SB webcam that just works on Q4OS – tired of OBS workarounds

Hi everyone,

Can anyone recommend a USB webcam with a built-in microphone that works reliably on Q4OS without needing extra drivers, tweaks, or OBS Studio workarounds?

I'm honestly getting tired of:

    the camera working one day and not the next,

    having to launch OBS just to make it appear in Teams or Zoom as a virtual camera,

    devices randomly disappearing or the microphone refusing to activate.

I'm looking for something USB, that:

    works plug & play on Linux,

    has a decent built-in mic (so I don’t need external audio gear),

    is UVC-compatible,

    and works well with Teams, Zoom, Google Meet (via browser).

Would really appreciate any proven models – ideally ones you're using yourselves on Linux and that just work.

You can expand your search to the Debian operating system. What works on Debian will work on Q4OS too.
