    Hi Suraj

    If the camera supports zoom functions, you can it via the Windows Camera app too.

    If you have a touchpad or a touchscreen, just pinch in/out.

    If you have a mouse, hold down the Ctrl key and scroll the mouse wheel.

    Hi Suraj. I'm Greg, a Volunteer Moderator and 10 years Windows MVP here to help you.

    It needs to be a webcam with a zoom feature like YouCam, or some apps like WIndows Live Messenger have it built into their software. Otherwise a cheap webcam almost never can do this.

    I wish I had better news. Are you not able to use the webcam because of the way it's zoomed?

    If you need help getting it working with WIndows 10 Camera app see here:

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask any questions. Based on the results you post back I may have other suggestions if necessary.
