I use have a microsoft lifecam studio, its good for video quality, but I don't use the mic, as have never found a webcam that the inbuilt mic is any good on (I have worked from home for nearly 10 years, so have used and listened to a lot!)
How is the lighting in your work area? there are some with a built in light which is probably good if you have a poorly lit work area.

Lighting is ok, right beside a window during day time and have a soft lamp off to the side for evenings. Anything right in may face would likely reflect off my specs too much or else I iwould have gone with the ring light type ones. Same as you with audio, only ever use my earbuds (jabra 65t active) as the audio on those is great. ms_com uses her laptop audio like some kind of monster.
Just coming up on 3y WFH so learnt the audio thing quickly, just always used the laptop camera. Will also be nice to have the camera on the monitor which has the stuff I'm sharing so I can being looking towards people rather than off to the side.

I'm pretty sure @stevo_com is just using it for conf calls, not showing his hoohaa.
No judgement if he is though, of course.

Finally convinced IT to send me a second stand alone monitor to use instead of having to work off my laptop screen. So I'll have two monitors and the laptop shut and off to the side. I'll then need a separate webcam for video conferences since I'll be hiding the laptop one away. What's the best one for that purpose? Budget up to £100 I reckon.
