On Windows 10, how can I adjust the camera / webcam settings at an OS level level?
Depending on my environment, I need to adjust the brightness of the camera capture and have it being applied in any webcam application (e.g. Skype, Google Hangout, other video conference call tools). Running Windows 10 Professional (v1703) on a Macbook Pro via bootcamp.
For clarity, I can adjust my sound volume and it affects any application that uses the speakers. Similar notion but for the camera.

As I came here from Google looking for solution myself...
You will need FFmpeg unzipped anywhere on your disk. Assuming Windows here, but FFmpeg should have Linux version as well.
bin
directory in CMD shell (viacd "C:/path/to/ffmpeg/bin/"
)ffmpeg -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy -hide_banner
HP Wide Vision HD
, because I have HP laptop)HP Wide Vision HD
with your camera name):ffmpeg -f dshow -show_video_device_dialog true -i video="HP Wide Vision HD"
