    Using Two Logitech c920s at the same time

    I am experiencing an issue with the Logitech C920. I would like to use two of them at the same time with Vidblaster but the Logitech Controls (color settings) only works on one camera. Is there a fix or workaround for this problem?

    I've had the c920 and the c615 running at the same time and could independently change their settings. However, I was using Wirecast and was going into the device settings option in WC, selecting the camera and launching the control software that way.

    I'm not sure if there is a way to manually launch the software for each camera otherwise. Microsoft cameras run two copies of the software for the two MS cameras that I use. It's still a game of chance, however, as to which one you're selecting when you click on the icon in the tray for the MS control software.

    I know that doesn't answer your question - just providing my own experience.

    I don't have a solution for the Vidblaster Logitech problem either, hence I only use Microsoft Lifecams (at the time I couldn't get both cameras to show up together)... Now they will, but having the same problem with selecting the camera settings...

    As to the Lifecam dilemma, I can't set the settings for each camera and have Vidblaster running... so I have to just hope for the best. Have you been able to control the MS settings with Vidblaster running?

    Brad - if you're asking me, I don't use VidBlaster. I can, however, change the settings of the MS cameras with Wirecast running.

    I do not think its possible to use both cameras at the same time. I saw this same thing posted on another site

    Is that a limitation of Vidblaster?

    Donovan I dont think you are 100% correct. You can use Two logitech c920s or c910s at the same time. the issue is a limitation of the logitech drivers. You can not control the Color settings if both cameras are on.

    I just tried to use a c910 and c920 at the same time and had some issues. When you try to use the "color" controls it wont switch properly. It only switchs when you disconnect the other camera.

    I was able to make it work with a 920 and a 615, but they may use two different drivers.

    Same here. C910 and c920 have worked for me. The issue is controlling two of the same kind.
