I’m trying to change webcam’s name to a custom one.
I know how to change device description (DeviceDesc
) and device name (FriendlyName
) in regedit
so that the device in devmgmt.msc
is displayed the way I want it to.
But some programs, e.g. browsers such as Firefox and Chromium don’t seem to care for those fields, instead they seem to get the name from the “Bus Reported Device Description” field. Which, unfortunately, seems to be absent from the regedit
utility.
Is there a way to override this field?
