Hello, everyone.
I connected a Logitech camera and it worked just fine with PhotoBooth. I went to the menu bar, and I switched between my built-in and the external Logitech with no problem.
Besides that application, how can I 'switch' between them?? I can't find anything related to the camera in the System Preferences panel...
For example I went to Chatroulette (shame on me!), and I could not get it to work.
Thanks!

Mac's webcam is always controlled by the app that is using it. There is no OS X System Preference... for your webcam(s).
How you choose which camera to use depends on the application being used to control the camera. This link gives some examples for Apple apps:

For Flash based websites (including Chatroulette,) the Flash plugin controls. The Flash plugin's simple controls will allow selection between UVC and IIDC webcams, but not between multiple connected cameras of the same type. The workaround for this is :
 • quit your browser if it is running
 • launch something simple like Photo Booth
 • in that app, select the camera you do NOT want to use in your Flash video site
 • set that app aside (minimize) if desired
 • launch your browser and navigate to the Flash based video web page
 • when you access or enable 'UVC' webcam, Flash connects the camera not already in use

Get the Google Photos app to back up and view photos on your Android and iOS devices. Automatically back up photos from your Mac or PC, connected cameras and SD cards.
