    Webcam Resolution


    Just got a new webcam that's supposed to be true 1080p. What's the easiest way to verify the resolution? I can't find a setting anywhere.

    Open the Camera App, or similar, take a snap shot, find out what size the snap shot is...

    Thanks for the link, that's what I needed to know.

    I should have said I don't have any camera apps on my PC, just zoom for meetings...

    Are you sure that you don't have the camera app? I've got it but it's disabled.

    Enter in run box:

    microsoft.windows.camera

    See if anything happens.

    Yup, I'm sure. I don't even have the Microsoft store on my machines. I get rid of all that stuff.

    Fair enough. I completely removed Store app some time ago.
