How To Remove/Change/Blur Logitech Capture Webcam Background

Let me guess: you are a video content creator with a Logitech webcam and an exciting idea for your next project. The only problem is that you need to change your webcam background to bring your idea to life. And now, you are realizing that that is easier said than done.

You already own a powerful camera, so you are halfway where you want to be. As for the other half, don't fret. This article will show you everything you need to know about Logitech Capture software and Logitech's webcam background removal function.

So, let's jump right in.

What Is Logitech Capture and How It Works

Logitech Capture is webcam software that allows you to preset your videos before you hit the Record button. In addition to basic settings that help you achieve perfect visuals, Logitech Capture also offers "studio-style controls" that content creators can use to find their unique style.

For example, Logitech Capture lets you craft a text overlay, add transitions, and apply filters. You can also customize the resolution and record from two sources simultaneously. As you already suspect, you can also use Logitech Capture to remove the webcam background.

Can you use Logitech Capture with all Logitech cameras? Unfortunately, no.

According to the official website, Logitech's webcam recorder is only compatible with certain camera models and specific operating systems. Capture is an excellent choice if you want to record in 1080p and high FPS, but it requires a powerful processor and GPU, as well as 8 GB RAM.

You can find all Logitech Capture specs and requirements in the table below:

How To Remove Background With Logitech Capture

To remove your webcam background, use the Logitech webcam green screen feature Chroma Key. Here's how to get started with Logitech Capture and Chroma Key:

1. First, download Logitech Capture from Logitech's official webpage and install it on your computer. Make sure your camera and OS are compatible with the software.

   

2. Connect your Logitech webcam using the recommended ports and launch the app.
3. It's time to add your camera to Logitech Capture as Source 1. If you have two compatible webcams, you can connect both and add them as Source 1 and Source 2.

   

4. In the Source 1 tab, scroll down to find Chroma Key. Turn it on and choose a suitable color for your background - the available choices are green and blue.

How To Change Background With Logitech Capture

Removing the webcam background with Logitech Capture was easy enough, but now what? If you are capturing from two sources simultaneously, you can stack them one over the other and create a backdrop for a webcam overlay, perfect for tutorials, reaction videos, and screencasts.

But what if you want to record only your webcam and hide your messy background?

In this case, you need an additional tool called XSplit VCam because there are no Logitech Capture virtual backgrounds you can use instead of your real one. XSplit VCam is a background removal tool and Logitech's official partner, recommended by Logitech for this specific purpose.

Here's how to use XSplit VCam with Logitech Capture to change the background:

1. Instead of your camera, select XSplit VCam as Source 1 in Logitech Capture.

   

2. Open XSplit VCam and choose Logitech Capture as the camera.

   

3. The panel on the right offers multiple background options. To change your background, select an image from the gallery.

   

4. Click on the Pen icon at the top right corner of the image tile to access Edit Background options. Here, you can zoom, move, flip, or adjust the color settings of your new background.

   

5. If you don't like the available options, click on Add New Background. This option allows you to import an image, video, or HTML from your device, search for free photos online, or add a YouTube video or webpage as the background.

   

How To Blur Background With Logitech Capture

Are you still looking for the Logitech webcam blur background feature in Logitech Capture? Stop. You won't be able to find this functionality because Logitech Capture surprisingly doesn't offer any other background tool except for Chroma Key. Once again, you need XSplit VCam.

Follow these steps if you want Logitech Capture to blur your background:

1. Connect Logitech Capture and XSplit VCam, as shown in the previous section.
2. The Background Blur option is in the panel on the right. If you don't want to blur your background completely, you can adjust the intensity to your taste.
