Webcams for Zoom

[DoctorT]

Hi!

I am planning to buy a Logitech C920 webcam for my laptop.
Will it work for Zoom?

Thanks!

Yes, I can confirm that we are able to use Logitech C920 webcams with both Windows and Mac Zoom Clients, as well as Windows, Mac, and Android Zoom Rooms.

You can also view the list of Zoom-Certified hardware for personal use here:

As you can see, the C920e (same exact drivers/build as the vanilla C920, but 'enterprise' edition - ships with the mic muted) is not only compatible, but certified.

Hi

I have to purchase a webcam because my desktop does not meet requirements for virtual backgrounds.  If I buy a separate webcam will I be able to use virtual backgrounds in zoom and if so, what product should I purchase.

Thanks!

Yes, you will be able to use virtual backgrounds with an external webcam if your computer/device meets all other requirements (https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0060007)

Many, many, many webcams will work, but to be safe, please consult Zoom's list of 'certified' devices here: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0063101#h_01F2PA151BBH089EG1CFZX09...

Has anyone had issues controlling the C920 camera (zoom, colour, contrast, etc)? I have Logitech G Hub and it is not carrying over. Thank you!

Works when using a C920 with LogiTune (tested on both Mac and Windows systems).

Which version of Zoom and which OS are you using?

Thank you for your quick reply. I am using Zoom Workplace, Version: 6.1.12 (46889). This is on Windows 11 Business.
