About Windows Camera
Windows Camera is the official camera application for Windows, giving you seamless control over any camera connected to your PC or your built-in webcam. Capture photos, record videos, and digitize documents with a single app designed specifically for Windows users who want straightforward camera functionality without unnecessary complexity.
View and test any connected camera directly on your screen. Whether you're using an external USB camera or your laptop's integrated webcam, Windows Camera makes it easy to verify that your hardware is working properly. This is especially valuable if you're troubleshooting device connectivity or setting up new equipment.
Record videos with crystal-clear audio using flexible pause-and-resume controls. Stop recording mid-session, take a break, then continue capturing—the app automatically merges all segments into a single seamless file, eliminating the need for external editing software. Activate HDR mode to balance exposure across bright and dark areas, ensuring professional-looking results even in challenging lighting conditions. Perfect for recording lectures, tutorials, presentations, or any content you need to share without relying on your smartphone.
Taking photos is equally effortless. Click the capture button or set a timer for hands-free shooting—choose delays of 2, 3, 5, or 10 seconds to frame yourself perfectly. For document work, use the camera's document digitization feature (if supported) to quickly scan papers and forms directly from your PC.
Video stabilization keeps footage smooth and steady when working from an unstable surface or moving around your workspace. OneDrive integration lets you automatically sync your photos and videos to cloud storage, ensuring your media is backed up and accessible from any device. Never worry about losing important captures again.
Windows Camera delivers everything you need for basic to intermediate camera work on your PC—straightforward, reliable, and built to integrate seamlessly with Windows and your Microsoft ecosystem. Download Windows Camera today and start capturing.
