Webcam

Overview

This is a camera that plugs in to the computer by USB to provide the ability to show yourself on screen for meetings and other recordings. Often they are built in to monitors or laptops, but these are not always as high quality as those that plug in separately. HD or 4K webcams provide better quality. Most webcams include a microphone for picking up your voice, but they are not known to have great sound quality, so a separate microphone or USB headset for sound and microphone may be appropriate.
