My laptop webcam has broken, and I dont have the energy to get it fixed
under RTB warranty.
Are there any gotchas about buying for linux (ubuntu 18.04).
More specifically
- Quality - doesn't have to be much better than built in one. Not
planning on recording publishable videos
- Mounting on tripod is important. On the monitor is at the wrong angle
and too close.
- Not too bothered about microphone
Human side. Initially I thought no webcam had advantages for zoom and the
like but over the weeks I have found I get left out. "Put your hand up if
you want to speak".
I am pretty sure it is a hardware issue. I have tried a 20.04 live USB and
that fails.
Ps
One site says Support multiple operating systems, including Windows, Mac
OS, Android Smart TV, etc.
I would like something a little more definitive than "etc".
