HOW TO INSTALL A WEBCAM – QUICK AND EASY!

Before you can use your webcam, you need to install the drivers on your computer. Depending on the webcam, it may have come with a disk containing the drivers or instructions on how to find the drivers online. If your computer does not have a disk drive, skip to the "No Disk" section of this manual.

Unless otherwise instructed, insert the disk that came with your webcam before connecting it. Windows will recognize that you are trying to install software and launch a wizard that will guide you through the process.

If the wizard doesn't start automatically, go to the Windows taskbar and select File Explorer (on Windows 10) or My Computer (on older versions of Windows). Or type This PC in the search box. Then click on the disk drive (usually E:) to install the files to the disk.
