It's impossible to recommend one or two perfect webcams for all users, because there are so many different ways to use webcams these days. Today's webcams range from standard HD (1080p) to 4K resolution and have increasingly larger lenses and sensors, and many feature impressive internal AI-powered tech that can do everything from improving low-light performance to tracking face and body movement. The good news is that the external webcam market also looks like it'll stick around - the pandemic spawned a slew of new webcams (and webcam makers) and spurred innovation. And while we're slowly returning to offices in the post-pandemic era, it looks like remote working is likely to stick around (at least part-time). But since the pandemic made remote working routine, the market for external webcams has exploded. They weren't good, but we didn't use them enough to care.

If you’re willing to shell out an extra $50 in favor of more biz-centric features, the C930e represents a significant upgrade to the C920, which is similarly capable of both 1080p and 720p at 30 frames per second but has a narrower 78-degree field of view.Pre-pandemic, webcams were mostly an afterthought - built into your laptop's bezel as a convenience, nothing more. Impressive, and useful for group presentations, no doubt. What’s more, those super-sensitive mics could pick up my voice from all the way across the apartment during testing, some callers said they could hear me clearly (albeit at a very low volume) from roughly 30 feet away. Logitech says the mics should capture crystal-clear audio from up to a meter away, but in my testing, I had to move roughly six feet from the mic before callers noticed any drop in clarity or volume. Whereas my Zoom room buddies said it sounded like I was in an echo-filled tunnel of some kind when using my laptop’s mic, the C930’s omnidirectional mics made a tremendous, immediate difference in sound quality. The Logitech C930e’s mic quality is, in a word, out-friggin-standing. Logitech C930e webcam review: Mic quality Video and audio results were similar in quality no matter what program or app I used the field of view was vastly expanded with the Logitech C930e, and images far more true-to-life. Indeed, when I switched over to the LG Gram’s webcam, it looked like I was using a grayscale filter in comparison, and there was an immediate drop in audio/video quality across the board.
