The webcam doesn't require any specific app for control. It can be easily connected to any video software such as Zoom, Skype, and Microsoft Teams.

Additionally, the "Angetube" video software is available as an added benefit, allowing you to conveniently adjust various parameters like autofocus, brightness, horizontal flip, zoom, and more.

To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to avoid using low-quality USB extension cables or hubs that are not independently powered. Insufficient power supply and data loss may occur as a result. For desktop computers, it is advisable to connect the camera directly to the USB port located at the back of the computer. This will help maintain a stable connection and prevent any potential issues.

To flip the image on your webcam, you can use software like OBS Studio, VideoMirror for Google Meet, or FineCam. OBS Studio allows you to flip the video feed vertically or horizontally, ideal for Windows users. Google Meet users can install the VideoMirror Chrome extension to flip the webcam image horizontally. FineCam offers mirroring, flipping, or rotating options for webcam images and is compatible with most video applications. These tools help adjust webcam orientation, especially on platforms without direct mirroring or flipping support.

To improve your webcam's video quality, adjust the camera's brightness and contrast settings, and ensure your screen resolution matches the webcam's output. Optimize lighting in your room, using natural or focused light sources. Maintain a clear, distraction-free background. Consider using third-party software like OBS Studio or Wirecast for advanced customization. Regularly check for driver updates and ensure your webcam is properly set as the default device in your computer settings.
