G HUB is a new software platform from Logitech G that lets you fine-tune control of your hardware, customize lighting, use your hardware with third party apps, and more - all with an easy to use interface that’s built for future products. In this video, I briefly demonstrate how to update your Logitech webcam firmware on Windows 10. The same process applies to whether you are using Windows 10.
One of the common complaints when using Microsoft Teams is that it does not allow you to set zoom level or other camera controls. People also say that it doesn’t remember the settings you have used in a camera control app provided by the manufacturer.
Logitech C920 Software Drivers
If you are using the popular Logitech C920 webcam (and possibly other recent Logitech webcams like the Brio or StreamCam), there is a solution. Mirrors edge free download pc.
Logitech provides an app called Capture that allows you to set zoom and many other settings. You can also use it to capture a photo or video in the app with many advanced features as well. What many don’t realize is that this app also provides a virtual webcam to Teams that uses all of the settings in the app.
Without Capture app
Using Capture app
Here are the steps to enable zoom and other camera controls in the Logitech C920 webcam when you are using it in Microsoft Teams.
- Download and install the Logitech Capture app
- Set the camera zoom and other settings in the Capture app
- Use the Logitech Capture virtual camera in a Teams meeting
Download and install the Logitech Capture app
- Go to Logitech.com/capture
- Download the app
- Install the app
Set the camera zoom and other settings in the Capture app
Open the Capture app and make sure your webcam is selected as Source 1. Then use the app to set zoom level, move the focus of the camera, and more advanced features if you feel a need to. Most of the time all you need to set is the zoom level and location.
Use the Logitech Capture virtual camera in a Teams meeting
Make sure the Capture app is open and running. This is what provides Teams with a virtual webcam that uses the settings. In the Teams meeting Device settings (either before entering the meeting or once in the meeting), select the Logi Capture as the Camera in the list instead of the C920 webcam.
You will want to minimize the Capture app so that you don’t see yourself in two places on the screen.
Now the video you provide to the Teams meeting will use the settings in the Capture app. Make sure you do not close the Capture app or the video in Teams will be interrupted.

Flickering issue fixed FINALLY!! I just watched a YouTuber explain that my Logitech driver should not be used and to use the Microsoft one already installed on my computer.Short answer: Start > Device Manager > Imaging Devices > Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 > (right click) Properties > Driver > Update Driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > USB video device > Reboot!
Long answer: Basically, go to the Start button and type in 'device manager' and choose it. Open the drop down for 'Imaging Devices' and then right click 'Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920' and choose 'Properties'. Go to the 'driver' tab and choose 'update driver' and then 'Browse my computer for driver software' then 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'. Choose 'USB video device' instead of the Logitech driver. Then simply reboot your machine and it'll work. I would like to thank the Youtuber who gifted this knowledge https://youtu.be/5rEBXJKMi4k
