    It’s a very decent webcam, yes - I’m using an earlier model of it as part of my work setup and its quality is just fine.

    The problem you've got is actually getting hold of one at the moment. Stuff like decent webcams, printers etc are like unicorn poop at the moment.

    Is it possible to use the above camera as a webcam? If so, how do I go about doing it. The only reason, I want a very good webcam, I realise some people use normal cameras as webcams.

    Thanks

    Do they, or do they just use "normal" cameras to make videos which they then go on to stream?

    You just can't use any regular camera as a webcam.  Some may allow it with the right software.  You would have to investigate whether a particular model could be.  Most regular cameras can't be used as webcams.
