I got a Kinect from Xbox 360 and I bought an adaptor to plug it to my laptop. The problem is, I already installed 1.8 SDK and developer tools but when I run Kinect Explorer it says 'kinect sensor required'. So I look the device manager I couldn't find Microsoft Kinect, there's only Generic USB Hub. I tried to use the older version, 1.7, but it makes no different. What should I do to get this Kinect works?
I had the same problem when connected Kinect through an external USB hub. When I plugged it directly into the PC USB port everything was OK.

I'm trying to use the feed from all Azure Kinect cameras in other apps (e.g. iMotions, OBS).
Unfortunately, there is only one camera available on the device manager, under "Camera > Azure Kinect 4K Camera" while the other cameras appear under "Universal Serial Bus devices".
I would expect to see them all under "Camera". Can you please provide further details on how to solve this problem.
Also, note that:
I can see all the cameras in the Azure Kinect Viewer but cannot use the feed in other apps.
The firmware is the latest one.
I'm using a usb 3.0 port
Thanks in advance
So instead of buying another webcam I decided to try out the Xbox 360 Kinect stored away in our storage. I successfully paired it to my cMP 5,1 running OSX Mojave and windows 10 in bootcamp. I bought the adapter to connect the kinect to USB from amazon, $12 ("JETEHO 1 Pc Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor USB AV Adapter"). Now with Kinect for Windows Runtime v1.8 installed, the devices that show up when the Kinect is connected are as follows:
Kinect for Windows recognizes the kinect as a camera, this is not what Teams recognizes though
So the camera there is recognized by the computer, but my problem is that when I open MS Teams this does not get recognized as one of the devices. The tricky thing is that MS teams recognized the Kinect as an audio device, but I need it to be recognized as a video device.
MS teams recognized the Kinect as a USB audio device
Kinect as a usb audio device can also be seen in the device manager:
Kinect is recognized as a usb audio device, but I need it to be video as well so I can use it as a webcam in MS Teams
Below is a snip of the MS teams settings not showing the camera as being there: Settings in MS teams showing no camera detected
So, I wanted to know could there be something that I am missing, a driver perhaps of some sort? I have the KinectCam.ax file installed as well and registered, again with no change.
I've tried installing the various SDK's from Microsoft website including v1.8 and v2.0 and even tried installing the most recent runtime from Microsoft for Kinect v2.2 with no avail. The machine still doesn't recognize the kinect as a video or camera device in the device controllers and its driving me bonkers! I have OpenNI virtual cam v0.9.5.0 installed and it recognized the Kinect. The SDKs I've installed also recognize the camera from the Kinect but not MS Teams and that is what I was hoping to use as a webcam device. Any solutions I will try at this point. Also, this website proved somewhat useful, but for some reason I am not getting the same results as them.

GammalSkinka found the solution by using virtual cam for Teams to recognize the device, but I'm not getting the same results as well as cbscript_chris.
working with runtime installed, and w/o sdk, but not for me =(
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated!
The Azure Kinect sensor SDK requires Kinect to connect directly to pc via usb, but it's not appropriate to me. Is it posible to use something like raspberry pi to transfer kinect sensor data and process on a remote server? Do you have any suggestions for this?
I found the Kinect sdk does not support ARM architecture(raspberry pi)，what other device can I use?
Processing the depth camera image requires GPU compute, so we don't currently support headless operation. There are some users that have successfully enabled headless operation on Linux, but it is not a straight forward path. See https://github.com/microsoft/Azure-Kinect-Sensor-SDK/issues/810 for more info.
I have an Arduino-compatible board with USB Host Shield. It is connected to an Acer A100 Android tablet running "Ice Cream Sandwich" (Android 4.0.3) with Kernel 2.6.39.4. (The tablet has a USB micro connector and does not support USB HOST mode and therefore cannot connect directly to a USB accessory device.)
This picture shows what I have been able to do successfully (but with my tablet in place of the phone).

I would like to find an example of using an Android tablet connected to a USB Accessory (such as a keyboard or flash drive) via Arduino.
Connecting the USB accessory to the Arduino's USB micro connector (using an external power supply) does not work.
Can anyone provide me with such an example?
Theoretically it should work, I haven't tried it yet though.
Arduino should act as the middle man and should relay signals both from your tablet and the accessory.
What code are you use?
This is: adk_release_20120606?
And what board are you use SeeeduinoADK?
I use board Seeeduino ADK, but unfortunately I could not make it work in USB accessory mode. My board work in only ADB (MicroBridge mode). See my work example
My tablet is Ainol Aurora with Android version 4.0.4 (CyanogenMod 9)
I'm trying to use the Kinect SDK v1 with an Xbox Kinect sensor. I installed the SDK on my dev machine and I launched the samples. The C# samples do not work, I either get "oops there was an error" or a "NotReady" status and FPS is stuck at -1.
At first I thought this was a problem with the device itself, so I tried installing the SDK on my laptop and the samples work on that fine, both the C# and C++. So the kinect device itself is ok.
I've reinstalled the SDK on my development machine, and I still have the same issues.
Any ideas/solutions?
EDIT: I should note that I have previoulsy developed with this kinect under the 1.0 SDK and when I debug my own app the sensor status enum is still "NotReady"
How is dev machine configuration different from laptop. In the release notes # http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/develop/release-notes.aspx it's mentioned that
USB host controller compatibility
The Kinect for Windows drivers have encountered compatibility problems with certain USB host controllers when tested in specific computer configurations. Some examples of these controllers are the AMD Fusion A75 USB2.0 controller, the Etron USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller, or the Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Controller. On those controllers, you may encounter a problem, such as a low RGB frame rate, or a Not Ready status when plugging/unplugging a Kinect. These compatibility problems are more likely to occur on PC's running the Windows 8 Developer Preview, or if you plug/unplug multiple devices repeatedly. If this happens to you, you may have to restart your app or reboot your computer. You can also try plugging your device into another USB 2.0 controller.
