I have a C920 but that’s intricately connected to my home office setup. I have a spare Logitech C270, which I will try tonight and report back.

I literally just now got into the settings and tried it - it works

I didn’t notice any lag, but it’s also very difficult to notice in a game like Mario Kart World - you don’t really keep an eye on the camera when playing. My main criticism would be that image quality is not good, since this is a relatively older 720p camera. But again, I do not think that’s really important in practice; you are not using GameChat for a Zoom interview.

With that budget the best webcam to get is the Logitech C270. This has been our workhorse during pandemic and up until now gamit parin ng kids ko.. I have 3 of these. For the price, you really can’t go wrong — it’s simple, durable, has good video quality, and comes with a very good built-in mic that picks up voice clearly.

If you are fine with 720p streaming then, C270. Sadly there are no privacy shutter options.

Logitech C270 HD is plenty to start with

I've been using a C270 for about 4 years. The image quality is fine. You don't need to look like an Insta model on work calls, and besides, what you see locally as "good quality" is almost certainly being compressed and degraded significantly when it's sent over the internet to everyone else. 720p is more than enough.

Hey buddy, Logitech c270 is a good webcam. And bm800 is a cheap but good mic. And Audio Technica AT2020 is a very good mic. But both of them need an audio interface.

Yes to this. Much simpler and more documentation
