Setting Up the C920 on Windows — Step by Step

Before You Start

• A free USB-A port on your computer (or a powered USB hub — avoid unpowered pass-through hubs, which can cause dropouts).
• Windows 10 or Windows 11 kept reasonably up to date via Windows Update.
• A stable, unobstructed spot to clip or mount the camera.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Position the camera

   Open the spring clip and attach it to the top of your laptop screen or monitor, centered and facing forward. For a desk or shelf position, use the threaded socket on the base with a standard tripod or small stand.

2. Connect the USB cable

   Plug the camera's USB cable directly into a USB port on your computer. Plugging it straight into the machine (rather than through an unpowered hub) gives the most reliable connection.

3. Let Windows detect it automatically

   Within a few seconds you should see a brief notification such as "Setting up a device" followed by a confirmation that it's ready. No manual driver file needs to be downloaded or run for this step.

4. Confirm it's recognized

   Open Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Cameras (or Device Manager > Cameras / Imaging devices on older builds) and check that "HD Pro Webcam C920" is listed without a warning icon.

5. Test the picture and audio

   Open the built-in Windows Camera app, select the C920 if more than one camera is listed, and confirm you see a live picture. Speak normally to confirm the microphone level responds.

6. Select it inside your call or recording application

   In Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, OBS, or similar, open that application's audio/video settings and choose "HD Pro Webcam C920" as the camera and microphone source.

7. Optional: fine-tune with Logitech's companion app

   For adjustments beyond Windows' defaults — such as pan/tilt/zoom cropping, exposure, or RightLight behavior — Logitech offers an optional camera settings companion app on its official site, linked below. This step is optional; the camera functions without it.
