Hi everyone,

I have a Mouse webcam I use for Windows Hello authentication. It is no good as a general-purpose webcam (the picture quality is bad). If I buy another webcam, will the Mouse cam still work for Windows Hello??

Thanks in advance for any help.

Perhaps, but why bother? Save the Mouse webcam for some other device.

Sorry, I didn't explain very well. I want BOTH webcams to be connected to the same machine.

Cheers

Only one way to find out! ;-)
