How to enable/disable webcam by script (Win 10)

I'm using for win 10 on my laptop and sometimes I need ti enable/disable my build in webcam and mic by any script or .exe file. In other words I need to switch this one by script: WebCam Settings I tried to find something in Google, but without success. Tell me where to start?

Solution

You can disable and enable your webcam using PowerShell script.

List all your cameras:
```
Get-PnpDevice -FriendlyName *webcam* 
```

Filter camera by status:

Get-PnpDevice -FriendlyName *webcam*  -Status OK

Disable the camera:

Disable-PnpDevice -InstanceId (Get-PnpDevice -FriendlyName *webcam*  -Status OK).InstanceId

Enable the camera:

Enable-PnpDevice -InstanceId (Get-PnpDevice -FriendlyName *webcam*  -Status Error).InstanceId
