  1. richard clarkson I don't know about the c615 but I upgraded from a c525 to a c920 and it made a world of difference.

  3. richard clarkson I am in agreement with John Brown on this one.  Any webcam that zooms is a great start.

  4. Michael Daniels John Brown Thank you for the info. i'm planning on getting the 920 as it's supposed to be alot better than the 615 in that respect. the 615 is as good for just videoing or pictures.
    from what i've seen, the mic isn't very good on the 920 but may be fine for hangouts. I'd like an opinion on that.

  5. I cannot answer since I use an external USB condenser mic or ear buds.  I do not want a lot of surrounding sounds

  6. Michael Daniels     I use the ear buds that came with my cell phone. I don't have an external mic.

  7. Michael Daniels As i understand it from other posts, there are ear buds that have a mic in them. I might get one of those. If i do, how do i turn off the mic in the c920? or does the ear buds with mic cancel out the mic in the 920? there isn't anything i've seen in hangouts that lets you pic different things like mic or camera etc.

  8. At the top of the hangout where you hangout up there is a cog wheel or gear wheel.  You can change the mic there.  If you plug in your ear buds they become the default mic.  Most cell phone ear buds are both Mic/Headset. So they should work as both.  You can usually tell because there are 3 black rings on the metal part of the connector.

  9. John Skeats mine has 3 white rings on it so it may not have the mic capability. i'll have to check it out

  10. white or black, the main thing is it is 3 rings. One ring for mic 2nd ring for right side channel listening and 3rd ring for other side channel.

  12. John Brown I've been told my webcam would be great if i had faster speeds. I'm checking into speeds on monday. The mic on my webcam works really good and has noise suppression and people i've talked to say it's fine.

  14. Thank you Sandy Barnett I found out my speed is pretty low so the camera isn't working as good as it could. i'm going to call my isp tomorrow and see about getting it raised up. It's not horrible now but i want it better !!!!
