How can i adjust my Camera Settings like Zoom etc.?

Hey guys, first time in this forum. So recently a friend of mine moved away from our neighbourhood and we were forced to continue playing DSA (Das Schwarze Auge/The Black Eye) P&P on Roll20 and Discord. Which is not a bad thing honestly, since it has many advantages. But I dislike rolling dice on the internet, so I bought a webcam, a dice arena and tried to setup a "dicecam". Now here is my problem though. If I open the camera on "Microsoft Camera" or on OBS, I can zoom in and out and do a bunch of settings. But when I then try to connect the webcam to Roll20, it doesnt show anything because I use it already on another programm?! The other way around is the same thing, if I connect to Roll20 first, it works fine, but if I then try to show the video output in OBS its just pitch black and I cant do anything to the settings. So on Roll20 the webcam has a general setting, right. Which is normally a bit zoomed out because it is mend to film faces of people. So if I film my dice, they are either too small to read the numbers correctly, or I have to put the webcam so close to the surface that I can't roll the dice anymore, because there is no space for it. But I can't find any way to adjust the zoom level of my webcam in my browser (I'm using firefox). Is there any way to fix this problem? Thank you in advance if you read this and sorry for my english, I'm from germany. Greetings, Raigenki

Hey Raigenki, what camera do you use? I can adjust my camera via the camera software. Those settings affect also the camera window on R20.
Hey Kai, thanks for the reply :) I use a Papalook HD Webcam . I will try your advice and download this software maybe it will work. I sadly can't test the camera solo in a session, can I?

Well, I opened a new game and I suddenly could see the webcam even I was alone in the session. Weird. But I figuered it out. Great help, thank you guys :)
