What is a USB Video Camera Windows Driver?

A USB Video Camera Windows Driver is a software component that allows your Windows operating system to recognize and interact with a USB-connected video camera (often a webcam or USB camera). The driver enables the camera to be used by video chat applications (like Skype, Zoom, or Teams), recording software, and other programs that require video input.

When you plug in a USB video camera to your computer, Windows uses the driver to facilitate communication between the hardware (the camera) and software (video applications). This allows you to use the camera for tasks such as video conferencing, live streaming, or video recording.
