Excellent webcam (except field of view)

I use this webcam with a Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook (because Dell placed the built-in webcam under the screen. What were they thinking?). My OS is Windows 10 Pro and I am using this camera to teach at a local college via Zoom. As others have said, installation is nothing more than plugging the camera into a USB port. That's all. Windows 10 recognized the camera straight away and I can use it with Zoom, MS Teams and probably any other video conferencing app. The protective sleeve that comes with it is nice, but (minor issue) it's not permanently attached and can be accidentally removed if I open or close it. I didn't use the included tripod; Attaching and adjusting seems easy. The only thing I regret about buying this camera has to do with its field of view. The field of view describes the width of the area captured by the camera lens. Many webcams have a field of view between 65 and 80 degrees. This range results in the person sitting in front of the camera being a more visible part of the scene being filmed and broadcast. This camera has a 110 degree field of view, which causes my image to represent a smaller portion of the live image unless I'm sitting unusually close to the camera. This camera is the best choice for group broadcasts or large area recording for demonstrations. The image is still sharp and responsive to movement, but I really should have looked at this feature when I bought the webcam.
