During the 2020 safer at home order, a lot of people have been purchasing web cams and recording hardware, leaving many suppliers out of stock or back ordered until July 2020. I have been tracking availability and noticed Best Buy has been getting shipments in recently, and back-ordered products ship in a week.
After researching what is listed on websites, I noticed the Web cams model number meant nothing as far as the year that model was released. Most were from 2016/2017 era, and only was was from 2020.

At that point, unless I wanted the $70 best buy cam from 2020, I thought it was best to look up Logitech 2020 latest reviews.

I finally found the Logitech Steamcam from 2020 for $169 and is in stock on the Logitech website:

Hoping this will make my Microsoft Teams streaming a bit better.
