“Does the camera focus mainly on the user (narrow angle) or is it more of a wide angle lens. I am looking for a webcam that does NOT provide a wide angle view of my home office/family room while I am on a zoom business call.”

I don't know how to answer your question directly because I'm not sure what is considered wide angle. But I did just go on Zoom and I measured what I see in back of me. I see my face in the center but I can see approximately 68 inches across the background of my kitchen behind me. So almost 3 feet to the left and almost 3 feet to the right of the center of the screen. There may be some way to adjust that -- if you go to the Logitech website you could ask them and if the answer is you can't adjust it then you could ask them which of their webcams has the narrow angle that you want. Here is another idea--Have you tried using the virtual background feature of Zoom? Go to Settings and under that is Virtual Background. There you will see 7 fake backgrounds that you can use for free. (You can also add a picture of your own but I don't know how to do that.) I can't use it because although I have a good processor (Intel i7) I have only a 3rd generation chip and for i7 you need a 6th generation or better (or 4th generation if you have a green screen) in order to use the Virtual Background feature. If you don't know if your computer can handle it, just click on one of the 7 Virtual Background and either it will look great or you will see pixels all over and it won't work and you just go back to your plan screen. Hope this helps.
