Skype: I bought this camera for Skype meetings, and Skype just cannot give me an image better than 480p. In dual mono, the voice is amplified and you can be heard. In stereo, the audio recording is incredibly low. Microphone: clear voice, but do make sure you use "Dual Mono" and not "Stereo" for meetings. But then again, the C270 is so limited by today's standards, any new webcam was going to be great. Field of view: I was a little worried the field of view wouldn't be wide enough, but actually it's perfect for meetings, my head isn't cropped like it was on the C270, I fill in about a 1/3 of the image and have a nice living room background. I wanted something which stood out, this one does. I really didn't want a black boring webcam like most are designed these days. Whilst rather large, it feels solidly constructed and fits well in a modern environment. Design: it's a lovely webcam to have on your desk or monitor. The Logitech Brio, which I was really after, was available but for silly money Its price had not been inflated due to current shortages I ended up buying the streamcam for four reasons: Anyway with most reputable brand webcams being out of stock, choice was rather limited. No streaming or YouTube, plain simple conference video streaming. My use is solely for online video meetings. I've been researching webcams for a long time now, in desperate need to upgrade my C270 which I've had for more than 10 years.
