I realize this wasn't part of your question/assumption, but I'd start with don't use Zoom, since it is such a security disaster and there are lots of other better options out there starting with Jitsi. As for hardware, modern laptops are the easiest with built-ins. A modern dSLR/pointNshoot/videocam can be used via USB and gphoto2: https://askubuntu.com/questions/856460/using-a-digital-camera-canon-as-webcam I tried this on another distro and have some other issues to resolve before this will work for me. Doing a search on: gphoto2 webcam should give you some other ideas. As for other dedicated webcam hardware, I'd guess that almost anything else should just work given usb video standards. > -Alan slainte mhath, RGB -- Richard Guy Briggs -- ~\ -- ~\ <hpv.tricolour.ca> <www.TriColour.ca> -- \___ o \@ @ Ride yer bike!
