Ask HN: Good USB camera for remote work with good Linux compatibility?

11 pointsby urlwolfabout 5 years ago
Zoom makes my 12 core CPU burn to the ground. I wonder if it&#x27;s the camera. Some cameras do some processing in hardware it seems, but I suspect this happens only with proprietary drivers (probably not on linux).<p>Anyone found something they like?

Logitech 920 or 615, but webcams are sold out everywhere, right now.

Not a hardware solution but it&#x27;s being talked about today, I wonder if using OBS to capture the video and outputting it to v4l2 loopback with <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;CatxFish&#x2F;obs-v4l2sink" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;CatxFish&#x2F;obs-v4l2sink</a> and reading it in zoom that way would be better. Just a thought, hope this helps.

The good webcams are sold out everywhere, so you&#x27;ll be lucky if you find anything!

I haven&#x27;t been able to use my webcam lately because the teleconferencing I use (WebEx and Slack) is having issues keeping up with bandwidth. I haven&#x27;t even been able to use the On Computer audio and had to dial in.

You can try Droidcam, which allows your phone to be used as a webcam.

I used Logitech C920 HD Pro for a couple years with Ubuntu. It worked pretty well. I cannot vouch for the issue you&#x27;re mentioning though.
