Change YouCam capture resolution
M
Matt Merriman
I have an FHD (1080p) webcam that I am using with the YouCam app. The capture resolution in the YouCam app comes up as 640x480 and isn't able to be changed, despite me having a 1080p webcam. Does anyone know how to fix this? TIA!

This seems to be an on-again, off-again problem. Check to see if your camera came with any utilities that can set its operation. My camera, a Logitech Brio, does have such a utility. You can't run it at the same time as YouCam; only one of them can own the camera at any given time. Where the Brio software puts its settings, I don't know; but they seem to be at a lower level than YouCam. In other words, the Brio software creates settings that YouCam then perceives as part of the camera itself.
As for me, I sometimes have to reboot my machine to see all of the resolutions YouCam supports. I'm not sure why.

What version of Youcam are you using? I am running version 10 and can select 720p capture resolution.
