Webcam

[Newchodge]

I have been using a logitech C270 webcam with my PC, for zoom meetings, etc. The picture has now started to flicker, so I| think it is time to get a new one. Any recommendations, please?

It's most likely not faulty, check the settings first:

1. Download and install the Logi Tune Desktop software.
2. Connect the Logitech webcam to the computer.
3. Open Logi Tune.
4. Click My Devices.
5. Click the desired webcam.
6. Click the Settings tab.
7. Select Anti-flicker.
8. Toggle the setting to use the other refresh, either NTSC 60Hz or PAL 50Hz.
9. Click Save.

Thanks. It looks as if my webcam is not on the list of supported devices - it isn't beng detected and it isn't on the list.

Do you have any software that came with it where you can access the settings? You're looking to try different refresh rates

No, but I am trying Logitech support. Thanks

If it is the webcame, C270s are still easily available, you could just replace like-for-like if you're happy with it. I use the same one.

Flatly refuse to do zoom, or teams, or any of that nonsense.

You wanna talk to me, call me!

A mate of mine has just taken on a new job that he believed was visiting customers face to face with occasional zoom meetings. Whilst the idea of greater productivity - no travelling time etc., is a definite plus, he's effectively unavailable for any other normal interaction whilst locked into around 4-5 hours a day staring at a webcam as emails, texts etc., build up! Ask him what he does most days and he'll tell you 'I call people back'..?

Thanks everyone, it looks like I have the original one working properly again.

Should have established the full facts before takingthe job on.

As opposed to being locked into driving a car and having face to face meetings?

Cyndy's OnlyFans business can get going again.

Just because something is modern, that isn't a good enough reason to use it!

During the height of the space race in the 1960s, legend has it, NASA scientists realized that pens could not function in space. They needed to figure out another way for the astronauts to write things down. So they spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars to develop a pen that could put ink to paper without gravity. But their crafty Soviet counterparts, so the story goes, simply handed their cosmonauts pencils.

Just need the write tool for the job.

They do though. Capillary action.

Try writing upside down with a BIC! And those Space Pens were rubbish too. Like trying to write on grease proof paper.

No gravity to fight it up there.

NASA didnt spend millions developing a space pen, one was developed by someone else:

NASA did not spend billions on space pens while Russia used pencils

Social media users are resharing old posts that falsely say NASA spent a decade and millions if not billions of dollars of tax-payers' money developing pens for its astronauts while Russia made do with pencils.

I'm not familiar with the protocols around Zoom meetings but in the car he can answer his phone. In a face to face meeting he can ask for a break to take an urgent call.

Says the person who won't give any facts about a business they want to sell but still expects people to respond. Bit of an own goal there!

You forget the hitch hikers. The good old days, meeting loads of interesting people and the occasional lunatic.

There is no reason he can't do that on zoom. Although answering the phone while driving is dangerous and breaking any meeting to take an 'urgent call' would end my relationship with them.

This guys role is to leverage funds from government pots into community organisations. The relationship you would end is one where 'your' organisations survival could rely on the work he does for them.

Besides being a fidgety bitch who can't sit still, this is why I don't do zoom!

We use the Logitech C920 HD Pro for all of our computers and it's been super helpful.

It has a webcam cover and a blue light when it's active so the chance of forgetting it on is slim.

Hope it helps,
