    Not Far-Field microphones

    I bought this webcam knowing it was only 720p, but liked that it claimed to have far-field microphones. It does not. The microphones were worse than my regular 1080p webcam. The picture quality was good for a 720p cam. I returned it.

    Horrible Overexposure

    Overexposes you regardless of whether you are front-lit or back lit. You will look like a ghost! Adjusting the brightness, white-point, and contrast help you to look vaguely human instead of like an ethereal spirit haunting your Zoom meeting.

      Hi Frankie, sorry to see you're having software issues with your C505 webcam. You can try to adjust the video settings in the app that you're using to see if that remedies the issue.

      Hi Bree, thank you for writing this review. The C505 webcam is designed as plug and play. When the webcam is plugged in and an application on the computer that uses a webcam it will activate the webcam on so that its ready for use. If you are using a program but don't want the webcam being used you can unplug the device when its not in use. There is no set power button on the webcam. You can also cover the lens when not in use so that its not picking up any video when you don't want it to. If you have more questions about your device please visit us at support.logi.com for more information. Kristi from Logitech.

    Defective out of the box. Not much more to say, except for some reason they refunded me with cash when I purchased online... overall not a great experience.

    The webcam is alright if you playing games in 30fps and streaming the same time. I think this would be good for talking on skype calls or something thatll be good for. Price wise is not the best for this

    Perfect for video calls and the new way we work

    This Logitech webcam is the perfect companion for days filled with video calls to colleagues and family alike. The device is small, attractively designed, and works very well with a minimum of user setup or intervention. The device installs quickly and easily into any available USB port and the image is clear enough with up to 720p resolution (more than enough for video call purposes). Audio is also very clear and the mounting position on top of any monitor (or even laptop screen) provides a good view of the speaker in most situations, being angled slightly down toward the subject. The best feature, however, is the excellent control of subject lighting. As many of us are discovering in this age of increased video call usage, not all settings are conducive to good lighting for video calls and subjects are frequently very dark when they have windows or other light sources behind them. I've used this cam for many hours of business calls with varied light conditions and I can confidently say that this Logitech cam does an outstanding job of correcting for a broad range of lighting situations without the need for extra lights - far better than any other cams I've used. The fact that this feature just works by default and without the need for special software, tweaking or user intervention makes it all the more useful. If you're looking for a great no nonsense webcam to give you a professional look on your upcoming video calls, this one has you covered. Pros: - Quick and easy setup with no special software required. - Mounting position is ideal to provide a good view of the subject. Cams built into laptop lids tend to look up at the subject, which can result in a less flattering view. - Outstanding correction for a wide variety of lighting issues with excellent dynamic range and highlighting of the subject. - Solid audio performance. - In my testing, worked perfectly with Zoom and Microsoft Teams. - Indicator light clearly shows when the cam is active. Cons: - Some may wish for 1080p vs. 720p resolution

    Decent for starters. Has a usb to plug into pc and a clip to attach to the monitor. You can physically move the camera once you’ve set it up. The end
