Change Camera Icon

I have a Logitech C615 external webcam and a Sony Vaio All in One PC running Windows 10. Recent updates to either Mozilla or Windows 10 make it impossible to display the change camera icon to switch between external webcam and internal camera when Mozilla is the only open web brower. I have to open the MSN Internet Browser to make the icon visible. Pls. fix this.

Is this a Windows icon, or an icon in a specific web page?

If you go to a page where you didn't previously grant camera permission, do you see both choices in the drop-down or only one choice?

The change camera icon only appears on the built in Camera settings and real time view page .. which apparently is the default site. In the device manager, there is only one camera option although I have given every permission available to use the camera. I do not seem to have an updated driver for my C615 although there was one there in the past. When I ask to update the driver for the external camera, there is no available driver. I use a blue port and now it seems that only one of three ports will allow the external camera to operate but I have not investigated that in detail once I found the MSN option workaround.

I'm not familiar with the real time view page.

if you turn on your built in camera, it will open to a page with setting and a pic view of your face.... that is what I am speaking about...

Hmm, I haven't noticed that, but I guess I never turn it off? I just stick a post-it over it when I'm not using it. ;-)

Possibly it's a Sony thing (I have a Lenovo).
