Want to get the most out of your camera on Windows 11? This guide will show you how to change some cool camera settings that let multiple apps use your camera at the same time and help fix camera problems if they happen.

What’s New in Windows 11 Camera Settings?

Windows 11 makes it easy to change your camera settings. You can add fun effects like background blur and filters to make your video look better.

You also control which apps can use your camera to keep your privacy safe. If you are the computer owner or have admin rights, you can even turn your camera on or off.

In the newest Windows 11 update (called Build 27758), Microsoft added a new Advanced camera options section in Settings. Here are two important features you can control:

• Multi-app camera: Lets several apps use your camera at the same time. This is helpful if you want to share video with a sign language interpreter and others at once.
• Basic camera: Turns on simple camera features to help fix issues if your camera isn’t working right. This tool was made with help from Microsoft support.
