Microsoft Webcams

A Microsoft webcam enables instant communication across incredible distances. They capture high-quality video and sound so that coworkers can see one other's faces during calls. Whether you need a compact device for travel or a high-definition camera for important meetings, Staples as plenty of peripherals to choose from.

Microsoft Webcams for Personal Communication
Many computer webcams use Microsoft's instant device recognition software to function as soon as they're plugged in. These cameras connect with USB 2.0 ports and can automatically update their firmware for optimized performance. They also capture high-quality video. This allows for streaming and recording so that workers can hold live video conferences or record important meetings for later review. Webcams vary in size, but most of these digital devices fit in the palm of the hand. They also fit inside briefcases for transport. Because of their lightweight designs, these accessories are as common in remote work environments as they are in fully-equipped offices.

Most webcams have adjustable arms that point their lenses toward a designated speaker, and these arms can hold their lenses in several positions. They grip the top of computer monitors, so viewers get eye-level views of the speakers, and they flatten to hold cameras directly on the surface of the desk. Some webcams have 360-degree rotation as well. This feature allows users to turn the camera to capture other subjects without lifting the camera itself. Most webcams automatically sharpen their focus on subjects, so the speaker doesn't need to make manual adjustments during meetings or conversations.

Video Chat and Recording Software for the Microsoft Webcam
While Microsoft's desktop webcams work with all the most common chat programs, they're specifically designed to work with Skype. This program offers free video chat for individual users, and it's commonly used in businesses of all sizes. All Microsoft LifeCams are certified to work with Skype. They provide crisp video and audio for businesses around the world. LifeCam models come with their own dashboards as well. These applications enable video adjustments with fun visual effects, and they record video files. These cameras all work with Windows operating systems, and many function on Macs as well.

Webcams with HD Video and Wide-Band Audio
While all these devices capture video and sound, some have wide-band microphones for exceptional sound quality. High-quality audio makes conversation partners seem as if they're in the same room, even when they're separated by thousands of miles. Many capture high-definition video as well, and it's important to transmit with as much quality as possible during video calls. These cameras allow offices to communicate with remote workers and with other sites, so quality matters. High-definition webcams capture at least 720p video, and top-quality models capture 1080p video. In general, more pixels means better video quality. Desktop accessories that capture video in 1080p offer crystal-clear visuals for recording and live streams.

These cameras allow you to speak to friends and coworkers over streaming video. Many capture high-definition video and come with all the cords you need to get started right away.
