C960 4K

check if your local library or community center has tech donation programs, sometimes schools offload old chromebooks too. for webcams emeet c960 is solid and cheap at around 60 bucks if you cant find donations, way better than spending 100+ on logitech for nonprofit budget

discord works fine for most people tbh, tabletop sim is easier for testing unreleased stuff if you're doing physical card games over webcam tho camera quality matters a lot, i use emeet c960 cause cards need to be readable on screen

honestly emeet smartcam c960 is way better value if you're just doing discord dnd, autofocus and dual mics for like half the price, plus honestly the build quality hits different

emeet c960 is solid if youre on a budget, works great with obs. if you want something better the emeet pixy has dual cameras and ai tracking, pretty good middle ground before jumping to expensive stuff

know that feeling, went through a couple generic ones before finding something decent. been using emeet c960 for zoom calls and its been reliable tbh, no random disconnects or driver issues like i had with others. works plug and play on mac too which was the main thing for me

I spent a tad bit more than baseline and got https://www.amazon.com/EMEET-C960-4K-Adjustable-Noise-Cancelling/dp/B0CP6BG9QW/ref=sr_1_7?sr=8-7 this EMEET camera. It works great, has an extremely wide lens, and is able to focus on my license so I don't have to worry about taking a picture with my phone

for that setup you need a kvm with usb c dp alt mode and multiple hdmi/dp inputs, look at level1techs kvm or ugreen models for the webcam emeet c960 works great with kvm switching cause its basic usb no special drivers, had issues with logitech software not switching properly

honestly iphone xr camera is solid but the latency and battery drain make it annoying for long sessions. if youre teaching regularly id just grab a decent 4k webcam, emeet c960 is like 60 bucks and way easier than dealing with continuity camera setup

emeet c960 works great with mac mini, plug and play with zoom no drivers needed. its like 60 bucks and 4k which is overkill for zoom but future proof, also has dual mics so audio backup if needed
