Question

Windows Hello - Face authentication - List of compatible webcams

Anonymous

Hi Microsoft Team,

I've been searching hours and hours on Microsoft websites and many internet Search Engines, for a list of compatible hardware with Windows Hello, specifically for Webcams in regards to Face Authentication.

Unfortunately all my trials were unsuccessful so far.

So would you please be so kind to redirect me to a non-exhaustive list of Windows Hello compatible hardware ?

Waiting for your reply, I thank you much in advance for your feedback and support.

Kind Regards,

David

Answer 1

Hi Cristhian,

Thanks for your answer.

Actually I already found that link but as I mentioned I would like to get a non-exhaustive list from Microsoft, instead of some websites' subjective preferences of the "Best webcams compatible wit Windows Hello" on the market.

My goal at the end, is to understand if the computers we have in our company - or the next ones we will brought - are "Windows Hello - Ready to use" or if we anyway must brought some additional hardware.

Kind Regards,

David

Answer 2

Hi Andre,

Thanks for your answer.

Based on Cristhian and your's feedback, I start feeling that I won't get an official list from Microsoft, which is a bit disappointing I must say.

As I mentioned to Cristhian, my goal is at the end, is to understand if the computers we have in our company - or the next ones we will brought - are "Windows Hello - Ready to use" or if we anyway must brought some additional hardware.

Indeed I can't always find on computers Manufacturer's website if their laptop is compatible with Windows Hello, this is why I'm hoping Microsoft would have that list, so I could compare with the integrated cameras built in our current laptop fleet.

Indeed, most of Manufacturers provide few spec details about their integrated cameras, which usually is only the resolution and that's it.

And considering Windows Hello is already 4 years old, I can't believe Manufacturers didn't adapt their integrated hardware in order to support Windows Hello.

Hoping I clarified a bit my original question (for you and future contributors :) ), I again you for your feedback.

Kind Regards,

David

Unfortunately, there isn't an exhaustive comprehensive list. Most sites will list their top three with a few alternatives, but there really isn't much outside of that. Amazon is a great place to search, but keep in mind, it will mixed in with other biometric hardware that supports Windows Hello.

If you are purchasing bulk, you have to contact the vendor to find out if that particular model supports Windows Hello or not and also what type of Windows Hello: Facial or Fingerprint. Its not gonna be easy, since some vendors tend to make a premium feature of certain configurations.
