Cannot change the name of the webcam in windows 7
Cannot change the name of the webcam in windows 7
I am stuck on how to change the display name of webcam on widows 7. My host Os is Mac and guest Os is Windows 7. I tried looking online for solution, and changed the "FriendlyName" String from Registry Editor, but it hasn't changed the general name of the device. It still says "VirtualBox Webcam - Facetime Camera". How do I change this?

Actually, why do you need to change the name of webcam? I know, that maybe you can have many webcams, but I think, that it's not important. If you have many webcams with strange names, than try test them all. I'm sure, that there aren't 100 webcams, so maybe IT is not important. So, think as you want, but I think as I want.

Can't you just simply rename the webcam in your settings?
Devices and Printers > right-click > Properties
In the Properties Window you should be able to change the name.
