It's plugged in and works when I open the camera's software

But it won't work with any other software, and when I go to my Device Manager it's not listed under my Imaging Devices

It's a USB 3.0 video camera and I'm using Windows 10

Any ideas how to get the computer to recognize it as a camera?

It could be the way the driver is enumerating the camera to Device Manager, but without even knowing what make/model of camera you're using, it's all a crapshoot.

It's a Point Grey Chameleon, connected to my laptop through a USB 3.0 cable

If the proprietary software can see it, it installed a driver somewhere. Maybe in System Devices?  I've been wanting a way to search Device Manager in the GUI for 15 years now, but it hasn't happened, so you may have to manually search every node.

What other software are you trying to use that doesn't see the camera?

And do you have to set that sw to use that particular camera?
