If you use the software Splitcam and you unplug any other webcam from your computer then WSA will pick up on the Splitcam virtual webcam as the back camera device and thusly the main webcam. It is a janky way to make this work but it does mostly work. An issue past that is how some apps don't fully recognize the whole native resolution of said virtual webcam. Lens or Translate won't work correctly and at a low resolution if at all. A native way to do this would be IDEAL. A way to assign Windows imaging devices to either back or front camera would be ideal.

I haven't tried the latest dev update to WSA yet but the only way I was able to get something like that working was by disabling/disconnecting the actual webcam in Windows. I know that wouldn't work for your situation. Hopefully the 2210.40000.7.0 update smooths things over. I'll report back to this issue once I get around to testing it.

I already try with latest WSA. It keeps same. Even android camera apps show error when I disable the build in camera.
