HuddleCam might be an option. Their little PTZ camera along with the microphone/speakerphone combo unit were a great fit for computer-based things like Zoom, Bluejeans, etc. https://huddlecamhd.com/ <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__huddlecamhd.com_&d=DwMFAg&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=bdujndzk63cwapsQF9rSMgnhnuxU0cS9lASsFuVHuUs&m=FZbKQJRAcr9y2HETvaJvHHBH25k-S-iLnmjueaYmEE8&s=xKvQ-A4jNLaT89E5AxCog0-dQSaw-QzZVZFhjRyU0Ts&e=> We bought one of these for the camera https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KB5CND6 <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__smile.amazon.com_gp_product_B00KB5CND6&d=DwMFAg&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=bdujndzk63cwapsQF9rSMgnhnuxU0cS9lASsFuVHuUs&m=FZbKQJRAcr9y2HETvaJvHHBH25k-S-iLnmjueaYmEE8&s=ZUJoJY8gzqMjLi63lKQ9QYh___svgAQWQ5blSr-kmpQ&e=> and this for the speakerphone kit https://smile.amazon.com/HuddleCamHD-Black-HuddlePod-Wireless-Speakerphone/dp/B00VF0O3HK <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__smile.amazon.com_HuddleCamHD-2DBlack-2DHuddlePod-2DWireless-2DSpeakerphone_dp_B00VF0O3HK&d=DwMFAg&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=bdujndzk63cwapsQF9rSMgnhnuxU0cS9lASsFuVHuUs&m=FZbKQJRAcr9y2HETvaJvHHBH25k-S-iLnmjueaYmEE8&s=swpmc_RQRZg4KC09bV26vWL1lpIDabcLH9tH5vHDt98&e=> They make a nicer camera, the newer 3rd-generation one https://smile.amazon.com/HuddleCamHD-10X-GY-G3-1080p-Camera-Optical/dp/B01G5XSQY2 <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__smile.amazon.com_HuddleCamHD-2D10X-2DGY-2DG3-2D1080p-2DCamera-2DOptical_dp_B01G5XSQY2&d=DwMFAg&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=bdujndzk63cwapsQF9rSMgnhnuxU0cS9lASsFuVHuUs&m=FZbKQJRAcr9y2HETvaJvHHBH25k-S-iLnmjueaYmEE8&s=uQdPaqz4xwEev3R-yzbK3epU50SXJgj_ASMqfDQPNwU&e=> Better zoom and a better video quality owing to being sent over usb3 instead of just usb2 The beauty of both systems is they're plug and play with no drivers needed - Zoom and everything else just auto picks it up as a regular USB camera, and the speakerphone has it's own dongle, so it can plug into a usb port and the computer treats it as another speaker and microphone device - just have to select it and off you go. The cameras have a little remote so you can move it around and zoom etc, and the speakerphone has a battery, so you can toss it in the middle of the room and it worked pretty well. We have everything in a pelican case, and cut the foam so it could hold the camera, remote, cables, power for the camera, speakerphone and dongle, and everything else. It's a nice compact little kit.
