Bought this webcam refurbished for this price a couple of months ago. The Windows Hello works really well even in low light conditions, but the camera quality is not very good (grainy, need lots of light). Advertises 1080p, but I believe its 720p upscaled. There is no microphone so be aware of that. Works fine for conference calls, but don't expect to be Twitch streaming with this anytime soon.

Completely agree. Bought it new, used windows hello for about a week. Doesn't really hold up well to low light and doesn't have any settings to adjust. I paid $50 but probably should've waited for a Logitech.
I also own this. Image quality is mediocre. It is the least expensive camera I am aware of with Windows Hello capability. Has a shutter function for privacy as well.
Lack of built-in microphone is a baffling omission for a webcam.
Overall, I would only recommend for those who would like to add Windows Hello functionality for their computer.
Who the heck designs a webcam without a mic? It's like selling a TV without speakers. Great for the deaf community, but that's about it. Very few laptops/desktops have a just a mic and no camera (some Dell's do, but not enough to warranty making a webcam without a mic).

Integrated Microphone: N/A
Jeebus, I didn't know they still made webcams without microphones.

I believe many do something similar.
By the way, that might be a record number of grammatical errors on such a short post!

Also, this is the cheapest Windows Hello device you can find. Which comes handy specifically in WFH scenario.
