Logitech Brio 4K

I have Camo and used to use it that way. And latest MacOS has it more or less "built in" (mostly less, but it's there). I like a couple different magsafe "Continuity Cam" mounts for the last couple versions of iPhone + iOS: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B722VBX1/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B5S7X6BN/ But, seconding PlexiCam. The L clamps' cutout works with most any screw-in tripod mount. If you get the PlexiCam Road Warrior Mini, you get two clamps and a miniature battery pack fill light: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C164VQ43/ I find these work well with Logi Brio 4K + Xsplit Vcam, or, with Lumina which has all the autoframing and soft bokeh you could want (far better than what's built into most web conf platforms): https://www.logitech.com/en-us/products/webcams/brio-4k-hdr-... https://www.xsplit.com/vcam https://getlumina.com/ The other new thing to solve eye contact is Elgato's miniature teleprompter: https://www.elgato.com/us/en/p/prompter

Agreed. I’m running a Logitech Brio (4K) and while it’s not perfect it’s pretty decent to auto adjust for the lighting in most rooms.

I found that I never used a standing desk when I had one, and the health benefits are dubious. I bought a decent Microphone (jlab talk pro) and a $200 Webcam (Logitech brio 4k). Since all of my interactions are over Webcam I wanted to have something better than the default laptop Webcam. Also I do my work on a desktop I would also recommend building a PC. I run several docker containers at once and the company issued MacBook pro is very sluggish with this. I built my own PC with lots of ram and (what was at the time) a good cpu.

- Sit with a white wall right behind you. Clean, fresh, quality paint, like Dulux really seems different for some reason. Put the desk in the open facing out. No blurry backgrounds, green screen, bad background edges. While everyone's modifying you're just appearing clear and less reasons to be choppy. - Three 2K screens - 23 to 25" (2560x1440). 3 of these have more usable pixels than a 4K. I have used 3 monitors so long that breaking work into screen 1/2/3 becomes a quick and helpful thing. I don't always use the third but have told people if I'm having a 3 monitor day, to keep on sliding by. - MIC: I am heard better by sounding the clearest. I recently bought the best wired mic headset I could find. Steelseries Tusq for $50. Voice quality has been through the roof and close to the best, to the point that almost every call someone is asking me what I'm using. Won't cancel noise, but good otherwise. - SOUND DAC: Soundblaster G3 - Makes good sound even better. Optionally adds the ability to output to both headphones and speakers. Handier than I thought it would be. Also allows cleaning up your voice with a pre-set and outputting it through a "Creative Microphone". Works great. I had my eyes on a nicer one but don't see myself getting rid of this. - WEBCAM: Logitech Brio 4K - Clearest low maintenance 4k image wins. Lots of other options emerging, but this one whether I'm sitting in the dark, monitor bias lights or have my overhead light on adjusts quickly enough. I like th

Yeah when I went full remote I decided to buy both a 4k Webcam (at the time, for job interviews) and a microphone marketed for podcasts, and everybody likes both. I do find people commenting on the background of my apartment more often though lol I use a logitech brio 4k webcam (only 4k at certain resolutions) with a JLAB Talk Pro Omnidirectional microphone. I also started recording programming tutorial videos to justify the cost of the microphone

WFH since 2006 in 5 different houses (one with wheels), so I've had a bunch of different setups. Started on a desktop with triple monitors, but my sweet spot seems to be a 15" laptop with a 15" ASUS M168B USB monitor next to it. I don't actually need more than two monitors, and this setup travels super well in a backpack for use in hotel rooms and jobsites. I've had dedicated office space in and out of the house, and I've had corners of the bedroom. Any of the above were fine with me, but some people prefer having dedicated space for specific things. Nothing special about my desk or chair, but I did splurge on my Realforce Topre keyboard and Shure Aonic 50 headphones. Kensington Orbit trackball has been the easiest on my RSI, and fits great on my current desk's keyboard tray, where I wouldn't have room for a mouse. Logitech Brio 4K webcam. Teams and Zoom can both blur the background pretty well even without a green screen, but I have thought about adding some lighting. I have a USB mic for recording audio, but my headphones work fine for conferencing. My current experiment is adding a NUC with a third monitor for status dashboards so I can keep them visible at all times. Still tweaking the setup, but I think I like it.
