launch webcam controller and that way you won't run into problems if you have the webcam unplugged during bootup. However, it should be noted that clearly CameraHelperShell.exe has an issue with an unplugged webcam -- it considers this a fault and starts appending data into the debug text file. And that (glaring bug if you ask me) is where the fun and games start if you are using LWS GUI window, finish using it, and unplug the webcam from the USB port.
So now you have two ways of stopping that LWSDebugOut.txt file from growing and growing if you as an idiotic user ever decide to have the temerity of unplugging your Logitech webcam if you're not using it.
P.P.S. I am using LWS because my computer can't deal with the current software Logitech offers for this webcam Logitech Capture. If I try to use Logitech Capture on my system then it proceeds to try and fry my CPU -- hence I can't use that software. My brief experiments with trying to use Capture just left me thinking that Logitech have produced a good webcam but the controlling software they produce is abysmally poor.
