Link WhatsApp to webcam on laptop
I have a laptop using Windows 10. It has a linked webcam. The laptop runs WhatsApp (my phone is Android, if that is material). When I receive or make video call, it links to the laptop camera and not to the webcam. In all other circumstances the webcam is the primary camera. Advice, please, on how to make it default to the webcam.

I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.
Set the camera on WhatsApp settings, so when you receive the call, you don't need to change it.
On WhatsApp, select Settings in the bottom left corner > Video and voice > Set the device under "Video"

Many thanks. It's obvious, really - but it takes an expert to point it out to an idiot.

Thank you so much. It's obvious really - but not to an idiot like me.
