I don't use this that often but when I do it seems that my picture starts jumping for my view as well as others during a zoom meeting after about 20-30min into a call. I'm not sure if this is the camera or the drivers but it does get annoying. I found that if I unplug from the usb during the call and plug back in, it goes away.

Nice compact webcam. No problem with connection, computer recognized it and downloaded the drivers. Settings allows adjustment for back light if you do not have lighting set up for camera. I used a mini tripod from a camera to set it up on an entertainment center to use for conferencing. Works well with Zoom, Skype and Microsoft Teams programs. Good for beginner or experienced user.

Decent webcam for the price
This is a pretty good camera for the low price. The lens is a very wide angle lens, and I wish it was possible to zoom in to tighten the shot. When using the full resolution the wide angle produces a slightly distorted view and I appear very small in the picture. If the camera could zoom in it would be a much better image.

Worked for about 5 minutes and then there was an incredible amount of static and noise on my DELL XPS. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and was never able to get it to work again. Video quality was poor as it kept washing out my face with its auto adjusting color.
Purchased a Logitech instead an it has been much better.

Sound is great, picture is great, works great with meeting apps. I really love the feature that allows you to blur your background if you are setup a bedroom or cluttered room. The mount doesn't attach but stays in place due to the antislip material and the position can be moved easily even during a metting.

Almost a 5 star
Imagine quality is great and it is very easy to adjust the angle. Only reason why I didn’t give 5 stars is a very minor irritant to me, it seems to zoom in and out. I’ll be on a Zoom call and one minute you only see so much of the area behind me then all of a sudden you see much more like it zoomed out.

Amazing. Much better than the built-in camera and microphone on my Dell Inspirion laptop. The camera captures a much broader view of the group in the room for Zoom meetings and the microphone picks up voices even from the back of the room, providing a much better experience for those joining us on Zoom. I expected more from it, but for the price (under $40) I did not expect this much. Definitely would recommend it.

Pretty Darn Good
It had some initial issue with the camera zooming in and out constantly but I emailed technical and they sent me an update file that fixed the issue. Works great now, people can hear me clearly and the picture quality looks good. It’s aesthetically pleasing too.

Cyber Acoustics WC2000 - Web camera so so
Not quite as sharp as original webcams purchased but mount better on screen. Why can't these cameras be added to older computers without camera? Found no download drivers or installation software with them.

Great camera, great price
I needed a camera for work from home meetings, this one is perfect. I have it mounted on my main monitor and was able to adjust it to show my face, without having to look up, down or over - this sits at a natural spot. The mount is very stable, the camera doesn't move or fall. The price was very reasonable and the quality is that of a more expensive camera.
