Hi Rosinda, if 720p is OK, I use one of these...

You may have already considered the following but some deaf people use Video Conferencing for sign-language calls - even on iPhones. Potentially lip-reading is also possible.

With regards to the original query mentioning USB2. Yes the classic Mac Pro models only have USB2 and newer higher resolution cameras - certainly 4K ones would consider USB2 to be inadequate although I would expect 1080p to work. However it is possible to fit a USB3.0 and even a USB3.1 card in to the classic Mac Pro. This would give you 5Gbps or even 10GBps speed which is current state of the art for USB.

And do you have any recommendations for a specific model webcam that I can work with? Thanks!

I use the following.

However I am not able to say this is the best or worst.

Come to think of it, I don't use it for Web Cam, but Security!

I'll see if I can figure out Zoom... sorry.

Works fine in FaceTime.

Decided not to go through installing Zoom, sorry, here's Facetime shot. sorry for the glare..

This web site seems like just what you are looking for, ... but

This guy gets paid if you buy something they recommend off Amazon, so Buyer Beware.
