Windows Camera

PC Camera App

Windows Camera is a built-in

application available on Windows

devices that allows users to take

photos and record videos using

their computer's built-in or connected

camera. It features a simple interface,

making it easy to capture quick

images or video clips.

This guide will walk you through

how to use the Camera app to

record sessions, export your

recordings, and submit the final results.
