This feature allows webcams to adjust their focus when you move closer to or farther away from the camera or when you hold something up in front of it, so you always look sharp. Some high-end cameras support 720p video at 60 frames per second, which makes for smoother video but isn’t necessary for most people who just want to look better in video calls. But that certification is unnecessary for most top webcams today to work with those programs. Some other webcams that cost more are “designed for business,” meaning mostly that they’re certified to work with Skype and other video software. Webcams over $100 often offer a larger field of view-90 degrees versus 70 to 80 degrees-which is helpful if you want to show more of the room, such as a conference table with many participants.
Even professional streamers or YouTubers with more demanding requirements don’t need to spend over $100.
