Looking for Webcam suggestions

[AppleB]

Currently I’m running a M1 Mac Mini. I need to start doing online meetings via Zoom. Can anyone suggest a decent webcam. Thanks in advance.

I like this one from Logitech.

I found the cheapest to be at Target, of all places. But definitely check the usual suspects, like BH Photo, Amazon, etc.

You might also consider using your cell phone as a webcam via Camo. Outstanding video quality, better than any conventional webcam I can think of. The "Pro" version does require a subscription, but I believe it's money very well spent. The free version limits you to 720p. I have rarely been more satisfied with a software solution.

Thanks I’ll look into it.

For using the iPhone there's also Webcam Plus:

iPhone as a webcam for Mac | Webcam Plus

Easy to use and completely free! Use your iPhone as a 4K 2160p webcam for your Mac. Compatible with apps like Chrome, Brave, Zoom, Edge, and OBS.

Although if you'll be in meetings regularly you should get a real webcam.

I tried using epochcam with my iPad, but I didn't like how it forces a full screen view of yourself (and it also stopped me being able to use my iPad during calls)

So, I bought a Logitech C922 Pro HD stream webcam (I think its the same as the 920, but comes with a little tripod which I found a much better solution than putting the camera on top of the monitor).

I'm really happy with it 🙂

I have had a great experience with my Logitech StreamCam Plus Webcam. I have used it to make videos for YouTube and I have used it on Zoom calls. If you want to upgrade to 4K, Logitech also has the 4K Pro Webcam. Logitech seems to be the most trusted brand in this space.

Is there a difference between the 4K Pro and the Brio webcam? It seems to be a renamed version of the Brio.
