Webcam

Join together these snippets and you'll be caught up with where I'm at.

- I use two screens, the larger one is above the laptop so my screens are stacked

- We use Skype for Business for our telephony and that offers video calling

- I do online tutorials which also offers video

- My webcam is part of the laptop, it's embedded in the bezel above the laptop screen

From the above you might see my thinking in purchasing a new webcam. Using the in-built one meant that any video showed the view up my nostrils as I look at the larger screen, the one on top. I now have one which sits on top of the upper screen, a far more sympathetic angle for those who feel that they have to see me (I only turn on my webcam when I have to). 

I remember when webcams were first commercially available - they cost an eye-watering amount of wonga. This one cost £3.50, the postage from China cost £2 so just over a fiver all up and it includes a microphone. I'm not expecting high definition for that but it works and that's as much as is needed. You can see unedited output in the extras.
