- The description of this extension doesn't mention the most important thing! When you use an external webcam with a Chromebook, you can't run the helper apps that run on Windows to control brightness,contrast, frame rate, exposure time, color saturation, sharpness -- you are forced to accept the default settings. THIS lets you control all of these. A little wonky, you have to give it webcam permissions, then ALSO enable it to auto-connect to your webcam. But still 5 stars because it's the only extension like this.
