    davidkrol got a reaction from CatsAreGods in Fuji x-S10 and Fujifilm X Webcam   
    I found a workaround to get it to show up as a webcam in Powerpoint. I installed Manycam and it now shows up as a webcam in Powerpoint with the Fujifilm X Webcam software installed, as well. The only issues is that Manycam comes with a watermark for the free version. I will test it and if it works well, I may purchase a license. In any case, Manycam seems to work like a link to other software that doesn't recognise the Fuji as a webcam. It now even works on the camera app in Windows.

    X-T200 - Since there isn't any controls to the camera settings in Webcam mode, I do not use the X-T200 as a webcam. I have continued to use my Sony a6400 for this purpose instead. I do think you're on the right track - if there's nothing that can be done via software or in-camera in Webcam mode, then the next best thing is to change the shooting conditions in your environment - in this case making lighting adjustments.
    The XC15-45 lens does have some surprises. With better lighting, it does seem to "focus hunt" less. In some cases, even better than the XF18-55. Also, the XC15-45 "remembers" the last focal range you used. So if I set it to 30mm and turn it off and the lens retracts, when I turn it back on, it zooms back to 30mm. I do not recall any other zoom lens that does this. At least not the ones I've used.
    If you're using Zoom, there's a video setting in the Zoom client that will allow you to adjust for poor lighting conditions. This may help to brighten your appearance in the video conference to some degree.
    X-S10 - Still no luck with the X-S10 as a webcam even with the most recent firmware upgrade. The only "progress" is from the post by @davidkrol. I think that footnote is recent as I don't recall seeing that previously. It does help make the X-S10 somewhat usable as a webcam but that defeats the purpose of the X Webcam. In a way, it puts in in a similar boat as the X-T200. 
    Clearly, the advantage here is on the Sony a series + Imaging Edge.
    I've still kept the Fuji cameras. But recently, Tamron has released the 17-70mm lens with VC (their version of OIS) and it appears that the stabilization is amazing. I may consider parting with some Fuji gear.
    @0301chris For a mirrorless webcam - did you look into the Sony option further?
    Good luck to all.

    I have the same problem as described here.
    I can connect the camera to the computer and get an imagine in Zoom and Skype. However, Fujifilm's software remains deactivated. As a result of this, it seems, the camera gets very laggy after a few minutes and becomes totally unusable. 
    Please, fix this Fujifilm! Making your cameras usable as webcams should be your #1 priority in 2020!

    Hi all,
    I have the same problem and just found this note on the official Fuji website:
    "* In case your camera shows the following menu :”SET-UP”>”CONNECTION SETTNG” >”CONNECTION MODE”> “X Webcam”, the setting window of X Webcam on your computer cannot be used.
    The settings for INSTANT AF, EXPOSURE COMPENSATION, FILM SIMULATION, and so on need to be set on the camera before connecting the USB cable."
    https://fujifilm-x.com/en-au/support/compatibility/software/x-webcam/
    So that means the X-S10 is actually compatible but the settings need to be made in the camera before connecting the USB cable.
    I hope that helps.
