Hi guys
currently run a late 2012 mac mini, can anyone recommend a decent webcam for Skype and FaceTime calls. Most of what I see in PC World are windows based and Maplin do not give any operating system suggestions.

There are a number of USB cams that work well, but recently I pulled on old iSight out of the closet just to see if it works, and it does just fine. I only need it for audio (screen share) but the cam still looks great. No need to get a mic just yet for my purpose.

Never thought I'd touch the Firewire port on this 2012 Mini, but... 😉
 
I use the old style Xbox cam... Almost any usb cam should work ...



Webcam that I use .. Then use BT headset for audio since you'll get ghosting in audio if you use build-in mics on Skype etc.. 😱
