Ratings and reviews

This camera worked great for a bit, but as the years went on, performance became really unreliable and poor. camera would lag horrendously, constantly disconnect, and generally not work at all. I put up with it because I had no other choice, but I finally just got fed up and couldn't take it anymore.

Works very well. Have used it for many Zoom and Skype meetings and it is reliable. Never lost connection yet. You do have to manually open app on both phone and PC to use but it is not difficult. I had to Google how to set my phone for 'debugging' in order to connect it via USB. It also allows you to choose portrait or landscape and also let's you choose front or back camera. Almost gave it a 5.

Works well. You have to make sure that the phone app is already running and visible on the phone screen (not in just running in background) while you open the app on the computer or it will say it's an error, connection reset or lost. Once that is done the connection is very good, I've tried the usb and Wi-Fi connections. They had good video and audio. In the settings on my computer software I can choose which cell camera to use and computer or cell audio, so lots of options.
