Webcams

We highly recommend using a separate webcam and not using your laptop's built-in webcam.

Our Favorites

• Logitech Brio ($125-$200) - Highest image quality without using a DSLR/mirrorless. Wide 90° view, 60 fps, HDR, 4K.

• Logitech StreamCam ($140-$150) - Unique form factor is ideal for handholding. 60 fps (MJPEG only).

• Note: Auto-exposure seemed overly sensitive

• Logitech C922 ($80-$110) - Slightly sharper and better colors than C920. Supports 60 fps (720p only).

• Logitech C920 ($70) - Good quality except in low light.

Other Webcams (untested by us but good reviews)

• Razer Kiyo Pro ($100-$130) - HDR (high dynamic range) support. 60 fps (not with HDR enabled).

• Razer Kiyo ($70-$100) - Some reviews prefer this to similar priced C920.

• Logitech C930e ($75-$130) - Essentially a C920 with a wider 90-degree field of view (same as Brio) and better built-in microphone.

• Logitech C925e ($70-$100) - Business version of C920

• Logitech BCC950 ($185-$299) - Large conference pan & tilt webcam with remote.

Video Cameras

Modern webcams are excellent and models no longer need to connect a traditional video camera to get a good video stream.

Lighting

The most important part of looking good on camera, and having a good quality picture with vibrant colors, is actually not the type of webcam you use but the Lighting.
