  • Webcam recommendations?

    Posted by Sarah Morgano on September 6, 2013 at 10:46 am

    Hi everyone,

    I’m interesting in using a webcam for Blackboard Collaborate/GoToWebinar/Google Hangouts/etc.

    Does anyone have a webcam that they would recommend that is decently priced?

    Many thanks,
    Sarah

      Sarah,

      I use a basic low-end Logitech webcam and it’s fine for Collaborate. The built-in microphone is a bit under powered, but if you’re going to be speaking, you’re probably using a headset anyway (and a headset is definitely a must for Collaborate). I don’t think my particular model is still made, but I believe it was under $50.
