PV camera as Imaging Device in Device Manager

Hello All!

Has anyone successfully registered the HoloLens PV (Photo/Video) Camera as a Imaging Device in Device Manager on a connect computer? I'd like to default an app to use the HoloLens camera instead of the connected computer's Integrated Webcam.

Ive attached a screenshot of Device Manager where i'd like to see the HoloLens PV Camera.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Kind Regards,
Will

    To be clear I am aware that you cannot use the PC webcam in the Emulator.
    I am trying to do this from the HoloLens Development Edition.

    Use the Hololens Remoting Sample to acheive your desired result. If you want to use the HL PV Camera in an application on the desktop this sample shows you in essence how to do such a thing, but only connected via wifi, not usb.

    Sorry Joshua,

    Thanks,
