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
