Re: video card for watching videos
Pretty much any card you can find that begins with RX and ends with 580. Seriously, what is your budget? The majority of the RX 5xx cards are rock solid with the open source drivers and have fantastic acceleration. I replaced my GTX 1070 with an RX 580 and have never been happier.

Re: video card for watching videos
I would shoot for any mid-tier Nvidia series card. Something like a 710. https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT-710-2GD3-LP/dp/B01DOFD0G8/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1=NVidia+750=1587684263=8-2 Low power usage, still better then it's the successor for a cheaper price and so far lot of Nvidia cards I ran still held up pretty well w/ Linux vs AMD.

Re: Computer camera Zoom?
It's when vendors start adding things, like extra buttons, motion, or other features that they get wonky, much like any usb, network, or other camera. As a standard, UVC anything should work, but beware fancy devices with features, you're better off with an older, more basic device that just does its job well as a camera and nothing else. Note some include a microphone, this has never ended well with different input/output sinks for conference calls. My logitech does add a mic, I always get echo/feedback, in general vitriol from participants if I dare us it. I tend to stick to a single input/output device for audio like my jabra 510 puck. I suspect pulseaudio muxing latency. -mb On Thu, Apr 23, 2020 at 2:55 PM Matt Graham via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > > On Thu, Apr 23, 2020 at 12:48 PM mike enriquez wrote: > >> I have Ubuntu and I would like to attach a camera so I can use > >> "Zoom".

Re: Computer camera Zoom?
The older the better if it meets your resolution standard, but these are pretty standard (and cheap used). I use an old logitech c910 I bought 10 years ago that works great still when needed unless you really have to have a modern high-res one. Otherwise I'd say stick with classics known/reported to work with linux. I saw a dupe of mine at a goodwill like 6mo ago for 2 bucks I almost bought as a spare. Ahh, the good old days of going places. -mb On Thu, Apr 23, 2020 at 12:48 PM mike enriquez via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > I have Ubuntu and I would like to attach a camera so I can use "Zoom".

Computer camera Zoom?
I have Ubuntu and I would like to attach a camera so I can use "Zoom". Can anyone in the group give me the name of a good camera? Thank You.
