Using PD 365 and trying to captuer from USB webcam. It's a Logitech 1080p with built in mic. Windows recognizes it as a mic on my laptop. PD doesn't give me an option to select it as a webcam, just keeps seeing the builtin webcam.

I saw some old posts about setting it to use video overlay, but the posts were from back in 2009. Did a search to see if that was an option in PD 365, but can't find it.

Any help with getting the external webcam to work with capture greatly appreciated.

Try using the bundled ScreenRecorder 4. It has many more options and controls than PD's Capture room.

Thre are several other discussions on the forum regarding SR4, and this one may be of interest.

Hi,
I have PDR18 365 on my Asus laptop, with PDR19 365 on the desktop. I've just connected an older logitech 120 webcam to the laptop and I am able to select both the internal webcam and the external logitech in the capture module in PDR with no issues.

Device manager also shows the logitech as a full webcam under Imaging devices in Device Manager.

Using CL's U meeting software also accesses the logitech when connected.

I would suspect a driver issue, if Win is only picking up the webcam as an external mic?

Cheers
