If visual quality is crucial to why you need a webcam, like if you’re planning to use the webcam for conference room purposes, then consider models with higher resolution. Thankfully, it has a 3MP photo resolution and auto light correction to at least enhance the quality.

Even the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 has to downgrade its 1080p resolution to 720p when video calling.

Resolution & DisplayĪt 720p, the resolution isn’t bad, but far from the best. Its dimensions are 9.85 x 4.94 x 6.45 inches, which is notably larger than another Logitech camera, the Logitech C930E, which is 3.7 x 3.7 x 0.95 inches and weighs 5.6-oz the C270 weighs 6.7-oz. The C270 is notably larger than its Logitech camera brother, the Logitech C930E. More importantly, the lens automatically focuses. Picture quality takes a hit when plastic is chosen over plastic, but an untrained eye won’t see the difference. Rather than use glass, the Logitech HD Webcam C270 uses a plastic one. Saw the entry for Win32WebViewHost in the apps, and after enabling that, suddenly everything is working again.įor others: if you've recently received feature update to Windows 10, version 1803 - then the above fix should help you.Related: If you are shopping on a budget, you may want to read the Aukey FHD webcam review. I was very confused as to why I was able to hear hear the mic working through control panel when I selected 'listen to this device' but Audacity and Skype etc were unable to use the mic. I chanced upon your reply about the apps, which immediately made sense. After much messing about with trying to remove the drivers and re-install etc. Apparently, with the Windows update to v1803 these settings were modified.I got this update pretty late and when my Logitech C310 webcam stopped working I was sure the update had messed with the drivers somehow. I am able to Skype again and the problem is solved. Now Windows allows to approach the Webcam. In settings, go to Privacy, Camera and check: Allow which apps can access your camera.

Thanks for reactions, but it turned out not to be a driver issue, but a settings issue.
