Microsoft LifeCam Studio for Business with built-in noise cancelling Microphone Auto-Focus Light Correction USB Connectivity for Microsoft Teams

Received the camera today. Nice looking and seems to be well built. Installed Microsoft webcam software on my Windows 8 PC.. Wouldn't even show on my desk top. When I plugged in the camera into the USB port, it would flash twice and the driver would load properly. but no picture. uninstalled the microsoft software and installed about three other webcam software. NADA. Still no picture and the camera would not turn on. I was believing I had a DOA on my hand. Then I remember someone mentioned ArcSoft Webcam Companion 4. Downloaded it and installed it. Webcam came on and the picture came out in High Definition. It also can be shown in 3d. I used one of those RED/GREEN 3d glasses made of card board and the video was actually in three dimensional. I went and purchased ArcSoft because it was the only software that would work on my Windows 8 x64 bit computer. I can see every pore on my face with this camera. I went from 640 x 480 to 1920 x 1080 and the difference was instantly noticeable. This camera does work in HD mode. The sound is very good. Gave it four stars because of the incompatibility of the software. Good thing the other software showed me it was a software problem and not hardware problem. I do recommend this webcam. I will update later if I encounter any problems with the webcam. Update: July 2017 - This computer camera from Microsoft has been working great with great sound from the Microphone. Since Updating to Windows 10 Pro, Every camera software including the Windows camera apps that came with Windows 10 Pro works great. In fact, Now Arcsoft Webcam 4 doesn't work in Windows 10 Pro and I needed to uninstall it. But as mentioned earlier, I don't need it anymore to run my webcam. Plenty of webcam software all work with this camera. Changed it to five stars. Read more

I needed a new USB camera for my big Windows 7 Desktop PC as I work for a company that uses Skype and Google Hangouts a lot, both for video and audio calls. What a difference this HD camera is over my old camera! Very clear, sharp video, no stuttering or color problems, good focus and the HD really makes a difference. Love how the mount is bendable and flexible, you can bend it over the top of a monitor, and I also has a standard screw mount so you can buy a cheap tripod if you want to mount that way. It was very easy to install, I uninstalled my old camera software, plugged in the new LifeCam Studio, the installation process went over the internet and downloaded the software it needed, and installed it. Set up a couple of choices for the camera, and done. Worked immediately with Skype, Google Hangouts, and Microsoft's Software with no adjustments or other changes. Takes still shots too! Hey for $50 you can't beat it. Read more

Thou this this is a little pricy, it is by far worth every penny, quite possibly one of the most important purchases I could have made. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good web cam. the pic quality of this this is out of this world. here is a quick update, as far as the cam capabilities, they are still amazing HOWEVER. they have put out a new firmware update that renders the camera useless, the hardware is still amazing, if you are able to get past the firmware update, and if they put out an update to fix what they broke, they I would still recommend this cam to anyone, I have had mine for a little over a year now, and since I did not do the updates, it still works fantastically well with a clear crisp picture and broadcast. but like I said, that is only because I did not update the firmware or drivers. I tryed to purchase one as a gift, and since there software is net based you will automatically get the update that breaks the cam... so as of right now (9/17/13) I would not recommend it.. but when and if the update gets fix... I would still say it is one of the best hardware netcams you can hope for. Read more

This cam works wonderfully and delivers superior image quality. The Auto-Focus works exceedingly well most of the time and is quick to adapt to changing circumstances, every once in a while I have to put my hand up to it if it doesn't refocus right away but this is rare. I have used this cam to Skype call with distant family and the audio has been clear and easy to hear. The USB cord is long enough to move the camera around easily. Only "issue" and it is incredibly minor, is that the cap for the lens never wants to stay on, it falls off too easily unless you leave the cam pointing toward the ceiling. You will not be disappointed by this cam for the price. Read more

This is the only cam that I have found that literally works with all of the meeting platforms. MS teams, zoom, webex, meeting place and google meet. I have had zero audio or video issues. Set up was automatic and no extra steps required to get it set up for teams. I went through a couple other web cams that didn’t work on teams even the ones that claimed to. I found the Microsoft brand just works seamlessly without issues. The picture and audio seems to be really good. I highly recommend spending a little extra on this model as it will save you some frustration down the road with compatibility I hope this helps someone make an informed decision. Read more
