Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

Webcam Not Recognized

Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into a functioning USB 2.0 port. Try a different USB port. Restart your computer. Check your operating system's device manager to see if the webcam is listed and if there are any driver issues. Sometimes unplugging and replugging the device can resolve recognition issues.

Blurry or Pixelated Image

Verify that the lens is clean and free from dust or smudges. The webcam features autofocus; ensure there are no obstructions in front of the lens that might interfere with its operation. While the B525 has autofocus, some users report occasional re-autofocusing. Ensure adequate lighting in your environment for optimal image quality, as the webcam adjusts to low light conditions.

No Audio or Poor Audio Quality

Check your video conferencing application's settings to ensure the Logitech B525's built-in microphone is selected as the input device. Verify your computer's sound settings to ensure the microphone is enabled and not muted. If using external speakers, ensure they are properly connected and configured.
