Best HD Webcam for Zoom

I am using a Logitech HD Wecam C270. It has a built-in microphone. I often use Zoom. However, this webcamera does not permit me to change my background in zoom. Does anyone recommend an affordable HD web camera that will allow me to do so? I have a budget of $100 CAN. ($75 US).

Webcam shouldn't have anything to do with you being able to use the function or not, the rest of the system does.

i don't think that is a problem with camera.

it's probably because you have a low end computer.

does it show the option for chroma key?

I am sorry to say webcams are very hard to come by for cheap

you could just buy a bed sheet and hang it behind you and keep your webcam

I have an Intel i7-3770 with 16 GB RAM, 1 480 GB SSD, 1 240 GB SSD, 1 TB WD HD, and Nvidia GT 1030. Where do I find information about a chroma key?!

Yup, too bad, the background removal needs minimum 4th gen...

 

With your system you need an actual green screen.

I found a solution. It seems to work now with virtual backgrounds. However video filters are not supported.
