Yep, I used the bottom code which didn't work. This morning I used the top code and it worked, sort of:

"Promotion Applied: -$9.00"

So, my cost was $20.99 instead of OP's $19.59. The deal is still there, but not quite as good. Still seems like a good deal.

I ended up returning this, could only get about 10-15FPS out of it. Horrible.

i bought this having no expectations. it's a pretty decent webcam but records basically my whole room. its high definition enough, yet the microphone is absolute garbage. That wouldn't be my use case since I have my own standalone microphone, anyone else that may need it for voice might be better off with another microphone. another problem is that it has absolutely no indication of when it's on or off, but I have it on an usb hub with on/off buttons so again an issue for me.

I think if someone just needs the webcam, this is a decent choice.

This is definitely the way to go. Physics is physics, and having a dedicated mic closer to your mouth is simply bare minimum tech. All that matters is delivery of video.

spot on. bought this as well, camera is fine, audio is god awful, doesn't matter for me as i have a separate mic, but it should be noted.

dorky picture of my dumb face attached, taken just now with said camera without any additional lighting or such, plain and simple.

Just an FYI, this camera, just like every other cheap webcam, does not focus. So, text or anything up close is gonna be impossible to see. If you take online exams and instructors want to see your photo ID, this camera will not focus on your ID, it'll be a blur.

I had to deal with this recently and went back to using my laptop.

Thanks. Due to Covid19 and my wife joining the army dragging me around the next 18 months to 3 locations, I decided to sign up for online courses that have those very requirements. Saved me some time and aggravation.

The picture from the camera is super wide-angle, so instead of seeing a closeup of the face, everyone will see your entire room with you lost somewhere in it. might be good for some applications but doesn't seem practical for normal face to face zoom conferences. Also, my unit came with a dead microphone. The system sees it as a USB microphone but dead silence when you select it. Returned mine.
