    Hi~

    I have a friend who is running Parallels and this weekend we tried to install a Logitech webcam in the Windows environment. There seems to be an issue getting it to read that the webcam is there and plugged into the Mac's USB port.

    Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Dana

    Hi,

    I would assume that you didn't turn the USB Autoconnect on. While running Parallels with the webcam plugged in, click on the round USB icon on the bottom left of the window. Selecting the webcam will connect it to Parallels and hence Windows.

    I hope it helps.

    What model is your webcam? Mine's a Logitech Quickcam Express but I couldnt get it to work. I managed to connect it, but all I see is a black screen.

    Cheers
