Will we get control over webcam settings within TEAMS?
This is a major omission. It really, really annoys me that there is no camera control in Teams. Not only that, but when you do open a control app such as Logitech Hub or Logitech Capture to configure it, Teams then resets it all again!
Zoom has much more control within the app, and things it doesn't control it doesn't reset them. Also Zoom has a really excellent chroma key setting to make your meetings look really professional. The Teams background is just rubbish by comparison with your head disappearing half the time.
One workaround is to use Skype for Business to adjust the settings before you start Teams and it somehow remembers them for the rest of the day. Most companies uninstall SfB though once they switched to Teams.
Another workaround would be to install the $1 app called "Webcam System Settings" which does the same thing and you can use it while Teams is running to adjust the settings.
But really, come on MS Teams devs - step up to at least look like you give a **bleep** about customer experience!
ChrisMHowarth cawauk ralphssg SimonNeilScott It is fixed!
Today i got fed up again and decided to check if i could stop teams from resetting my Logitech G Hub settings. When going into settings > devices > camera, there is now a checkbox that (de)activates "Automatically adjust camera controls".
After unchecking that box, teams no longer resets my cam settings. Feels like a huge victory 🙂
Teams version i use: Microsoft Teams Version 1.4.00.29469 (64-bit)

FiBERNL Logitech G Hub, you say? So that's the software from the Logitech G line? I don't have that one. Probably won't work with the Logitech C310 Webcam. As for this device, Logitech only offers support/software with their simple driver/control package, which doesn't help much within Teams. Last updated a year ago (which is questionable for a webcam they're still selling). https://support.logi.com/hc/nl/articles/360024702514--Downloads-HD-Webcam-C310
No fix for me, I conclude. Logitech and Microsoft haven't done much to address this.
