Top Webcams 2023

The Logitech Brio 4K Pro Webcam delivers impressive video with cutting-edge features. It’s not for everybody, but it’s recommended if you’re in any situation where video quality counts.

The Logitech Group video-conference system is well-designed, affordable, and delivers clear audio and images, making it a strong alternative to expensive enterprise-focused options.

YouTube Gaming makes it a breeze to find and watch an endless supply of gaming live streams and videos, as well as broadcast your own, whether it's from your desktop or your Android device.

Logitech's c930e delivers sharp 1080p video chats and smooth recorded audio with effective noise cancellation, making it our top webcam choice.

In this high definition era, where hardware from consoles to monitors and entertainment from games to films is in HD, one area that’s been consistently lagging behind has been the humble webcam. Partially, this is because of the limited Internet connection bandwidth to which many people are still subjected, and partially it’s the fault of limited ‘chat’ software support. Mainly, though, it’s because many people just don’t care – especially since HD can highlight your less favourable features or those bags under your eyes. However, if you’re happy with how you look and are ready to go all-out HD, Microsoft’s LifeCam Cinema, which claims to offer smooth 720p video at up to 30fps, might be just the thing.

The Elgato Facecam is an ambitious webcam that has no microphone, but offers the unique benefit of manual exposure control. You'll need to take time to set up good studio lighting for the best results.

The Logitech Brio 500 is a 1080p webcam that proves there’s more to image quality than just resolution — but it’s still a little pricey.

The Movo WebMic HD Pro impresses by packing both an above-average camera sensor and the best microphone I’ve seen on a webcam yet. But its unusual shape means it’s difficult to mount and is best used with a boom arm, hurting it’s all-in-one promise.

The Razer Kiyo webcam offers an excellent 1080p picture with a built-in ring light, but for best results it should to be paired with a separate microphone.

Jabra's PanaCast 20 webcam is equally adept at handling video calls for just one person or an entire conference room, but you can get stronger audio and picture quality from more affordable models.
