Description:

Entry added when you install versions of the Logitech QuickCam webcam software and used to configure and tweak your webcam settings. Includes support for the Quick Assistant - which launches when a video application (such as video conferencing in an instant messaging client) accesses to camera so you can quickly fine tune face tracking and zoom, for example. If you don't use the camera on a daily basis create your own shortcut and run it manually when required
