The USB cables we get with this or any new device are ridiculously short for such usage, they are only for xferring data imho.

Will the Action 3 work as a webcam with a 1m or better 2m USB C cable ?

Use case: Make video of a non-digital slide presentation while connected to Zoom via webcam on M1 Mac.

So will it work or should I save that money and find another way ? The clincher is to send live to Zoom so stand-alone camera is a no-go (unless someone knows better).

The length of cable should be no problem, but would not go above 3 meter.

Thank you :-)

Hi there. Thanks for reaching out. Theoretically, there is no limit to the length of the cable connecting to the PC and Osmo Action 3 when used as a Webcam. Should you have further concerns, please reach back here at DJI Forum. Thank you, and have a nice day.

As you stopped by I am able to place a long enough cable that I made  there is a set limit longer it goes the more breakup will get and failure
