OOS.
Good deal if you can snag one.

They have been showing up sporadically for online order throughout the day. Once you have one in the cart you have to act fast as I had a few disappear before I could complete the checkout process.

Was going to say this is cold cold (because this webcam or several of its various iterations go on sale annually for ~69.99 -- and this is a several year old camera that Logitech has simply added a cover to), but then I looked on Amazon on saw that basically all webcams are out of stock. Wow!

You're going to get downvoted since it is OOS but I just managed to snag one. Couldn't bring myself to pay $150+ for the higher end models I can still find available. So thanks!

back in stock right now

Everywhere in fact - Best Buy, Staples, Source, Grand & Toy, Dell... Everyone wanting to stay in touch with family & friends, online school, work colleagues, etc... They are up there with Toilet Paper on the hot list

Grabbed one! Just the fact that I was able to snag one gets you an upvote from me. Spent a week looking for a webcam.

What a weird thing to sell out. Do that many people have a desktop, but not a phone, laptop, or tablet? I know I have more tech than the average person, but there are six or seven things in my office I could use for video calling.

It can be a bit more professional to use one of these vs the cam on a laptop on your phone.

Also can be a bit outside of people's knowhow to set up their phone to use as a cam for their desktop

Most of the builtin ones I have look pretty crappy - especially in low light. My wife started teaching her music lessons online so needed something better.

The quality on these is much higher than most built-in webcams, it's brighter and sharper. As well, it's wide angle, so you can easily fit two people. Finally, the microphone quality is very good. I used to have to use a headset with mic so people could hear me, not anymore.

And most of the newer WebCams have built-in Encoding so the PC's CPU doesn't have to do it.

I have a decent Intel I7 with 16G of RAM and I struggle with WebEx, Skype for Business and other services when I use Video, Audio and Screen Share at the same time. (This is specially challenging over work VPN) For that reason I use an Off Board Camera (Logitech C920-C) and avoid SOFTPHONES, so for my meetings I use my Mobile Phone and I call in or have the meeting call my Phone.

Ahh, that makes sense. Just having something you can adjust independently from the screen would help with that. I was thinking people were buying them to talk to their family or attend an online meeting.

Thanks for posting. I bought one of these at the unfortunate price of $99.99 last week (my desktop is much better suited to working from home than my laptop), just sent a price match request.

If anyone needs one but can't fine one you can your your cellphone via multiple apps (like droidcam) to connect it to your pc.

1080p in 2020? Come on logitech...

I tried DroidCam and a few other apps first but couldn't get around the lag. I need it to be professional.

Most web conferencing platforms only do 720p
