Autofocus: We considered only those models that support autofocus.Some high-end cameras support 720p video at 60 frames per second, which makes for smoother video but isn’t necessary for most people who just want to look better in video calls. Resolution and frame rate: We favored cameras that support at least full high-definition video (1920×1080, or 1080p resolution) at 30 fps, which is useful for the streaming apps that support it and for video recorded locally.But that certification is unnecessary for most top webcams today to work with those programs. Some other webcams that cost more are “designed for business,” meaning mostly that they’re certified to work with Skype and other video software.

Webcams over $100 often offer a larger field of view-90 degrees versus 70 to 80 degrees-which is helpful if you want to show more of the room, such as a conference table with many participants. Even professional streamers or YouTubers with more demanding requirements don’t need to spend over $100. Price: A webcam with great video quality doesn’t have to cost much.
