And I may end up either going this route or Tom's Pi Camera
My purposes for this is basically work based video conferencing and being
able to share documents:
- I have to use Zoom so I have that on an old laptop running Windows.
There is no data on Windows (although there is on a VM)
- I have to use Microsoft Teams
- I liked Gordon's comment Jitsi as "it just works"
- I probably need a microphone of some sort as my bluetooth headset
microphone is not currently been seen. (Ears are).
I would have bought Logitech but frankly after a month of waiting I am not
interested. Yes these are probably imitations but its not as if I am doing
anything complicated. If they work then great and if I save £45 for not
having a logitech logo for a non existent service then I am even happier
