Two Use-cases:

1. As webcam connected to laptop/Zoom but recording a non-digital presentation taking place indoors on a screen with a present small audience
- any recommendations or suggestions ? Can the settings when used as a webcam be configured ?


2. Same scenario but camera stand-alone, - i.e. in a normal size room with a small audience - presentaiton screen is say 15 or 20 feet from the camera, choice of lights out on the audience (lights on the speaker/screen) or all room lights on.  Best settings please.

I'm a newbie as yet.

Hi, Andy. Thank you for reaching out. Using the Osmo Action 3 as a webcam on M1 Mac with Zoom software has not been tested yet but please feel free to try it. In addition, here are the computer models that have been tested to be working fine with Photo Booth (macOS system built-in software):
1) MacBook Pro 2015 System 11.3
2) MacBook Pro 2017 System 10.15.7
3) MacBook Pro 2019 System 10.15.7
4) MacBook Pro M1 2020 System 11.2.3
For your second question, your own settings preference would be the best settings so we suggest to try to use it first in the same environment before the actual event for you to see the best settings to your liking. We hope other users can provide their suggestions about this.
