Best Webcam 2022 | Some massive quality leaps

I test them in low light, good light, and up against a green screen. Side-by-sides with the newest webcams (plus the Brio 4K), the newest iPhone, and a mirrorless camera - two standouts this year. Webcam line-up and chapters below:

0:00 My 2 favorites
1:10 iPhone 13 Pro
2:27 Elgato Facecam
4:28 Dell UltraSharp 4K
5:46 Razer Kiyo Pro
7:15 Brio 4K
8:06 M50 Mark ii + Cam Link
8:56 Lighting set-up
10:10 Where have I been?
10:30 Outtakes

NOTE: I bought all the cameras in this video except for Facecam, which Elgato sent me (thanks Elgato!). Elgato didn't ask me to make this video and they have no idea what I will say about it (but spoiler alert, I love it).

// UPDATE 1: A few of you noted that Facecam looks over-sharpened. The good news is that you can bring this way down. I double-checked the default setting - it's level 2. I put these shots at level 3. That will reduce noise, which will be especially noticeable in low light and at those high frame rates. (Thanks for the helpful and nice comments, all!).


Below you’ll find both non-affiliate and affiliate links so you can pick your own adventure! In case you don't know: if you click on an affiliate link and buy something, the person posting the link often earns a small commission (e.g., from Amazon) but the price to you is the same. Why post both link types? I’m doing this for the love of it, and if you want to purchase through an affiliate link, I want that to be a conscious choice that you get to make! Thanks so much for watching.

I’ve made every effort to ensure that my videos are accurate and helpful, but please do your own due diligence.
