Review on Zoom Background Chair - Cam-A-Lot Dual-Sided Webcam with Green Screen Privacy, Perfect for Work from Home Video Conferencing by Christina Johnson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It's of little use if you can't control the zoom of your camera.

Bought thinking it might help me hide my bedroom background during hangouts. Unfortunately, it's not wide enough to leave large portions of both sides of my video open. My laptop's built-in webcam doesn't have a zoom control, so I couldn't solve this problem. Returned the item and a colleague recommended OBS Studio which has a virtual camera feature. This allowed me to resize and crop my laptop's webcam video to give my background more privacy without the default synthetic backgrounds available in most video collaboration products. Folding took a little practice. This is very similar to the folding sun visors on the windshield. It's just weird and uncomfortable to wear on the back of an office chair.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old
