Connect the Camera First
Plug in your USB camera before opening the recording tool so the browser can detect it.
Select Camera Source
Choose your external camera from the Camera Source dropdown in ScreenForge.
Use Workbench Setups
USB cameras are useful for top-down workbench videos, electronics tutorials, craft demonstrations, and maker content.
Troubleshooting
If the camera does not appear, refresh the page, check browser permissions, and confirm the camera works in your operating system.
