Yes, you can use your Sony HDR-CX160 as a webcam for zoom meetings. You will need to set up the camera and connect it to your computer using the USB cable that came with the camera.

How do I use my Sony HDR as a webcam?

Connect the supplied USB cable to the camcorder and computer. Turn on the camcorder by moving the POWER switch to the CAMERA position. In the camcorder menu, set the USB STREAMING option to ON. On the computer, start the webcam software.

Can I use Sony Action Cam as webcam?

Yes, it is possible to use a Sony FDR-X1000 action cam as a webcam through the micro HDMI output (not the micro USB). You will need (1) a micro HDMI to Standard HDMI Cable and (2) a UVC or USB Video Class Converter Device available in the market for $60-$80 for MAC or PC.
