The best webcams allow you to look your sharpest on work video calls or streams.
Since the webcams that come built into laptops, all-in-one computers and other monitors rarely compete with a dedicated option, picking one up is the easiest way to improve the quality of your video.
To help you make the right choice for your needs, the Pocket-lint team has been testing some of the top webcams you can buy, with the options detailed below able to reach at least 720p HD, with some offering 1080p Full HD and even 4K Ultra HD.
This is a very crowded market, though. Since the specs lists of different models can sometimes look identical at first glance, it makes it hard to choose the right webcam for you. That’s why, as well as giving our quick verdicts on each of the tested options below, we’ve also included some things to consider before you buy.
We’ve whittled things down to give you only the very top webcams to consider, with something for every budget. Let’s explore them.
