I got the [Logitech Brio 300](https://www.logitech.com/en-us/shop/p/brio-300-webcam.960-001447). It’s affordable ($50-60), and it has good picture quality and a privacy shutter.
I use the Logitech Brio 300 and I like it :) its around $70 on Amazon at the moment.
it can stand on its own or clip to the monitor, the leg design gives lots adjustable height and angle options. It has a flip cover for privacy and there's a large yellow light that comes on whenever the camera or mic is being accessed.
It's small, which was important to me. My cats would have snapped one of those large rectangle ones off my monitor in a week max lol. This one is circular and very sturdy if you're someone who drops things a lot or needs space on your desk. It still takes in a good amount of light and gives off a clear image despite its size.
It comes in black, white and pink so maybe you can even select an option that matches your stuff! I have a couple of twitch VODs using the brio so if you'd like to check the quality I can take a screenshot and add an imgur link to the comments.
At $100 the Logitech C920s and Logitech Brio 300 are the two worth looking at.
C920s = 1080p, solid autofocus, works great on any lighting. Been the standard recommendation for years for good reason.
Brio 300 = newer, slightly better low-light performance, more compact. Worth the few extra dollars if you're on video calls in a dimly lit room.
Skip anything under $50 - the autofocus is usually terrible and you end up looking blurry whenever you move.
Absolutely. Get started with what you can afford. The c920 is a very common one that people start with. I have the 1080p version of the Brio and I think it’s a pretty nice picture
