NOTE: Since Logitech doesn’t support webcams on Windows Server 2008 R2, follow these instructions at your own risk! Here are the instructions I used to get my Logitech Webcam Fusion to work on Windows Server 2008 R2. I figured what the heck, let’s go browsing Logitech’s FTP site and see if they have previous versions available. My results all looked a little fishy, most offered by driver websites that want you to create an account with them.

I began searching the Internet for a location to download the 64-bit version of the qc1100 software David mentioned. Unfortunately the software David posted is only for 32-bit operating systems and as you probably already know Windows Server 2008 R2 is a 64-bit operating system. So after adding everything up, I have come to the conclusion that Logitech webcam’s on server operating systems are not support, but that doesn’t mean they don’t work. If you read on in this article, there is mention from a poster named David that he was able to get his Sphere webcam working using an older version of Logitech’s webcam software.
The answer I found was a bit shocking! Logitech doesn’t support webcams on server edition operating systems? Seriously? Here is a link to a post from Logitech’s web forum. I downloaded the Windows 7 64-bit version, because most of the time a Windows 7 64-bit driver will work on Windows 2008 R2, no luck there for me either.Īs the logical next step, I began searching Yahoo and Google for an answer. So, I went to Logitech’s support website looking for a driver for my webcam Fusion on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit and it was nowhere to be found. For me Windows Server 2008 R2 found the device as unknown. One would assume you can just plug in a webcam, the operating system finds it, you might have to supply a driver or software to run it, and you are done. My setup is as follows: Windows Server 2008 R2 for my operating system, a Logitech Fusion webcam, and Skype for video calling. Getting this setup and working was a bit tricky. Recently my family and I have started using Skype to show off our baby boy to other family members throughout cyberspace. LOGITECH WEBCAM ON WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2: IT CAN BE DONE!
