If you still can’t get the camera working with Microsoft Teams, the webcam drivers are to blame here. You can update, reinstall, or roll back to the previous driver version to fix the issue. With the best camera for teams meetings, it is great to have a balanced view in small or large room spaces. It is ideal to use for commercial and residential purposes. Its design, resolution, and style support the large room spaces.
Run Hardware and Devices troubleshooter
On October 10, 2018, Microsoft joined the Open Invention Network community despite holding more than 60,000 patents. In December 2018, Microsoft announced Project Mu, an open source release of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface core used in Microsoft Surface and Hyper-V products.

The Logitech Brio combines 4K resolution with Logitech’s webcam expertise — it’s no surprise this webcam has been popular since it first debuted in 2017. The Brio features 4K/30fps resolution (1080p/60fps), a 90-degree field of view, 5x digital zoom, and great image quality, color reproduction, and low-light performance. The Link offers unparalleled image quality, thanks to its 1/2-inch sensor and 4K resolution. But — more importantly — the Link has some of the best auto-exposure, color reproduction, and auto-focus we’ve ever seen in a webcam. Most webcams have difficulty adjusting between different lighting scenarios , and while the Link isn’t perfect, it’s very good at adjusting on the fly. Most recent laptops and all-in-one desktops have a decent—sometimes even great—built-in camera, so many people don’t need a standalone webcam.

Don’t leave empty-handed
I tried this one briefly, and it out-performed the Logitech with the stock configuration, but latency is not as good (still passable, if you don’t buffer in OBS). There’s some source code out there for adjusting camera parameters on macOS, I’m gonna write a little utility to access those and see if I can improve it. We’ve not tried one of these yet but the reviews are extremely bad, even after the update. It doesn’t look like a very polished product, with a cheaply printed logo on the front of it, either. Everybody sees everyday how bad the image is… And i can’t believe there is no market between a 100$ devices and 2K$ to 15K$.
