1. Open Skype on Windows. Chances are, you’re using Skype Preview if you are running Windows 10, so we’ll use that for the tutorial. If you’re using the full-version of Skype, the steps are basically the same, only you’ll need to click the appropriate tab in the settings menu to play with audio/video settings. MORE: Best Webcams
  2. Open the settings menu by clicking the icon in the left sidebar.
  3. Under the Video setting, click the drop-down menu.
  4. Select any other camera connected. If you don’t see your camera, you’ll need to ensure it’s plugged in both to the computer, and the camera itself via USB. If that doesn’t work, it may require additional drivers. You can typically find those on the manufacturer’s website.
