Forgot to mention, the 920s has a plastic privacy cover, that you can use to cover the camera when you aren't using it.  The 922 does not have this feature.  They mount on top of your monitor or on a tripod (standard mount).

I have both the C922 Pro and the C920S.  The C922 is basically the C920S, but it also comes with a mini tripod and updated firmware that allows it to stream at 60 fbs as opposed to 30 fbs at 720p.   Price difference is $70 vs $100 if you pay retail - which right now they are in high demand so you'll probably have to pay retail.  But yeah, plug and play, both have a mic built in.  Stick it in the USB port and it will automatically register as the default camera with skype business, teams, webex, etc.

Or you can always get a new monitor with a webcam built in...

The 922 Pro is in stock at best buy, or at least it was when I posted my comment and also when I bought it last month, not sure if that has changed. 

Yeah, when we got the 920s pre-pandemic it was only $50 bucks.  Now if you can even find it in stock it's retail $69.  That's how I ended up having to buy the more expensive model (922) when I needed another one; it was the only version left in stock at bestbuy.

That makes sense to look for that in a laptop but it really limits your options with desktop monitors.
