I am considering purchasing this webcam:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Stream...B07W4DHNBF
It only includes a USB-C cable. My device only has USB-A 3.0 ports.
Can you find a USB-C to USB-A adapter that can manage video from this webcam? Many items I see on Amazon say it's not suitable for video transmission.

As long as you connect via a USB-A port with a cable supporting USB 3.2 or 3.2 gen 2x2, compatibility should be ensured. USB 3.0/3.1 should also function, since the USB 3.0 standard is designed for both compressed and uncompressed video formats. Remember, "USB-C" refers only to the connector design, not its performance or standards.

It's quite intriguing about USB-C, thank you for letting me know its significance in that situation.

Yes, if they really are. I recommend using premium cables and adapters from brands such as Tripp Lite, Anker, Eaton, Leviton, and for more affordable options, Cable Matters works, though it doesn’t match the quality of the others. Remember that just because a product claims compliance with a standard doesn’t guarantee it actually does. Many Chinese-made items on Amazon, Newegg, and Ebay fall well short of acceptable standards.

I'll watch for those brands and aim to secure the trustworthy ones, as you suggested. The Chinese ones often fail to work properly and may have poor quality, right? Thanks a lot for your assistance!
