Distance Learning and Operations Video Conferencing Recommendations

With WSU moving to course instruction online, CAHNRS IT is here to help you get the best student and professional experience possible. Here are a few of our most asked questions:

• What webcam should I use if my office computer doesn’t have one or is it low quality?
  • We recommend the following camera from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-LifeCam-Cinema-Webcam-Business/dp/B004ABQAFO/
• What microphone would you recommend?
  • Often the microphone in the webcam is good enough to provide a pleasant experience. If you would like a dedicated mic, we recommend this: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Snowball-Microphone-Brushed-Aluminum/dp/B002OO333Q/
• What camera would you recommend for a higher quality image or to use in a conference room?
  • The microphone camera combo that we would recommend is: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Conference-BCC950-Webcam-Speakerphone/dp/B0083I7Y8W/
