The webcam I bought is not the one illustrated on "My Order"
I bought the one with the orange stripe on it. The installation intructions are minimal, almost negligible. The webcam comes with a plastic film over the lens and a fixed cable 1.5m long with a conjoined USB-A male plug and a 3.5 mm coax jack plug for the mic socket of your PC. I am running Windows 10 which detected the webcam with built-in mic automatically, but that's as far as it went without help, of which there was none in the instruction manual (which comprised 2 sides of a piece of paper 9cm by 7cm!). Fortunately the Internet quickly directed me towards checking Windows settings which may need changing to allow it to access the camera and the mic. If you go straight into Zoom or whatever without checking this settings you may be unable to get far.Having got my ugly mug to appear on the screen, I could not understand why the sound of my voice was so rubbish - just a feeble mumble. I was beginning to suspect that I had bought a lemon. However, I remembered that my computer was a few years old so the sound chip may be running with an out of date driver. This turned out to be the case. After installing the latest appropriate driver the sound came out of the speakers (having been captured by the mic) with a much more robust volume and quality. So all you folks who may be disappointed with this little webcam, update your drivers. It may not be the greatest but it is worth what I paid for it, and it sits securely on the top edge of my screen without falling off or obscuring the actual display area.The image quality is adequate, for the money. Not brilliant but good enough. At this price I am quite happy with it.

AUDO AND SETTINGS
A good image. But the audio is very quiet. I have my mic settings on PC up full. It says you can take photos with it but there is no way to do this. There is no cam control software. It arrived way ahead of time so that's a good thing. If the audio was better I would have given it 5 stars.

Wonky camera with a terrible mic
More irritating than anything but the camera is actually installed at an angle meaning I've had to awkwardly prop it up on one side so it doesn't look like I'm sat at 25° all the time. The camera quality is ok, the mic is awful as I basically have to yell for people to hear me on calls.Probably best to just splash out on a decent camera, don't waste your time with this one.

Be aware of the volume control issues
It would have been very helpful if the instructions said check your computer volume. Mine was turned low and nobody could clearly hear me. Once I went into the system on my computer and raised the volume level it was excellent.Great value.

Suitable webcam for video meetings.
This webcam is easy to set up and test. It arrived quickly. It connects to the PC with a cable that splits into two cables, one for USB and the other as the microphone input. If the microphone input and USB connectors are far apart, you might need an extender for one of the cables (as on my Dell laptop), but this is not a problem on my desktop PC. Picture quality is good. The only slight reservation is that the microphone is not very sensitive.

Wasted my money - avoid
Was looking to upgrade the webcam on my 10-year-old computer but made a mistake buying this one. Took ages to arrive. No instructions. Clip is useless. Picture quality and light levels are both much poorer than my existing webcam. Certainly not HD quality as advertised. Avoid.

Avoid!
Looks nothing like the picture for one thing. Goes duff after a few minutes, displaying a weird purple pattern! Asked for refund, buying a much more expensive webcam.
