This camera can also be physically rotated to record vertical video for even more flexibility.

What to consider in a Logitech webcam

Before you make your choice, I'd like to offer some advice.

While there are abundant options of competent Logitech cameras, the best webcam for you will depend on several factors.

One of the most important is your goals and purpose.

Will you use the web camera to attend or hold weekly conferences?

Will you stream daily to a sizeable audience?

For a working camera, 1080p is quite often decent enough since Zoom or Microsoft Teams doesn't support 4K resolution. You likely don't need a wide-angle lens either, unless you need to be several presenters in the same frame.

For professional streaming, you should aim for better specs in resolution, frame rates, and potentially the in-built microphone. You can also focus purely on video quality and get the camera accessories like mics and lighting separately.

Understanding how your goals affect your desired features can ensure that you get your money's worth but don't overinvest into a model that you won't even be able to use.

Alternatively, you can try renting a camera to test it out before making a bigger commitment.

The price will obviously affect your choice as well.

Logitech cameras come in all shapes and sizes, suited for just about any budget. It's just a matter of figuring out your priorities.
