Great iPhone alternative for Zoom Education

I have been running demo classes on Zoom using an iPhone and a computer. It was excruciating switching devices (and I had to stop the audio on my computer to avoid reverberation). With the AVer M5 Visualizer, I can start a Zoom call with the visualizer and just turn it down to do my demos. The camera is connected to my computer across the room via a powered USB cable and powered USB port, so the computer doesn't have to be on the same desktop. I like this setup because my Mac is also connected through Apple TV so I can watch my demo on the big screen. The camera itself has a built-in microphone, as well as LEDs with different brightness. I haven't tried to record videos with this camera yet, but will test this function soon. I'm just glad I don't have to reconfigure the system to do both calls and demos. The video quality isn't as sharp as my iPhone, but it's still very good. I am very pleased with this camera and its versatility - it has made a very difficult task very easy.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
