I am looking for a recommendation on a camera with microphone for my 2012 Mac Mini. Nothing fancy, something just web meetings/Factime. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

Your best bet would be the least expensive or second cheapest Logitech webcam.
Unfortunately, they have been sold out for weeks due to shelter-in-place/lockdown orders. You're not going to find one today or tomorrow.
My guess is Logitech and their competitors are cranking up production but it might be a while before you see one in a store (online or bricks-and-mortar).
As COVID-19 lockdowns are eased, we'll probably start seeing a bunch of "lightly use"/"like new" webcams on eBay/Craigslist/etc. that would be ideal for your situation provided the first wave of sellers aren't gouging on price.

You get better image quality and audio than a cheap webcam by using FaceTime on your iphone and just putting it in a gorillapod or something similar. You can still output the audio to your computer or any airplay speaker.
If you’re going to get a high end Logitech Brio Ok that’s different and worth adding to the Mac mini.
Or just buy a used webcam.
