Absolutely, love it!
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Comparing to what I had this camera gave me great satisfaction. Absolutely, love it!Stereo mic records clearly. Size is a little large compared to what I have seen in web cameras, and I am assuming it gets compensated having a stereo mic on it.At the first, I was annoyed with auto zooming but then realized that's something that can be turned off from the Windows. I would definitely recommend it, especially, for this price.

Great Buy!
For how inexpensive this webcam was, I am surprised how well the video quality is and it certainly doesn't look or feel cheap. The set up is really simple and easy to do (position it where you like and plug it in. You might have to play around a little with your computer settings to make sure that the picture and mic settings are enabled properly). Please note that this webcam did not come with a mini tripod. If you wish to use it with a mini tripod, you can pick up an Amazon basic one for like $7. The seller might even offer a (sold separately) mini tripod option, but I'm not sure. There's a screw hole on the bottom of the webcam where the tripod will screw into. I was actually pretty impressed with how good and sharp-looking the picture and video quality is, even in dim light. The built-in privacy shutter is a nice little bonus feature, although it doesn't fully cover the camera; a sliver is uncovered and a glimpse is visible (I included a picture to show how much is still visible with the privacy shutter closed all the way). When I tested the camera and mic by doing a video call with a friend, I didn't hear any complaints about the output from the mic. My friend could hear me clearly on their end without any static interference. Overall, I am very pleased with this webcam.

Not a Long-Term Webcam
EDITED REVIEW (10/7/20)I felt I needed to give an written update and make this review more detailed as I feel swindled by the false advertising and "Apple-like" technology that loses functionality and breaks down after the return window. I would be more than happy to provide a picture showing the quality of the camera itself, but don't feel comfortable posting a public screen-cap on the internet of myself. As with all customer reviews; take mine into logical consideration when making a purchasing decision.For context; I use this camera for college and business meetings. My setup is a $1700 custom-built rig that is more than capable of delivering the power that the webcam needs. My motherboard has 3-USB capability and I'm directly connected to a Ethernet port on my Mesh WiFi system. My ISP plan allows for Gigabit download speeds.I was able to get the webcam working to the production description for a little more than one month. I had no problems as the auto-focus feature was fine and camera quality was certainly more than I expected. Then I noticed a few issues with the product occurring about a month in.- The durability hints that this product is cheaply constructed. The springs which hold the clip in a fixed condition on the top of the monitor to the backside of the monitor surface are very weak. Only the top half of the clip is functional now, as the bottom half slides down and renders mounting this webcam; useless. The weight pulls the camera down and mounting this camera becomes impossible unless I tighten the springs. I have unfortunately resorted to using a box to prop up the webcam when I need to use it for now.- The auto-focus is very, very inconsistent. The auto-focus problem came around the same time as the spring problem. Auto-focus does not correct itself now efficiently, despite making changes in my lighting situation and attempting to work from a different environment. My face is consistently blurry, and looks no different from using an alternative $20-30 microphone on Amazon.- Which brings me to the third point; the colors are now off and the camera has lost its advertised 30 fps now in online connections. I've done rough testing outside of Zoom calls with third-party apps and found that I am now getting at most 20 fps, and in calls I am getting about 15 fps client-side. I don't know if I got a defunct unit, but this camera has become unusable for my business purposes where I am demanded to have a high quality webcam.- This camera DOES NOT handle virtual backgrounds well on Zoom, and other applications like Microsoft Teams. This has been an issue since I first purchased this product. Expect tearing and frequent exposure to whatever resides behind you. If you are using a high-back chair, do not wear the same color as the chair.- As for the privacy shutter, it does the job but leaves a part of your work environment exposed. It does not cover the full lens.I really wanted to love this product. But unfortunately there are just too many occurring issues that are rendering this camera nonfunctional for my business purposes. I cannot return this product as the window has closed. It has only been two months since I've had this product. Hopefully my review helps you in making a objective purchasing decision.

Cheaper webcam with all features I need
During this COVID-19 pandemic, most of my kid's classes got moved online (ZOOM mainly). My wife and I both use laptop to WFH and had no spare video cam for desktop that my kid can use for meeting, so I looked around and settled with this one, which is the cheapest with full feature. Not entirely sure why every webcam are now $50-90? Thought they were in the $20-30 ranges.I have never heard of Jelly Comb but its a simple product so what could go wrong? The package is small, and inside is just webcam and instruction. The device is plug and play so there is no need for driver. The mounting base is designed in a way that it can go on a tripod with screw hole, open up so it can be placed on top of TV, or fold it back so it firmly sits on a flat surface. The camera is rotatable so you can adjust where its pointing at. A nice feature is that right next to the lens, there is a plastic cover so when you don't use it, you can slide it to block the view of lens (prevent hackers from looking at you). Although, the lens' wide angle catches corner of this plastic. You can pop the plastic off anyways. There is a built in mic on the webcam so you can just set that as your audio input source. Very easy to use. I tried a few apps such as windows 10 native camera app, and ZOOM, this camera auto focuses so you don't have to mess around with lens setting.Lastly, I have also tried iSpy (PC Client), a free open source security camera app that you can use with a webcam to monitor/record your room, because I have an upcoming remodel project where contractors will walk in and out of the house. This camera records on movement and save the video onto desktop HDD just fine.TL;DR, This is a 1080P webcam has all the features you need for online meeting. It can be mounted/placed in many different way. It is plug-and-play and does not require driver, very easy to setup and use!Update: Found a $1.5 tripod from Daiso that would just attach to the webcam nicely.

Good cam, annoying auto-focus
I was looking for an affordable external webcam to do my conference calls. The picture quality is quite good, even in low light, there is not much noise. The setup is very easy. It's literally just plug-and-play. Nothing to install, no additional settings needed, it just works out of the box. It would be a great cam, worthy of 5 starts if not for this very annoying issue that it often loses focus and it takes a while to get it back. As I mentioned, I'm just using it for conference calls, nothing complicated and not a lot of moving subjects. However, the camera is hunting for focus a lot, even if I just sit still in a brightly lit room. It's very annoying and not a problem that I have ever encountered with the (cheap) integrated webcams.

Worthy change!
A very good change from laptop’s resolution. And certainly a pleaser to anyone who’s making the switch for the first time like me.
