Review: Works fine with Windows 10, settings can be adjusted via Skype! - This review is for the "Microsoft LifeCam Studio 1080p HD Webcam - Gray" in case you find it under another product. I was looking for a new webcam for the frequent Zoom meetings I attend. The main requirement was the camera's viewing angle had to be narrower than the wide-angle view provided by nearly every other less-expensive webcam. This can only be obtained via optical zoom (preferable but unavailable at this price point) or some form of digital zoom effect. The reason this is important for online conferencing via Zoom and related systems is that the normal wide-angle view makes your face too unimposingly tiny, especially in "gallery" view. Imagine my surprise when I found a whole slew of camera controls in the Skype settings menu (ridiculously, they aren't even available via the Windows 10 camera app.) Among the controls that are adjustable is a digital-zoom setting -- exactly what I was looking for! How to take advantage of this in Zoom: Open Skype, adjust the settings for the camera using the Skype Audio and Video settings controls. Remember to hit the "Apply" button on both settings windows. Exit Skype and start Zoom and the camera settings will have been preserved between the two applications! Using this procedure and sitting about a foot from the camera, I was able to get my face to fill at least 3/4 of the screen height, the exact effect I was after. I've only tested this with Zoom so I don't know if it works with other conferencing or picture/video software. But it's good enough for my purposes, especially since I bought this model back in 2012, way before there ever was Zoom. BTW, this camera's image quality from the start has been extremely good and it is still competitive today.
