Is there a simple way to use my iPhone as a webcam connected to my Mac Mini for Skype and Zoom? Google is not being helpful.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Hey. New board.
Cursory googling says no. The Android equivalent exists but uses an interface that iPhones don't provide.
Is there any reason you can't just use Skype / zoom directly on the phone? I almost always do that unless I'm hosting.

I can, I'd just rather have a larger screen, especially for Zoom.

I decided a good project would be to rip all the CDs I got from Dad so I can actually listen to them.
Does anyone have any recommendations for PC-compatible (Windows 10) software to rip CDs?

I've always just used iTunes on Windows to rip CDs. But the people who are way more knowledgeable than I am about sound software may have much more informed opinions than I do!
Me, I need some kind of microphone so that I can use my desktop (Windows) for interactive Zoom. I can always use my laptop (Mac) with the built-in, but the desktop has a huge screen and I can sit up and look more (OK, a little) professional.
What mic setup would be OK for Windows? Should I just get a cheap gamer's headset. It doesn't have to be Bluetooth, though I suppose if it was I could then you some kind of ear clippy thing with my Android phone...
sigh. technology.

We have a several years old $30 logitech headset with mic and it works fine for meetings. USB.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I used Fairstars CD Ripper when I ripped all of my CDs some years ago. It worked fine, and looks up the titles and such for you. Freeware.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I also use a headset with a microphone.

I have a cheap wired gaming headset for video conferencing - it's more comfortable to wear for long periods of time than my earbuds, and the mic works better. The one thing I wish I'd looked more closely at is the weight, because after a couple of hours they do start to feel pretty heavy on the top of my head.

I use a gaming headset, too. It's comfortable, and mine is pretty light.
