Hi folks,
I'm using an old Mac Pro to work from (I do have a Macbook air with
camera but wifi is erratic and the machine is under-powered). It seems
socially and politically impossible to continue without a webcam but I'm
getting confusing info about whether webcams can be expected to work. Eg
some logitech ones have software that refuses to run because the
processor is too old (though it can handle anything I throw at it). I
can't tell if the software is *necessary* or just *useful*.
Other sources say anything should work at a basic level.
I've tried virtual cameras using my iPhone but Teams and Blackboard
Collaborate don't recognise them (boo, this would be perfect).
Is anyone using a (not expensive) webcam on a mac without a built-in
camera (eg mac mini) who can say 'yep, this one works fine'. I honestly
don't care about picture quality or even the mic. I'm running Mojave not
Catalina (it won't run 10.15 at all). The smaller the better as there is
not really anywhere on the desk for it (something on a 'stick' that has
a small camera would be perfect). I don't want one that sits on the top
of the monitor either! (not fussy, am I...)
(wish I'd kept the old FW iSight I had years ago now!)
Ps because they provide me with the Macbook Air, work's position is that
they have provided me with a camera so they're not buying another one,
which I guess is fair enough but I'm not switching to a slow laptop or
spending a fortune just so they can inspect my lack of haircut...
Cheers,
Jason
