Top 5 Best Webcams in 2021: For Video Calling & Streaming

These are our picks for the top 5 best webcams in 2021, with microphones made especially for HD video conferencing, teams meetings, streaming video games, zoom meetings, online classes, etc.

Since the Pandemic hit last year, most companies have opted for the Work from Home for their employees. Due to this work model, we have seen a record rise in purchasing electronic items like Desktops, laptops, and accessories in general. Not only that, since schools and colleges have closed their doors to the students, the school classrooms have been shifted to online video classrooms. Because of that, we have also seen a huge surge in demand for webcams. Webcams now are a mandate for any conference calling, video calling, online classes.

Before the Pandemic, good high-quality webcams were only purchased by online game streamers and maybe in some working scenarios. But since the Coronavirus pandemic hit, webcams became a necessity. We have also seen a huge price surge last year because of the global Webcam shortage. Since there was also a great demand for high-end webcams, brands like Anker, Razer also had their share of high-end 1080p webcams for Game Streaming and Video Conferencing, which made it to our top 5 best cams in 2021 list!

So let’s check out the Top 5 Best Webcams in 2021 with a microphone for Video Calling, Game Streaming, Podcasting, and attending Video conferences using Microsoft Teams or Zoom Meetings.

Best Webcams in 2021: Microsoft Life Cam Studio ($79.95)

The Microsoft Life Cam Studio is a high-quality 720P webcam that features a very high fidelity microphone and incorporates the Microsoft True Color Technology. The glass element lens improves the overall image quality and brightness, and the Microsoft True Color Technology processes the image to provide much better color accuracy and depth. The Microsoft Life Cam Studio doesn’t feature any zoom features. The Webcam also lacks any physical buttons and internal storage, which is perfectly fine because this webcam is for computers or laptops. It will use a USB interface to connect to power this webcam. It will fit on your laptops and desktop with the anchors provided. Although the fitting can be a bit more rigid, the Tripod compatibility makes up for it. The Life Cam Studio is the best as it is the cheapest and budget-oriented HD quality webcam from this list in 2021.

Best Webcams in 2021: Anker PowerConf C300 ($99.99)

Anker recently jumped onto the video conferencing and game streaming market with their new high-quality 720p Webcam called the Anker PowerConf C300. This is an AI-powered 1080p webcam that can capture 60fps video. It can also capture 720p and 360p. One really cool thing about this camera is its 115-degree lens. These lenses give us a very wide view experience against the most webcams we see cant capture beyond 80 degrees. It is mainly suited to webcam for teams meetings, video conferences, Zoom Video Call Meetings, and even online classes. This webcam uses a USB C to USB C cable with an adapter for USB C to USB A for connectivity. The Anker software provided can help fix the frame rates, the fixed digital zoom, and the color balance. Surprisingly the picture quality is excellent, achieving a 1080p level of detail. It is also good for low lighting conditions. The built-in dual microphone is perfect, and it captures a great deal of detail, but the audio produced is a little bit on the bass side. It is one of the best webcams in 2021 for Group team meetings or Group Video Conferences. Although we do not suggest, you do Game Streams with this webcam.

Best Webcams in 2021: Logitech C922x Pro Stream ($99.99)

One of the best webcams in 2021, the Logitech C922X Pro stream offers exceptional sound and video quality. It also comes equipped with a tripod and as well as a three-month XSplit Premium License. This is a 1080p Webcam that shoots at 30FPS. It can also shoot 720p video at 60FPS. It also has a pair of microphones for excellent voice and sound quality. The autofocus on the Logitech C922X Pro Stream webcam can focus while adjusting to different light settings. There is no motion blur, and the quality is crystal clear. It has a 78-degree wide-angle lens, unlike the Anker C300, which had a 115-degree wide-angle lens. The reasonable value and fantastic build and sound quality make it more appealing for Game Streamers. Most Video Game streams use the Logitech C922X Pro Stream Webcam for their daily Streams. However, it can also be used very effectively for video conferencing, team meetings, and zoom calls. The tripod provided along with the Webcam is sturdy, and the webcam sits comfortably on the tripod without a hitch.

Best Webcams in 2021: Logitech BRIO UltraHD Webcam ($173.99)

Logitech has a reputation for making one of the best Webcams in the market, and the BRIO UltraHD Webcam is no exception. The Logitech Brio C1000E Webcam features a 4K video recording capability, i.e., the webcam can shoot 2160p footage at 30FPS, 1080p at 60FPS, and 720p at 90FPS. This webcam also supports HDR. The dual microphones also offer excellent audio, which is the best for Business Video Conferencing or Business Team meetings. Creators using this Webcam can use the Logitech Capture software to adjust the camera settings and create 4K footage directly streamed onto Youtube. However, we would like to mention that the clip can feel a little loose, and we don’t like the Privacy cover. The BRIO UltraHD Webcam is really costly, and one should only invest if you want to have the best quality Video Conferencing call or Teams meetings. This is also considered one of the best webcams for Macbook.

Best Webcams in 2021: Razer Kiyo PRO Webcam ($179.99)

The Razer Kiyo Pro Webcam features a 2.1-megapixel camera that can shoot at 1080p 60FPS or 1080p HDR at 30FPS. The picture quality is really good for the 1080p resolution, and it also features an adaptive light sensor which helps determine how dark or bright the image is or should be. The audio quality on the Razer Kiyo Pro is good with noise cancellation. However, the noise cancellation can be a bit too much at times. The picture quality balances the colors and the contrast really well, and it provides excellent details at 1080p. The HDR functionality also enhances the video streaming quality. The Razer Kiyo Pro Webcam is mainly for Game Streamers and Content Creators. Considering the price of the Webcam, it is priced higher than the Logitech Brio, which offers 4K HDR and Windows Hello capabilities against the Razer Kiyo Pro, which is a 1080p HDR shooter.
