Can the microphone be used without the webcam null

Yes, possibly a couple of ways. First way: purchase a web cam 'blinder'. Best Buy sells them. (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/saharacase-anti-spy-privacy-camera-cover-6-pack-black/6429192.p?skuId=6429192) SaharaCase - Anti-Spy Privacy Camera Cover (6-Pack) - Black | Model:SB-WC-P | SKU:6429192. They come in six though. An easier way is a small sticky note placed over the eye. This will hide the video, but allow the audio. Second way: go into your PC's or laptop's camera settings and turn off the camera for the application you are using it in. But in microphone settings, turn on the microphone for the application you are using it in. You can get to the settings via the Windows Logo key or icon in the task bar, bottom left, and start typing "camera settings" or "microphone settings" and the Privacy settings option should pop up. Just click "Open" on the right or hit the [ENTER] key to open the settings panel. Hope that helps.

Haven't tried it, but expect it can.

I only use this item for Zoom meetings. Zoom allows you to turn on or off both audio and video separately, so you would be able to turn off the video while remaining active on audio and vice-versa. Hope this helps. BobS
