wow, some people want over £100! Worth a try, I guess...I've offered 20
quid to someone, let's see... thanks for the tip (stupidly, it didn't
occur to me to look on ebay, what's that about?)
Cheers,

Hi Jason,
Just had a quick look on eBay and they’re several 2nd hand iSight
cameras……..but maybe the lockdown locks should be even less in
focus!

Hi folks,
I'm using an old Mac Pro to work from (I do have a Macbook air with
camera but wifi is erratic and the machine is under-powered). It
seems socially and politically impossible to continue without a
webcam but I'm getting confusing info about whether webcams can be
expected to work. Eg some logitech ones have software that refuses to
run because the processor is too old (though it can handle anything I
throw at it). I can't tell if the software is necessary or just
useful.
Other sources say anything should work at a basic level.
I've tried virtual cameras using my iPhone but Teams and Blackboard
Collaborate don't recognise them (boo, this would be perfect).
Is anyone using a (not expensive) webcam on a mac without a built-in
camera (eg mac mini) who can say 'yep, this one works fine'. I
honestly don't care about picture quality or even the mic. I'm
running Mojave not Catalina (it won't run 10.15 at all). The smaller
the better as there is not really anywhere on the desk for it
(something on a 'stick' that has a small camera would be perfect). I
don't want one that sits on the top of the monitor either! (not
fussy, am I...)
(wish I'd kept the old FW iSight I had years ago now!)
Ps because they provide me with the Macbook Air, work's position is
that they have provided me with a camera so they're not buying
another one, which I guess is fair enough but I'm not switching to a
slow laptop or spending a fortune just so they can inspect my lack of
haircut...
Cheers,
Jason
