Mac Webcam Settings Software From Mactaris Apple software developer Mactaris has delivered an excellent suite of OSX programs for controlling both Apple iSight cameras as well as dozens and dozens of 3rd-party MacOS compatible webcams that support the UVC USB Video Class device specification.

Plug it in. Provided you are using Mac OS X version later than 10.4.8, no other setup is required.

OS X versions later than 10.4.8 provides all the software your C920 needs for operation with Apple camera apps including those shown in OS X Mavericks: Use your Mac computer’s built-in camera.

Unless you are using your camera with Windows® OS, I suggest that you not install any Logitech software. The software that Logitech includes with the camera may offer additional features over Mac OS X alone, but some Mac OS X users find that the Logitech software conflicts with some of their system elements or other installed third-party software.

Logitech SetPoint™ software lets you customize your mouse buttons, keyboard F-keys, and hot keys. Use SetPoint to control tracking speeds and configure other device-specific settings. It can also notify you of our device’s battery status, and whether Caps Lock and Num Lock are on.

When to install SetPoint

Logitech Webcam Settings Software

• To assign a variety of functions to your mouse buttons or keyboard F-keys and hot keys.
• If your mouse has more than 5 buttons.
  Windows has built-in support for five-button mice, but if your mouse has more than five buttons then you’ll need to install SetPoint to support the extra buttons.*
  * If your mouse is a Logitech G-Series gaming mouse, then you will need to install Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) instead of SetPoint.
• If your mouse has a tilt wheel and you want to use it to scroll left and right in traditional Windows desktop applications like Microsoft Excel.
• To assign shortcuts for common Windows* 8 functions to your keyboard’s F-keys.

When you don’t need SetPoint

SetPoint is not required for the following mouse functions that are built into Windows® 8:

• Left click
• Right click
• Middle click*
• Back/forward buttons for navigating Web pages
• Scrolling**

* If you want to assign other functions to your mouse buttons, then you can use SetPoint to change their functionality.
** Additionally, if your mouse has a tilt wheel, it will work in most Windows 8 style applications, but you will need SetPoint if you want to scroll horizontally in traditional Windows desktop applications.
