I am using a HP branded dv6 Pavilion Notebook with a USB camera inserted to one of the USB slots. The device has an internal camera which is default and is used in the camera app. There is no apparent way to change camera feed input.

#1: It's not failing to connect; Windows is able to properly detect the device... That's how I learned the device's name since it has nothing on the physical device to state what it is.
#2: No, but it could be a driver that doesn't exactly make my computer know it is a camera. (It does have the camera icon, so it must think it's some sort of optic device). Maybe you could find a better driver... I don't know. All I know is I had to install the driver manually.
#3: No, I have just this one PC. If I borrowed someone else's computer, I'd have to install the driver again (manually). Windows had an update. I will check if the update fixes anything this weekend.
Question: Did you watch the linked video?

Since you mentioned that you haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, we suggest that you do it and make sure that you have the latest drivers.
Let us know the result.

Okay... Just disabled the HP Truevision device in my computer... Going to see what impact this has.
Results:
But disabling my internal microphone in sound settings forced the camera app to use my external microphone... So I thought I could do the same with the camera source. It's strange though that the camera app doesn't use your PC's set default microphone.
Looking at the camera properties (CIF camera):
Tell me if you may need a screenshot of a specific property that is not shown above.
So Windows does think it is a camera as stated in the device properties... unless somehow this camera is incompatible with Windows 10....?

To assist you better, have you checked on the camera app settings itself if you have an option to choose which camera you want to use?
