Camera Recommendation


Archlabs 2020.11.04 Openbox 3.6.1-7 SDDM 0.19.0-3
Dell Inspiron 13 7000

I'm being drawn into increased involvement with a non-profit org I am a member of, with a corresponding increase in zoom meetings. Up to now I have made do with the camera and mic in my laptop but, to put it most kindly, they are of crap quality.

I don't need broadcast or internet production quality but I do need a reasonable step up with a reasonable price. Recommendations please.

I recently purchased this camera and it works flawlessly. Also contains the mic. About $16 US

Thanks. That one (and a bunch of very similar ones) are "plug and play". Did you find that it worked OK on your linux o/s?
