Default setting for Video Input ~ Windows 10 ~ (Webcam)

[TheSmokingHertog]

Hey all,

Since the Vive registers as Webcam, in device manager, several communication apps do select my Vive as default video input choice.

Any idea how to select my webcam as default? The answers listed on Microsoft Answers did not give a solution.

Thx.

@TheSmokingHertog - Unfortunately this can vary from version and build of Windows - it's a Microsoft thing.

This is the mostly accurate, but what you actually see is really version dependent.

Yeah, I found that one.

I do not have a "set as default option". 

Seems I have to switch manually, or disable the Vive on usage of the Cam. 

Thx.
