I installed the 2nd gen webcam module in my Framework 13 AMD and it has a fairly strong pink hue, especially on skin tones, e.g. my face. I’m using Windows 11. Is there any way to adjust the hue via settings, custom LUT, etc.?

On the old webcam I was able to customize camera settings (including hue) in the OBS settings panel for the webcam! Unsure about this one.  
Windows 11 should have a settings panel for basic camera controls as well, saturation is there iirc? Not to sure, too long since I last used windows!

Yeah I removed that during installation. It’s kinda hard to miss 🙂

Thanks. In the Windows camera settings panel, it improves if I bring the Saturation value down to around 50 (it defaults to 65 ish). Hopefully that comes through on actual calls.

I found the new webcam 2nd gen auto exposure to also be problematic and change during video calls on Windows 11. Using a simple tool on the Microsoft Store called WebcamSettingsTool by DA-Software, I was able to control the settings and disable auto exposure. It might help you fix the color problem as well.
