what webcam for remote desktop?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone out there knew a webcam that connects via USB and can be used via the remote desktop connection? I have one, but it does not appear as a usable device. Thank you! :-)

Hey SpydeyNinja,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

1. you can use Microsoft VX-3000 webcam.

2. However, you can use any webcam of your choice that is compatible with Windows Vista.

3 take a look at the link that talks about the compatibility below Center. Access the below and go

http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/default.aspx?type=hardware

Note:
When you use the Webcam with remote desktop, make sure that you enable remote desktop on both computers.
You can use devices and resources located on or part of my computer like my printer, hard disk or Clipboard, while I'm connected to a remote computer. Check the settings of the device.

4. in order to access the webcam on the remote computer user might have to use a third-party software.

  • Can we share a link between the Group of users for a direct connection for remote desktop connection?

    Hello community,

    I am running the scripts on one of our internal server - Windows Server 2008 R2, which I connect remotely by the connection service Office. My thought is, I want to share a link to users that are running on the machine local windows 7, which leads directly to this folder on the remote server where the script results are stored.

    Ofcourse Remote Desktop connection is the name of the computer, the user name and password. Therefore, the link I want to share to open this dialog box asking for details and take the user directly in the folder.

    I know that sounds like what we are doing to map a network drive. But just hoping if it means something.

    Looking for answers.

    but now I removed the password until I have find a way to connect without having this problem
    can you help me with this?
    I read things on empty passwords and security policy and other things, it's about connecting a computer without password
    can you help me with this?
    I need the boring explanation if you can
    Thank you

    Hello

    You can do this, but I do NOT recommend it because in this case if someone has your IP address then could access your windows by using remote desktop. And people could use find find IP of random generator and when there is NO password can access. so please use password and the password to connect.

    However, you can configure the setting to connect with empty password:

    1) go to control panel

    2 Administrative Tools)

    look 3) to the local security policy

    (4) open and look for security options

    (5) then in account you will see something like "limit local account use of the empty password for console logon only

    (6) try to disable it and reboot your PC

    It should work, but as I said, it could put your PC in DANGER.

    By design remote desktop requires a password to connect safety precaution. The Remote Desktop user ID and password are the on the computer you want to access and control remote. The user ID must be an administrator or be a member of the remote desktop users group.

    If you need create a password for the user ID you want to connect with the help of office remotely.

    Computer on which is the host of remote desktop, IE. the computer you want to access remote/control? It is not clear from your description, although I assume it is the office.

  • CP1518: Installing drivers without this printer for remote desktop use. How?

    Problem: I'm trying to install the printer drivers for a HP Color Laserjet CP1518 printer on a Windows XP machine without having the printer connected physically, but by using the driver installation program there is no option for this.

    Why:  My CP1518 is here with me in one city, but there is another system of Windows XP in another town I frequently using Office Access distance.  Remote Desktop allows you to print documents on the remote computer and have them redirected to go out on your local printer.  Before this is possible, you must install the printer driver on the remote computer (where he is NOT stuck).  This has always worked great for me with the 6Ps Laserjet and Laserjet 2300 s, and I seem to remember a downloadable "Advanced" installation any which allowed you to simply install the drivers (for example, for COMPUTER technicians who handle settles on a large number of machines on a local network).

    Deadlock: The CP1518 driver install program insists that the printer be detected during the installation process, or you leave.  Is there a way around this approach to "hold your hand" to get the files installed on this machine?  Is there an alternative, stripped, installation driver available?  Any other ideas?

    Advocacy: Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Jason

    Hi Jasonmckay12,

    Many printers have not a "profession or HE use only driver." Those who do not yet have the functionality you're looking for, but you will need the complete software functionality. This will include the Toolbox to install the driver without the printer at hand.

    This is the software you need, and it is compatible with XP and Vista.

  • Folder redirection for remote desktop Services

  • Why Windows 7 won't remember my Desktop Slideshow setting after using Remote Desktop for it?

    Probably need Windows 7 Professional or better to do, I don't remember what editions have Remote Desktop.
    I really love using the Windows 7 with desktop slideshow feature. I have a very large amount of funds in a folder of wallpapers which I configured my 'theme' customization which is supposed to spend on a daily basis.
    Usually, the scenery change as they are supposed to, but very quickly, I noticed that once school started, the same background blocked for awhile. After resetting the setting time and time again, I noticed that the background changes is no longer after that I used another machine remotely in this machine.
    While I understand why turn off desktop slideshow arrives for remote desktop, why didn't he re - turn on desktop slideshow after disconnecting the remote session?
    Steps to reproduce:
    Computer 1: Turn on Desktop Slideshow in customization (Customize, wallpaper, choose a background screen, use fill as a position of the image, change image daily 1, mixed). Save the changes. Save this theme with any name, for example 'the mine'.
    Computer 1: right-click on the desktop: notice that she has 'Next wallpaper' from the context menu.
    2 (Windows XP) computer: Remote Desktop connection to connect to computer 1.
    Computer 2: Close the Office connection remotely using the [X] button on the title bar of masking (disconnection without disconnection).
    Computer 1: Connect on your computer.
    Computer 1: right-click on the desktop: note that the "next wallpaper" is MISSING from the context menu.
    Computer 1: If you go to the customization, the current theme will be unsaved theme that uses the last wallpaper, but don't use a Desktop Slideshow.
    This should not happen. He should go immediately to my previous theme, or even if I do not save the theme, it must return to the original values that was there before the use of remote desktop.
    Does anyone else know this? Is there a solution? Or am I doomed to have constantly changing my theme daily until Microsoft fixes this (If they decide to)?
    I use Windows 7 Professional build 7600 x 64 (MSDNAA image).

  • Free remote desktop to control windows 7 PC with my android phone?

    Hey I was wondering if there is a free program for Remote Desktop for my windows 7 PC, so I can access my computer to my android phone? I can't control my computer, just access it from another server. For example, if I'm on the app on my phone, I want to be able to use my computer at the same time, separately. Most applications only act as a remote control to navigate / control you computer and you can watch the mouse move on the screen, which is not what I want. If anyone can help please I could use it. Also if you are confused, let me know and I'll try to rephrase or better to explain it. Please and thanks in advance.

    You then need a server operating system.  http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/RDS-product-home.aspx

    Probably, the company uses a combination of roaming profiles or RDS so that you connect in a Virtual Machine.
