Advantages of the webcam:
1. Decent for basic video calls 720p HD resolution is adequate for Zoom/Teams/Meet calls, especially when lighting is good. Works reliably with most conferencing apps. 2. Integrated & always available No need for external setup — ready for use anytime. Built-in dual array digital microphones (in many variants) help capture voice without a separate mic. 3. Good coverage / field of view The True Vision webcam typically provides a broad enough view to include your face comfortably without cropping. Some tests note this as a positive.
Disadvantages of the webcam:
1. Limited image quality 720p HD is lower resolution compared with 1080p webcams — details can look soft or grainy. Integrated webcams usually struggle in low light and can appear noisy or washed out. This is common with laptop webcams. 2. Low frame rate Typical frame rates are modest (often around ~15 FPS), so motion may look choppy compared with 30 FPS cameras. 3. Lighting dependency Quality drops significantly in dim rooms — you’ll see more noise and reduced clarity unless you have good lighting. 4. Not ideal for content creation For streaming, recording high-quality video, YouTube, or professional use, this webcam won’t match dedicated USB webcams.
