I know Microsoft is relatively new in the hardware scene and don't want to take a too big chunk away from their customers (pc builders/manufacturers), but coming with a product which is par to a 9 year old product. We'd like to see a higher-performance model with a 4K resolution or a built-in ring light, but for now, it's good to see Microsoft catching up to the competition.ĭon't want to sound pessimistic, but how is this a great step? Here in the Netherlands the 920 is for sale since January 2012. The specs for the Modern Webcam are only on a par with Logitech's most popular model, but maybe that's all that's needed. Of course, it's far too early to comment on the Modern Webcam's quality, but it's about time that Microsoft had a webcam capable of streaming at 1080p. It's also certified for Microsoft Teams, and comes with a 1-year hardware warranty and a 30-day return window.

The Modern Webcam will be compatible with both Windows and MacOS, though it appears that some software functions will only work with PCs.Īs Microsoft looks to give it the broadest appeal, the Modern Webcam has a USB-A connector, rather than USB-C while this means that you'll need a USB-C hub with newer laptops, those with older PCs shouldn't have any trouble. Another feature called True Look presumably incorporates all three of these, so you can look your best on those endless Zoom meetings. Other features in the Modern Webcam include auto white balance (to account for overhead lighting), auto light adjustment, and facial retouch. Microsoft Modern Webcam: Special features Those specs match up almost identically with the Logitech C920 and the Logitech C920s, though it looks like Microsoft's webcam has just one microphone, to the C920's two. An integrated privacy shutter lets you block the camera's view, though it doesn't also turn off the microphone. It also has a 78-degree field of view, and HDR to better account for varied lighting conditions. We offer excellent customer service!
