In order to use zoom for a class, can you use any video camera (such as one used for YouTube) or do you specifically need a webcam ? will a camera sold as "for YouTube" work with zoom?

Hi @LyliP 

As long as that camera can be recognized by the system, and thus Zoom, it should be acceptable. Does it plug in via USB? Can you select it with other apps?
