How to change default webcam in windows 10

I have installed Windows 10.  My PC has a built in webcamera, but I don't want that set as my default webcam.  I want to set my logitech usb webcam as the default.  How do I do this?  Note I don't want to uninstall or disable the internal webcam, I simply don't want it as the default.
