I noticed your focus on reducing power consumption through battery operation with USB. Your response about testing via OBS helped me understand the setup better. Since I’m the IT specialist here, I usually try solutions ahead of time. For this case, I rely on OBS for quick camera checks and it often avoids some problems with native camera setups like zoom or Teams integration. The laptop screen you mentioned is a 13.3" 1366 x 768 VA display. I suggested starting at 720P and increasing from there.

Sure, I understand. It seems I got a bit mixed up at first, but using OBS for testing makes sense now.

Running at 4K is possible. The app can reduce it, but not all apps support that feature. I checked on my home PC and webcam software, which don’t allow lowering resolution.

It's operating smoothly at 1920x1080 resolution after a brief inspection!

I’m considering updating the software on the work computer first and then checking if IT can install OBS for further troubleshooting. I’ve noticed that some recent updates have caused issues with webcams on older laptops, possibly due to compatibility problems between newer Windows patches and older hardware.
