I have and use that exact camera. It works perfectly fine, but may need some tuning in windows settings since it's naturally quite wide angle, even on the narrow setting. I had some issues with Razer software, but it's been a while. There's probably better options out there, but it works.

if you can find a deal on one, razer kiyo pro or razer kiyo pro ultra. plug and play, works super well with OBS. Razer software can be annoying but you can uninstall that if you want.

I use a Logitec C920 and a Razer Kiyo Pro for my streams. I use the Kiyo for my face cam because it's a sharper webcam than the c920. Though with my weak PC I have to scale it down a bit because if you have the processor power to drive it, it'll take it. Both are modestly priced cameras.

I can run the Kiyo Pro at full speed, but if I do much else it causes it to get a bit laggy. However I have a mid range computer with a really old GPU. Fully driven the Kiyo Pro is probably the cleanest mid-tier webcam I've seen. 1080p@60fps is looks sharp as hell.

I'm using a Razer Kiyo Pro. Other than dropping it down to 24 frames per second because my poor-man's PC won't properly drive it, it's mostly at default settings. I of course turn off auto-focus since I never move outside a static focusable range. At those settings my Kiyo looks crisp and clean. Though I have my image sized down to a small square on my screen and never use it at my full 1080 broadcast/recording.

I have a razer kiyo pro with nvidia broadcast. it works pretty well and the price is fair.

there‘s actually a huge difference between 1080p and 4k, even if it‘s just for a small camera. ever since i switched to the facecam 4k, i‘d definitely not switch back. just more details, more you can do with it. i highly recommend the cam. i used a razer kiyo pro before but it‘s night and day what you can do with the facecam

I use razer kiyo pro, with decent lighting it’s a great cam! It has auto focus and you can adjust its settings like brightness, contrast, saturation, white balance, zoom etc. Lighting is imperative for a webcam to reach its proper potential though so make sure you have budget for that as well!

I use the Razer Kiyo pro, I looked on Facebook marketplace for a secondhand webcam rather than spend money on a brand new one with bells and whistles and honestly I’d recommend when starting out to try find secondhand stuff. I used the money i saved on some decent lighting (again not super expensive but a budget friendly option which has really elevated the stream!) I think get yourself some secondhand starter bits and try to work on the most important part which is getting used to streaming regularly! No good spending a ton of money only to find it’s a dropped habit in 2 months. Funnily enough I got my webcam super cheap because the person selling it wanted to be a streamer and gave up 3 days later 😅

I have a mirrorless, but that’s only because I also do photography as a hobby. Something like an OBSbot or Link 2c would look just fine with proper lighting. If you wanted to go a step up, the Kiyo Pro 4k or Elgato Facecam pro have bigger sensors. But for a mirrorless camera, plus the lens, you’re talking close to $800. In worse lighting, a mirrorless or DLSR with a good lens will objectively look better because the sensor is bigger which allows it to capture more light. But unless you’re making money from streaming, a decent 4k webcam with good lighting is just fine. Way too many people put way too much stock into their camera. Focus on your audio and lighting first. Once you have those squared away, then think about getting a mirrorless camera and lens. But don’t let anyone tell you that you need to get one just to have good video.
