5 REASONS TO INVEST IN A
BETTER BUSINESS WEBCAM
How a high-quality webcam can enhance the way you
work and transform your video calling experiences.
WELCOME TO THE VIDEO ERA
Video is everywhere and has never been more relevant. Whether you work in the office, from home, the
local café, or mix it up, the ability to communicate virtually has become a necessity. Today’s collaboration
solutions exist in a variety of forms, from video-enabled rooms to PCs, laptops, and mobile devices, but they
don’t always offer the best experience. While you may be getting by with a built-in laptop camera or even
audio-only meetings, a simple equation normally exists – the better the solution, the better the meeting
experience. This guide takes a look at the importance of video calling and what you should look for when
investing in a business webcam.

5 THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN CHOOSING A BETTER BUSINESS WEBCAM
For the best possible quality and performance, consider the following five key factors:
1 Plug-and-play
Ease of use and deployment are essential. The ideal webcam
should plug into a USB port and ‘just work’. This means it’s
detected by your laptop or PC and works with your chosen
video conferencing apps without the need to download
additional software or mess with settings. Even better is a
webcam specifically tested or optimized for use with your
preferred video conferencing application, like Microsoft Teams
or Zoom, or that’s compatible with operating system features.

2 Resolution and frame rate
A webcam can’t provide a high-quality experience if it’s incapable
of capturing high-quality video. Higher resolution images are
much clearer on calls, and a higher frame rate results in smoother
motion on screen. While many manufacturers focus on image
quality, frame rate is often overlooked, with the optimal fps
(frames per second) of 30 sometimes hard to achieve. To cut costs,
many manufacturers use lower spec components that may deliver
30fps in good conditions but result in a compromised frame rate
and grainy images when compensating for low light situations.
Did you know?
Logitech Brio offers frame rates of 60fps for super clear video
calls and streaming.
3 Autofocus
Autofocus works by automatically focusing the subject while it moves
around. The best webcams focus in and out automatically as the
subject moves, while top-of-the-line models are designed with precision
autofocus that works seamlessly for an ultra-smooth appearance.

Logitech’s free Logi Tune software enables you to take control
of your webcam to easily update firmware and quickly adjust
framing, focus, and color, so you always look your best.
4 Auto-light correction
Lighting causes some of the most common video calling pitfalls.
Bright light behind the subject transforms them into a faceless
silhouette, while dim rooms make participants hard to pick out in
the murky gloom. And no two rooms are the same from a lighting
perspective. For this reason, the ideal webcam should adapt to your
location, not the other way around. For optimal performance, look
for webcams with protocols for low light environments. Otherwise,
participants on your video call could be left in the dark.
Did you know?
Most Logitech webcams feature RightLight™ technology to
automatically enhance video meetings by reducing video
noise, optimizing light balance, and fine-tuning color and
saturation for natural results in any environment.
5 Sound quality
If the sound quality in your video call is lacking, it doesn’t matter how
good the image is – your call is compromised. Make sure the webcam you
choose boasts superior audio quality through dual stereo microphones.
You should also consider headsets, and other audio solutions to
complement your webcam as part of a total video calling solution. There
are benefits to purchasing from a single vendor, especially in terms of
compatibility testing, certifications, and support.
Did you know?
In addition to providing a full range of webcams and headsets that
integrate easily with your setup, Logitech’s Zone Wired and Zone Wireless
headsets feature premium audio drivers and advanced noise-canceling
mic technology for complete clarity and focus.
