Chad, check out the Philips cameras. They make a few that have external
mics, which you could place for the best reception.

Subject: [info-tech] Skype and boardrooms

 

I am looking for a webcam to use for Skype in a boardroom or larger
setting that has a sufficient built-in microphone. I have discovered a
few options, but I am wondering what others might be using for this
purpose.

 

Thanks,

This one actually has two microphones:

While this one has an external mic:

Chad-

 

West Des Moines talked about using the Lumens Flex Cams (the
red ladybug as our District now knows them by) as a Skype camera.  Can't
vouch for it, and don't know about the microphone idea either.  But, it
is on my list of things to check out.

Logitech Quickcam 9000.  We just worked with one in the boardroom last night.  
It worked great right up until he lost connection in Des Moines...
