I purchased a C270 (in early February) that I use with my Mac. However in Zoom and other software it identifies as USB-camera #3 and the microphone identifies as Unknown USB Audio Device. When I plugged it into a Windows 10-laptop it was immediately identified as HD C270. I tried searching on the Logitech website for a new driver or anything but there isn't anything like that.
I find it a little annoying, especially since I also have a cheap USB microphone that identifies as USB MICROPHONE
, I find it annoying that I can not see the proper labels in selection dialogs.
This is how the device shows up in system_profiler SPUSBDataType
:

Is there any way I can add my own labels to this device?

Many Logitech webcams have only the bare minimum support on Mac. From their descriptions…
The only way I've ever been able to leverage any better behaviour from mine was to get WebCam Settings available from the App Store at $8. There's no free trial, so you'd have to take a punt, but the C270 is listed as supported.
From comments - apparently Logitech do now make software for Mac support.
The C270 can use the Camera Settings app.
My older C920 has a beta Logitech Capture
You are probably best going through from the front page for your own camera if it's not one of these, to see what's specifically on offer.
