[SOLVED] Can I connect the Logitech Streamcam (webcam) into my PC without USB C?

[Austinomical]

I have USB 3.0 and HDMI, but no USB C. What adapter do I need? Thanks!

From Logitech's FAQ:

What if I do not have a USB-C port on my computer?

There are adaptors available that enable you to connect StreamCam’s USB-C cable into your USB-A port. These adaptors can be found by searching at your preferred retailer with the following keywords: USB-C female to USB-A 3.0.

It also says that the requirements are a 7th generation intel i5. I have the 4th gen Haswell. Would that not work? I have never owned a webcam, sorry for the questions haha

Those adapters say that It will not register sound/video though

Yes, the manufacturers web page claims those are the requirements to use the product. Since your PC doesn't fulfill the requirements, you shouldn't buy it, regardless any adapters.

The requirements seem really high for a webcam, even a 1080 one at 60 frames. If it was not so expensive I'd say to just get it and see how it works. 30 frames at 1080 will be smooth also, maybe one of the 920 or 930 models will work for you.

I do have an additional question, which was hinted at above but not addressed... I can find “USB-C female to USB-A 3.1 male adapters” on Amazon, but the disclaimer says they will not work with video or audio, Yet some people are reporting success with adapters. Is the disclaimer for running a monitor, versus using with a webcam? Is there anything other than the specs quoted above that I should be looking for?

Thanks in advance for any help provided...

If you are talking about use with a webcam, the adapters will work fine.
