Microsoft has released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27758 to Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel.

A new advanced camera options page has been introduced, enabling users to configure their camera settings effectively. The available options consist of a multi-app camera, enabling simultaneous access to the camera stream by multiple applications, and a basic camera, which provides fundamental camera functionality to enhance debugging efforts. A third option for selecting a media type will be introduced in a future build, with the default setting configured to "Let Windows Choose". The build incorporates resolutions for various issues related to File Explorer, Taskbar, Input, Desktop, Task Manager, Narrator, Audio, Settings, and additional components. 

Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27758 (Canary Channel)

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27758 to the Canary Channel.

What’s new in Build 27758

Windows Camera Advanced Configurations

We have introduced a new advanced camera options page in this build. Just navigate to a camera under Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Cameras and click the edit button for advanced camera options.

New advanced camera configurations page in Settings.

This new advanced camera options page will provide you with the following two configurations for your camera:

• Multi-app camera: Allows multiple applications to access the camera stream simultaneously, developed with the Hard-of-Hearing community to enable video streaming to both a sign language interpreter and the end audience at the same time.
• Basic camera: Enables basic camera functionality for improved debugging, recommended as a last resort when your camera is not functioning correctly. This feature was developed in collaboration with Microsoft support agents.

Coming in a future build, we plan to introduce a third option here for selecting a media type. This feature will let you choose different media types like resolution and frame rate, with the default setting being “Let Windows Choose” for optimal experience.

FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Devices and Drivers > Device Camera or Webcams.

Fixes

[File Explorer]

• Did some work so the search box in File Explorer shouldn’t draw off the end of the window anymore.

[Taskbar]

• Fixed an issue where right clicking on app icons in the taskbar might crash explorer.exe in the previous flight.

[Input]

• Fixed an issue for some people where the mouse cursor would become invisible when hovering over text fields in certain apps.

[Desktop]

• Fixed an issue where your desktop background might not show correctly sometimes with multiple monitors (showing big black areas).

[Task Manager]

• We are beginning to roll out a fix for the issue where if you resized Task Manager to be larger while settings was open, the  Mica background wouldn’t align with the new window size.

[Narrator]

• Fixed an issue in the previous flight which caused Narrator to crash on launch if you used one of the natural voices (like Jenny).

[Audio]

• Fixed an underlying issue which could lead to USB audio devices going to sleep after 1 minute of idle time, and not waking up until the PC was rebooted.
• Fixed an underlying issue which could lead you to unexpectedly hear a mute or unmute noise in certain headsets.

[Settings]

• Fixed an issue which could cause Settings to crash when selecting your default audio device.
