Any cheap webcams in stock anywhere?
Hi all,

With everyone working remotely it appears that webcams are out of stock everywhere and prices have skyrocketed. Even though I have a webcam on my laptop, I typically keep my laptop closed during the day since I have a dual monitor setup. The company is encouraging more video meetings, so I was hoping to get some sort of cheap USB webcam with microphone that I can mount on top of my big monitor. I've looked all the usual places to find a cheap one in stock with no luck. The Logitech C270 seems about right for my needs. Anyone happen to know a place that has some in stock? Thanks.

Chris

Hard to find now, along with monitors.

Consider some sort of stand/mount for your phone and use that for video conferences instead maybe?

I could, but the company is using Microsoft Teams for video conferencing. I know we can install M365 on our personal phones, but I didn't really want to install company stuff on there, at least not yet.

Newegg seems to have many in stock currently.

I downloaded an APP that lets me use my DSLR as a webcam.

Might be on option...
