Listen to this person.
Video chat is very important. If they something like "I don't have a camera" or similar. Don't listen to it, if they like you they will spend the 20$ to get a camera. Not kidding - Link
Don't listen to excuses. Ever.
Not sure about the 50% off, as it's usually around < $65 on amazon. Still cheaper though.
I'm putting this here because I don't want to flood the main sub with what I'm able to find. So here goes:

If anything you are under-reacting. I would come down on them like a ton of bricks. I would write office referrals for anything even remotely approaching the sort of behavior you are describing. If the result of the school investigation is nothing, I would ask for permission to record my classes with a wide-angle webcam like this.
I teach at a public school though, and our principal is an ex-marine who backs the teachers 100% when it comes to discipline issues. Administrative support makes a huge difference.
Welp, looks like you have to set up a public webcam bruh.

This isn't directly related, but you can buy a Logitech webcam that will record video to your computer hard drive any time there is movement in the room. It might help you sleep easier at night. Just remember to disable the webcam light when it records. ;)

It's an oldie but a goody. Logitech C920
I think it's pretty decent, records in 1080p, can use for streaming and web calls. Has a pretty decent focus ability.
But again, it's an older model, maybe there's better new versions?
I feel like for the extra $10 it'd be worth it to go through Amazon Canada for the prime shipping and not having to deal with exchange rates.

Anyone got any interesting setups/tv's? Idk why i'm writing this but here are the things I bring to tourneys.
Album link
My Tv Is by far the most eye catching thing. I bought 350 Fortune cookies and have been just taping them on there whenever I finish one. I am pretty much out of them so I have quite a bit all over the TV. The air fresheners were to bring some nice smells to any tournament I went to.
Standard Gamecube: 1.02 melee with newest 20xx TE and vanilla melee memory cards. This is the video cable IOnebring. It has s video + regular composite so I don't have to bring a powered splitter. Explaining more below.
Recording/Streaming setup: This consists of a Webcam which also records player/crowd audio (also a 16 ft extension). An Elgato with 16ft extension. Then I have 2 non-powered composite splitters. I plug in the composite video from the game cube directly into my TV and the S video into the elgato. The result isn't actually too bad (if someone knows how to deinterlace for better video hmu).
The last thing is My Controller: Someone on etsy painted it for me right before big house and so far it's a great purchase. It is of a Palestinian flag and has my tag on it. it doesn't feel any different from any other game cube controller which is great.
Edit: forgot about my headphone setup. I have sennheiser Momentums I bring with my headphone amp and plug that into the tv's audio with one of These. This has a pass through meaning other people can listen through the TV and I can adjust the volume with my amp. I also bring another headphone splitter so people can listen with their headphones.
Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 - $49.95

Pretty sure this is the cheapest it has been in a long time.

Logitech M510 Wireless Mouse - $13.99
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NR57BY
Hands-down the best budget wireless mouse in my opinion.
My roomy used to cam on her crappy little $400 laptop and it worked out pretty well. Cameras in this price range are going to be roughly the same. Still need a ton of light on you, still going to be a little grainy, etc. But they work.
Getting a quality external USB cam would be the way to go if you want something really clear.
And the ASUS Q501LA would be a very well rounded laptop in your price range, with a high end 1080p IPS touch display, backlit keyboard, 8GB RAM, i5-4200U, etc.
WELP...!
Just look at their store, everything is priced with the same pattern:

Logitech MX Sound 2.0 $299.99 other sellers $99.99
Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 $293.19 other sellers $50.99

Hey man I understand. I do need a new camera. Probably gonna be getting one for christmas.
EDIT: This will be here in 2 days. :)
I've been thinking about buying the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 to use mostly as a mic as a lot of people of YouTube use it for the same purpose along with the video recording and there voices sound very clear.
I just don't really like having the mic boom on my Astro A40s which is why I'm thinking of getting that webcam to use as a mic.
So let's cut right down to it and explain the parts:
---
This is the Cherry MX red review and I went for the Cherry MX brown. The reds are perhaps even more silent once you've applied the O-rings. Not entirely sure about that. Here is a very good read about mechanical keyboards and especially a nice look at the different switches. I use MX browns personally and it's not silent at all, but it's far less loud compared to MX blues, that I've used previously.
Note: the total price is without the keyboard, mouse & webcam.
---
Now I will also provide you with my standard list of videos to help you understand why I suggest these parts.
Lastly I'll also provide you with a couple of great guides to help you build the PC.
I have to post this in a reply to this post, since I went over the 10.000 character limitation reddit provides per post.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JH8T3S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 Best cam I ever used.
The camera available in FIRST Choice isn't cheap in terms of FIRST Choice points, but it is very cheap if you buy it elsewhere. Amazon has it for $21.
This year, I would recommend a USB camera (cuts out one of the two cables needed for an IP camera). Pretty much any USB camera should work. Unfortunately the new control system is not yet available to the public and I haven't heard of any beta test teams trying out different cameras, so I don't think there will be any people qualified to give a recommendation.
Since the Lifecam 3000 is available in FIRST Choice, I would say it's a fairly safe bet.
EDIT: It occurred to me that you might be looking for a recommendation for using with the old control system (potentially for an offseason project). If that's the case, then all I can really recommend are the Axis cameras, as that's all I've really seen teams use.
Get a LAN adapter. Even if it's not the Nintendo branded one, it's better and more stable then wifi. This is the one I bought recently and The amount of lag has good down A LOT
sorry for mobile link if anyone replies with normal link I'll replace it

> So unless he's somehow got a 4K webcam
You mean like the #1 bestselling webcam on Amazon, whose images are 5168x2907, or almost double 4K?
4K = 8.3 megapixels. Most popular webcam for sale today = 15 megapixels. I bought my webcam in a supermarket for $25 and it does 4K stills.
A logitech HD 1080p Webcam, it's like 80 bucks.
My guess is it's this one.
Which I also use. It's a great webcam.
Edit: Do not google search "Jesse Cox Webcam." Nothing good comes of it.

Hey /u/QuestionSleep - Nice work on the sounds for your video! It looks like everyone is giving you a bit of a hard time about the video quality though. So I'm here to help! :)
Here's a couple of super basic things to help you:
That webcam will film at a good frame rate automatically in 1080p. Problem solved!
Other than that, keep it up! Us ASMRtists have to keep working. Let me know if I can help you any more. And awesome Power Rangers top! :D
Hey Crimson! I have a pretty good amount of experience with camera work for my gaming videos!
I'm not sure what your budget looks like, so I'll start with the cheapest solutions first.
I would suggest the most easily obtainable camera for live action stuff would be just to simply use your smart phone! For example, the iPhone camera shoots with a Sony CMOS sensor in full HD! Just make sure you stabilize it on a tripod or flat surface because the auto image stabilizer is pretty terrible at times. Secondly, if you do choose this option, I would highly recommend using a different audio source. Smart phones traditionally don't always have the best audio recorders on board.
A web cam is probably your second best solution! Full HD cams can run about 50-100 bucks, but they usually get the job done. Though again, with all these recommendations, I'd suggest you use an alternative microphone for audio.
If your not willing to use cheaper alternatives like a smart phone or a webcam, then I think your best bet would be the GoPro. These products are massively popular for a reason; they can provide BEAUTIFUL footage if used correctly. You can probably find one of these bad boys USED for under 200 on craigslist. For the relatively small price tag, this is one of the best all purpose cameras on the market.
Finally, if you have a decent budget at your disposal, I'd suggest the T3i. If you only plan on using this camera for rare occasions, then I'd advise against purchasing it. However, if your hoping your channel would rely heavily on live action content, then this is it. This is your solution! It might end up running you a little over 500 bucks, but this is the camera a majority of youtube creators have been using. There is a slight learning curve, but when you get the hang of it, your videos will look fantastic.
Like I said though, never use the on board audio recorders these solutions provide for you. Buy a separate microphone if quality is a big concern for you in your videos!

Logitech C 920HD. Amazon link, around 60 dollars today, I got it for more.
I use it, many big Youtubers use it. Clear recordings, the software gives you good controls, it sticks nicely to your screen or on a flat surface. My latest video shows you how it looks, visit my flair if you wanna check it out.
You might still have to buy lighting and be able to edit it in right, but that's with any webcam. :)
I have the Logitech C920, which is a really excellent 1080p webcam with great low-light performance. It used to cost an arm and leg, but I see it's now below 70 USD on Amazon.
Mic quality is very good as well. It has stereo mics, one on each side (used for natural audio and noise cancellation). It's also Skype certified and is (as far as I know) one of very few that actually work with 1080p over Skype.
I can't recommend it enough, especially now that the price has dropped so much since I got it!
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1451697738&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=logitech+c920
First off this is for small business. Second, you get a webcam that does hardware encoding like the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920, 1080p Widescreen Video Calling and Recording. As for CPU usage in the reviews someone mentioned this
> The C920 does seem to use a lot less CPU than the C910. 640 by 480 on a core 2 Duo HP laptop was up to 80% CPU. With the 920C this dropped to 45% at 1280 by 920 by 30FPS.
That should work perfectly fine on a laptop like this: Inspiron 15 Non-Touch
I think the market for most webcams are video chats, like skype, so you will be pressed to find one without a mic. I understand you reasoning, but what you are looking for is more specialty, it does not fit what most people are looking for. This in turn would actually drive up the cost of a product like this.
TL;DR: Just pick up one of these guys, you can't go wrong: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1427560529&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=webcam
Modified a Microsoft Lifecam and 3D printed a 1.25" housing for it. (Modified from instructions here)
Running Windows 7 in a virtual box on my Mac. The software that came with the camera was causing some problems in that Windows partition, so I just used QuickTime video capture on my Mac partition. I believe it only captured at about 10 fps (should be 30).
Stacked in Registrax (first time using this also - feel free to suggest any tips!).
I have since got some camera control software (Webcam Settings, and working on getting Camera-Control to work for usb webcam as well) on the Mac side and hope to be able to capture some better images soon in the future!
I don't see Wii listed as supported, so I would not buy that one. I would get one that says it will work.
Buy a Wii U and the original Splatoon, and play for 8-10 hours a day until Splatoon 2's release to make sure you're really prepared for the online scene!
jk, of course.
Well, sortof, I'm going to be playing Splatoon a little each day in preparation myself, so...
The only real thing I can recommend is buying an ethernet adapter, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CBD2X5E/. It can make the difference between an unplayable game and an amazing game, depending on how much the Switch likes your WiFi.
I am not sure but I bought this one here and it works great.
Can I suggest you a laptop that's cheap enough (with great performance) with an external camera? I just wouldn't rely on any built in webcam if you're that serious about it.
Edit:
Here's my recommendation! Get this G50 from Lenovo for $459 and get either of these cameras, Logitech C270 ($22.95) or Logitech C930e ($89.86). I've used both webcams, both great, definitely for the price too.
You know ... you can get a fine 4k webcam for half the price of the a6000.
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-BRIO-Conferencing-Recording-Streaming/dp/B01N5UOYC4
Anyway, googling "use a6000 as webcam" turns up this:
https://soefficient.com/using-a-sony-a6000-digital-camera-as-a-webcam/
Looks like you'll need to spend another $100 for an Elgato Cam Link.

Switch Charger Ratings:
See my review of this power bank with the Switch.
The "newer version" Amazon lists is not a superior power bank. OP's is the RAVPower XTREME 26800 PD. The newer one is the RAVPower Ace 26800. The Ace is regular USB-C, so lower output. It'll charge the Switch while you play, but much more slowly. It also doesn't include a USB-C cable.
Gift one - I don't have a webcam, so I feel bad that I can't participate in fun things like the Summer camp costume contest and such.
Gift two C'mon...gimme.
You are both looking SMASHING today! Have you done something different with your hair? :D
Logitech 310. Bought it back in 2013 for about $30. Haha. No need for an expensive webcam at least from what I've experienced so far. Though I'm sure the better ones can keep the expressions more consistent.
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-960-000585-HD-Webcam-C310/dp/B003LVZO8S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539236756&sr=8-1&keywords=logitech+310+webcam
If you have a computer, you can get a real video setup for like $30.

I've been getting great results with the Logitech C270 webcam.
If you break it out of the case you'll find there is a focus ring which allows you to manually focus and get really close to prints! The ring is glued in place but will break free with a firm twist.
I designed a quick and dirty case to hold the PCB. I was going to add a nice cover but I noticed the board runs warm, so I left it open. There are plenty of prettier solutions on Thingiverse.
It's really, really easy to get started. Don't get me wrong, there is definitely a high level of production value that you can achieve (later on if you want to, or maybe never), but starting off is quite a simple thing.
All you really need is a laptop, a webcam, and decent internet... and maybe a soft lamp. It's best to have an ethernet cable running to your router if you can, for faster speeds than wifi. You can get a pretty cheap webcam that does a decent job, or shell out a little more and get something a little better. The best (or at least most popular) webcam for camgirls I have found is this one. Inbuilt laptop webcams might do the trick, but use your judgement on whether it looks good enough or not. Would you watch something of the quality you're producing?
There is sooo much information on ambercutie forums, but a trap that I fell into early on is feeling like you need expensive lighting, the best webcam, an amazing mic and so on when you really dont.
On the subject of lighting, it really makes a difference to be well lit, but you don't need photography-standard umbrella lights. I have two soft lamps a little bit behind my laptop so I'm lit from two angles, and it works really well. You just want to make sure they're soft and you're not casting yourself into shadow on one side, and MOST IMPORTANTLY not solely lit from above, like from a ceiling light. That is some unflattering shit.
I really like Myfreecams.com because it's easy to use, high traffic, the token conversion is easy to understand, the payment methods are easy and reliable, and probably least importantly is that there seems to be fewer rules regarding what you can and can't do (which makes it a little less stressful). Have a look at the aforementioned forum for advice regarding choosing a site. Verification can sometimes be a pain but if you have a driver's licence and a scanner you'll probably have a really easy time.
This is a loooot of information to take in all at once, I know. Even though I could go on and on for ages, like I said before, keep it simple to start with and don't stress yourself out with the nitty gritty - you might get so stressed you don't want to even begin. Bear in mind, this is all about the SOLID parts of camming, the technical aspects. The mental game is a whole other topic entirely, and I would be happy to answer more questions if you're asking.
Good luck! xx
If you have money to spend, I'd use a camera like This along with an adjustable arm like this one and attach the arm to something high up and look down. I used a similar setup for playtesting other card games and had a meterstick taped down on top of a bookshelf, attached the camera arm to that, and the camera directly above the playmat. In total will cost about 60 bucks but is as easy as it gets if you have to move it somewhere else.
If you already have a camera and a tripod, you may be able to secure that in a similar fashion to a nearby bookshelf though I dont know if you can get a perfect top down like you could with an adjustable arm as linked above.

I wrote a basic mecanum teleop op mode and merged in last year's tensor flow initialization code. I can post it later this evening.
If you want to go a little cheaper, the C525 is still quite good and costs about $30.
Grab a C920 or two and use Skype. You can run multiple instances easily for multiple camera angles. You may also desire an omnidirectional mic such as the Yeti for audio, but you can try a laptop built-in mic first and see if it picks up everyone at the table without noise canceling getting in the way. Of course, if the Hero 4 can be used as a webcam, then you can substitute it in place of a C920 without issue. I'm not sure how well it will work: I know the 4 is a huge improvement, but I definitely wouldn't bother with my 3 in any case.

PC that i use here is nothing special, just my ultrabook i use for school and stuff.
Just to clarify, you bought a $150 capture card just to capture camera feed from your iPhone?
If you don't plan on streaming console games and are only using it to capture your camera feed I would highly recommend you return it if you can and just spend the money on an actual webcam. The Logitech c920 is less than half the price and will result in much higher quality video.
Oooh nice. Well congrats. Lots of good info in r/digitalnomad (though that can be more for actively traveling remoters).
I'd encourage you to google a few articles on common pitfalls of remote work to help you avoid. And if you're doing any video conferencing get a nice webcam. I did some research and this HP webcam is about the best bang for your buck.
If you're doing work on the phone, get a nice bluetooth headset that has excellent noise cancelling, so you can take calls in coffee shops/public environments & not worry about background noise.
The C920, which seems like a cheaper model, stands around 80-100$ on Amazon, lowest being 60$
Sorry to butt in, but this is what I use on my Wii U, and it works perfectly.
If you’re willing to spring for top-end, I think the Logitech BRIO is still the top-of-the-line webcam model. Nothing really beats it unless you’re willing to dig into industry or studio cameras, which are a whole different beast.
My money is on the Logitech C930e, which offers 1080P widescreen video, good audio (though I wouldn’t rely on a webcam for streaming audio anyway), and can usually be found for half the price of the BRIO or less, especially when it’s on sale (and both are). The C930e is basically the next generation of the C920, which was rightly an industry standard for years, and is still a solid webcam; but considering the C930 goes on sale and the C920 seldom does anymore, it’s worth getting better quality for a comparable price.
You don’t really need a studio-quality video camera to stream gaming content (maybe if you want to produce videos too...), and it won’t make a meaningful difference to go past a certain point, so I’d take the remaining $200+ and spring for a higher quality mic and capture card, which can make a much bigger difference.
If a good quality/price ratio, I suggest the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 and the Blue Snowball.

We currently use:
3x Logitech C922x Pro Webcams
7x 3.5mm Lapel Mics
7x 3.5mm to 1/4in adapters
2x Mini Audio Mixers
1x USB-to-1/4in Cable
1x 1/4in to 1/4oin cable
For video, we just use the webcams like normal.
For audio, we daisy chain the two mixers with the 1/4in cable, and plugin each mic to their adapters and into the mixers. Use the 1/4in to usb cable to capture the audio out of the last mixer, and now you have a dial for each audio line, but only one audio input device to your PC.
It's not the best solution, but it is way less expensive than buying the hardware video encoding and digital audio mixers would have cost (by factors of 10).

There’s tons of cheap USB fingerprint readers that work great with Windows Hello on Amazon.
The cameras are generally speedier. Another I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the Logitech Brio:

https://ca.camelcamelcamel.com/Logitech-BRIO-Digital-Recording-Streaming/product/B01N5UOYC4
According to camel, the lowest price on amazon was $187.49 in November.
The Logitech 920 series is pretty standard for camming. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K95WFWM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jQt4DbFK9W3QK
The iSight cameras on both my 2015 and 2018 MBPs and our older MBAs are all really good... but nowhere near professional quality. They're really good compared to any Windows laptop's webcam.
If you want better quality, it might be worth investing in a higher-quality external webcam. The benefit to that is you can put it on a mini/tabletop tripod and position it exactly where you want it. The Logitech C920 is still probably the best bang for your buck.
See this review for a comparison between the Mac's built-in webcam and the C920.

Kinects are bigger and bulkier than webcams and are more of a pain to place and maneuver. I would highly suggest buying a webcam.(USD)

This one is pretty good (and only a few bucks over budget)
I wish someone would have given me this list when I started. For about $360 the list below gives you everything you need. I highly recommend against recording on your phone. There is also a lot of great free software out there for recording video for both PC and Mac. I use XSplit personally, even if I'm not streaming. You could probably find the light set without the green screen for a little cheaper if you want, but I wouldn't go any cheaper on the microphones, soundboard or webcam. With all this you'll have a semi-professional setup at an affordable budget.

I use a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920. The camera offers 1080p recording at 30fps and its a webcam so it just powers through the computer. The camera also has a camera mount option but you can use its own built in clip for attaching it to monitors and laptops. Plus it's only a little over your budget by $4 but the price drops often.
I always will recommend the Logitech C92 Webcam best bang for your buck. But as long as the quality of the cam is 720P and can withstand atleast 30 FPS you'll be fine.
Headsets really don't matter, but when I have alot of people over I use my Blue Snowball... You can find one alot cheaper than that shopping around. The Yeti is the best mic I've used but super expensive... If I'm by myself I just use my turtle beaches actually.
As for my computer, I stream from the ASUS ROG Laptop. Don't worry about your specs much as long as you can get some solid RAM memory. (4GB at the absolute lowest). The bandwidth of your internet speed is what you need to worry about the most... The lowest the general public can stream at that's tolerable is about 1100 kb/s. So keep that in mind.
Feel free to ask me anytime.
Logitech HD 920 is my favorite and it's 50% off on Amazon
There's also that new razer one that has an LED ring key light built in Razer Kiyo AMAZON
As of now just use your mic on your headset, don't go scrambling for a microphone before you know you are gonna be streaming for longer than a week or on occasion.
As for the camera the logitech HD c920 is what many streamers use.
$49.99 on sale right now
One of the best cameras you'll get on a budget probably.
Can you spare an extra $20? I just got a refurbished Logitech C920 for $53 and it's top notch. Looks brand new, just doesn't have the packaging.
I looked through the sellers and found the deal.

1 minutes and 12 seconds just to do a key card effect?
I appreciate that you're trying to make videos with some production value, but your videos need to mature a great deal before they'll see any love in this sub-reddit.
If you're interested in improving the quality of your videos, I have some recommendations:
Right now your videos are getting downvoted because they feel like spam. They're like a thousand other videos out there of kids who think that all they need is a simple trick, music, and some video effects and they deserve a subscription base.
Why the fuck isn't he using his brand new "selfie stick" for his cooking videos...

Do you guys think he'd be able to figure this out?

Does the same job as the official one so I see no benefit in getting the Nintendo branded one. I think they stopped making it since majority uses wireless, and there's ton of compatible third party adapters. Plus you can use this on a laptop or various other devices.
e.g. of a proper cable https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Pull-up-Resistor-MacBook-ChromeBook/dp/B011995DDO
You can consider these speakers, and pair it with the SMSL amp as in the top post - it's available on amazon.de.
How about this instead (that Denon amp is just barely "ok")....

I see Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 on amazon.co.uk for £100 and they do deliver to mainland france...
careful with the dimensions... they are not small, also maybe not as easy to power with a T-amp
What's your budget?
I second Logitech. The c310 is good, on the higher end is the c920.

if she will be gaming on a Wii u you will need a capture card or a capture device that plug in via usb.
I recommend a good webcam like a Logitech HD C310 or Logitec HD C920
for a mic I would recommend a good dedicated mic, something like this or if you want your kiddo to feel like a professional streamer without breaking the bank, then [this](https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Professional-Broadcasting-Microphone-Adjustable/dp/B00XOXRTX6/ref=sr_1_8?
ie=UTF8&qid=1494912402&sr=8-8&keywords=computer+microphone)
Other then that, I would suggest grabbing the open broadcasting software to use to record her videos.
I do book reviews, but I also do visual book reviews on YouTube. I do this for fun, but I also do this to help me one day on a resume. I want to be a librarian. I have for a very long time. When I am able to get back in school, its what I will be studying for. This camera might help. It's not even a full 100, not even close.
It would also help boost my self confidence. I am a very shy person in real life, and doing BookTube reviews has actually helped me get out of my shell.
I know there is a lot more people who could use it a lot more than I could. I think I was more posting this not just for the contest, but to kind of keep pushing myself to keep doing it.
Thank you for the contest. :) And the unintentional boost.

I think showing button presses and maybe having a "hand cam" can be super helpful to making sure what you are talking about makes sense.
This one of SSBM Tutorials older videos, but is I think a good guide line for beginning to make tech videos.

You can get a reasonable webcam for as cheap as $20 if you want some quality better than your phone or laptop cam.

Good enough for an alpha state game, I imagine.
You can't really record directly from the iPad to the Mac. I think you're probably going to want to look into getting a webcam. Nearly any USB webcam will work with the Mac.
This is a nice one on the cheap but not super cheap end.
You may also want to get a microphone. Many webcams like the one I just linked have one built in, but these are usually pretty low quality. You might give it a try first with the built in mic but if you want higher quality audio I recommend a nice USB mic like the Blue Snowball. Optional, but it'll make your videos sound 100% better.
All of these can be used as direct input for iMovie. iMovie is great for basic video editing and can upload your work directly to YouTube. It's great software that comes free with every Mac.
It really depends on the setup you want. I used a headset for a long time that had good audio and sound for the price. Was a plantronics gamecom 780., But really, any mic will do for the most part. If you just want a basic USB mic, id go with something like this and as for a webcam Id go with the Logitech C525 which I actually still use for my "cat cam" since upgrading my cam a while ago to the C920. So about $60 for a decent setup that wont disappoint. The main thing with the microphone is to properly setup all the necessary filters to get the most out of it
get cellphone user crap... there are hundreds of quality earbuds with a mic along the wire for next to nothing;
http://www.amazon.com/JBuds-Fidelity-Ergonomic-Earbuds-Headphones/dp/B005VEZ54Q
I'm not sure, but since PC's often have separate speaker/mic jacks, you might have to get some sort of 1/8" splitter. to avoid this issue you can also consider stereo wireless headphones and mic that cellphone users get like;

I haven't recorded any videos or streamed on youtube but I have been streaming on twitch this year. I only really stream Nintendo switch gameplay. All I needed (I already had a good pc and 2 monitors) to buy for the set up;
•Elgato game capture hd60 pro which I needed to link my switch up to the pc.
•logitech c920 hd webcam but webcams aren't always needed for streaming - loads of cool streamers who don't do webcam and still do well with my personal fav being dreamie pop on twitch
•blue yeti microphone
That was enough for me to get started and although it can be quite intimidating and weird at the start, keep going. Especially with games like stardew because there's such a sweet stardew community on twitch. I would recommend hanging out in some of these streams when you can, get a feel for the way things work and make some friends!
Se a qualcuno interessasse una webcam di qualità, amazon.co.uk ha in offerta per le prossime 12 ore la Logitech C920 a circa 33€+5€ di spedizione (attenzione se avete commissioni per il cambio euro-sterlina). Questa webcam solitamente costa 60€.
Edit: aggiunta la durata dell'offerta

Some notes for participants:
I've got a Logitech c920 on top of my monitor that I just aim down where my keyboard usually is and put my playmat there. Works just fine over skype/discord/curse/whatever
I run the roll20 app inside of google hangouts. It does the game table, and voice chat all in one window. I have tried every chat client out there and Hangouts is by far the best now (it sucked the first few years, but it is google so it got fixed).
On another monitor I have our campaign document open, which is a GoogleDoc spreadsheet with a tab for every character and several game notes. I share all of that in a gDrive folder with the game rules and handouts.
I keep a pdf of the gamebook open on a third monitor (I only use pds anymore so that I search the text).
Then I have also started to run Roll20 on my tablet as a player so that I can make sure I see what the players are seeing.
A good microphone

I use the Logitech C920, it's been a great webcam for everything from Skype/Hangout calls to recording reaction videos for let's plays.
Normally $99, but it's currently on sale on Amazon for $68.

I've set up my G7 for streaming (once), but it requires some extra hardware and is still a pain. I had an HDMI-to USB converter that I use with my microscope, and people kept asking what the zebra striping was because I didn't get every useful screen element turned off.
If you wanted to do a proper job of the streaming, I'd recommend getting a webcam (e.g. Logitech c920 which also takes a tripod screw). You could also just look for the cheapest webcam you could find as long as it was compatible with your operating system, but that wouldn't be as useful a piece of hardware generally.
I have the Logitech C615 and I really like it. It picks up sound really well which I always had a problem with. For a little more you could get the Logitech C920 and have something with dual mics (which generally picks up on more/better sound)

Hello!
I don't know what your budget is, but a lot of people who make stop-motion films with LEGO use the Logitech C920 webcam. It's compact and has great image quality.
If you have more questions about stop-motion animation with LEGO, check out BricksInMotion.com.
Couldn't you just have one setup locally stream to the other and then capture all and stream out to twitch? That could be the easier setup
Just in case they aren't sitting next to each other? if they are they are doing a job of not talking over each other ...

Not sure why OP showed amazon.com
The standard for streaming is the Logitech 920. Looks like it's on sale right now too. I've since upgraded to the Sony A6000 but that's probably overkill for what you're looking for. If you are looking for video quality (at a cheaper price) I agree with most others, use your phone. It most likely has a higher video quality for point and shoot and quick reviewing. My pixel 2 video quality is far better than my webcam.

This is what I use. It's got the microphone built in and it's got really good quality video. But there are plenty of cheaper video cams that are good and can be used with gaming headsets.
You can get a very good quality (better than any laptop webcam), clip-on webcam for about fifty dollars. There are also cheaper webcams out there.
Unanswered (again) question from a previous megathread
Author /u/OnyxiasLair - (Permalink)
Hey.
I'm looking to record guitar videos for YouTube. I'm recording the audio via my audio interface, so the sound quality of the camera doesn't matter at all.
Ideally I'd like I camera I can control, or at the very least monitor with my computer. So I can set it up, and record takes etc with my PC.
Would I get a good step up going from a webcam like this to a $200ish camera?
If so, can you recommend one for my use?
I use this
I also stream (on twitch) and this works perfectly. Absolutely no complaints about it and I was actually told about it over at r/twitch when I asked the same question you did.
For a webcam, the Logitech C920 has been THE de facto webcam for years. You can pick one up for about $60 new most of the time: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006JH8T3S/
As for wireless, you just need a wifi card of some sort. Asus and Gigabyte make ones that are relatively affordable and have AC support.
What's your budget and country?
I'm going to assume you're in the United States until you specify.
Amazon has a sale on the Logitech C920 ($64.33 down from $99.99). The C920 is generally what a lot of streamers use until they switch to an actual camera.
There's also the Logitech C615 which is also on sale for $45.95 down from $69.99. The image quality won't be as great as the C920 but it should still be a decent quality webcam.
I don't have a whole lot of experience with webcams to be honest, but I've heard really good things about the Logitech c920. Amazon has them here for $70 with Prime shipping.
Hope that helps.

This is the one I use and most streamers I see using. It's simple and easy to set up. I don't have natural light either as most of it comes from in front of my camera's lens and bleeds into shot. I recommend having a couple of those paper lamps from Ikea and soft light lamps. They add great lighting if you use a dark room.
No you cannot use an iPhone for a webcam, and MFC does not allow men if you were thinking of couples camming.
I'd strongly suggest waiting until you can pick up a Logitech c920 or 930 from Amazon.
She can cam with the built in cam on her laptop, but the quality is not very good and she'll most likely waste her New Model status with the poor quality.
If she does end up going that route, I'd recommend picking up a lot of lights and fiddling with that to get the best quality video you can.
Are you planning on streaming PC Games or Console games? if console your going to need a capture device: amazon
This camera has comes highly recommended for your budget: amazon
I used to do PIP streams a long time ago but really it should be pretty simple to set up in OBS.
When I ran couch streams I had a mic on a boom connected to a mixer I kept near my feet so I could change the mic volume on the fly. I don't know exactly what kind of set up you'll have, but I def recommend setting it up a few days early and testing it if you haven't already.
I'm sure I'm forgetting things so just let me know and I'll do my best to respond quickly.
Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920, 1080p - $69.99
Logitech HD C310, 720p - $29.80
Edit: formatting and added 1080p model
If you could afford an extra 25 bucks https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1541182957&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=c920
would be an amazing choice. I have had mine for years and have never had an issue.
I have the Logitech C920 and it's awesome. I got it on Newegg while it was around $50. If you keep an eye out for deals on this one you can get it for a decently cheap price!
But with all honesty, for LPs, your webcam is taking up a small portion of your video. Unless you're doing full screen style vlogs, a professional camera set up is really not needed.
I use this webcam right now and I think it's pretty good, if you'd like a cheaper one, you could always go for a 720p resolution camera. Everyone suggests this one as the high end camera if you'd like to look really nice.
And yes, OBS does support green screen (chroma keying).
I use Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920

It wasn't designed for that, you'd be better off with a c920. You'd get better quality, reliability and features out of that dedicated webcam for a lot less effort (face tracking, face focus, c920 does amazing low light video). But of course it's possible.
If you manually shorten the url to remove the ref portion (even if that ref is your search terms) it should allow it. It looks for any ref portion.
For example, by me going to amazon, and doing a search then clicking on a product, it generates this URL:

But that can be shortened to:
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B006JH8T3S
And it will still link to same page without triggering the bot.
c920 @$60. I have one, they work well, it's what most streamers and youtubers use. You literally clip the thing to your monitor (or a tripod if you prefer) download the software, and plug it in and you're good to go.

With the camera location on these things, if I were doing a lot of Skype I would get a webcam like this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006JH8T3S
First off, it is so amazing that you want to support him, even though you aren't sure what it is. A good mic is probably the first thing I would get. It doesn't have to be expensive either, this one is very common and is of much better quality than a mic on a headset. https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Snowball-Condenser-Microphone-Cardioid/dp/B006DIA77E/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=usb%2Bmic&qid=1574866095&sr=8-7&th=1
A webcam is recommended, but a microphone is more important. That said, if you do want to get him a webcam, this is a good one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=twister_B07XFGW1NZ?_encoding=UTF8&th=1
Other than that, there isn't much else needed besides a computer that is good enough to stream. I really hope he gets popular, and it is very nice to see a parent supporting their child's goals. Have an awesome day!
You're probably right about the headphones
For Mics they either use the Audio-Technica AT2020, or different model from the same brand(the AT 2035 maybe).
For Webcams they use the Logitech c920.
Their chairs are DX Racers
For capture cards I think they use El Gatos
They used to use Alesis MultiMix 16 mixer, but they may have updated to something newer.
They're keyboards, monitors, and I think mice consist of whatever they happened to have on hand at the time. I think I've seen HP, ASUS, Dell, and Apple stuff mostly.
He uses an actual videocamera and/or DSLR that comes with a remote for that.
This has face tracking and comes with software that allows you to zoom in and control the camera (if you disable facetracking). I use it, and it's great.

Logitech HD Pro WebCam c920
This is one that I've seen recommended a lot: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1420262538&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=webcam
I think any HD, autofocusing, 16:9 webcam will do though.
I am not sure what he uses but I know a large majority of content producers use the Logitech C920. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-960-000764/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1369099174&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=c910
I doubt you will have any issues with it.
1: personally, i use a Logitech C920. It's really nice, but also overkill since you don't need to put out 1080p video from your cam to have good quality. It's on sale currently on amazon though.
2: i just started using an Audio-technica AT2020 and so far I love it. They make a usb version of it as well.
3: My green screen cost me $18 bucks for a 6' x 10' screen. I would make sure that you get a green screen made from muslin fabric.
My biggest piece of advice is to not settle on anything lower than 1080p. That level of video quality is almost expected these days, and webcams are really affordable. It's easy to find something lower than $50 that will film in HD, but if you're willing to spend a little more I'd suggest the webcam that I have, the Logitech HD Pro C920. The video quality is great, and the auto settings are usually perfect which is great because I hate putting in the time to fool around with video settings. It has autofocus, which is relatively rare in webcams, and results in a really nice picture as long as you turn off the autofocus once it's focused on your face (otherwise it'll be jumping around throughout your video, as I realized the first time I recorded with it). Personally I think it's worth the price, but you could find something a bit cheaper if you don't care about all the bells and whistles. Just go for 1080p!
EDIT: About the autofocus, I mean that model actually autofocuses during video, if you keep the option checked. It's completely silent, which is nice if you ever need to film a video where you'll be putting things closer to the camera to show detail (like unboxings or something) because you won't need to refocus while filming.
Here ya go!
For a fairly cheap but still effective solution, you can try the Logitech HD C920. That's the brand we use at my job in our small meeting rooms (the tables we use are about the size of that table, if a little smaller), and it worked so well that I got one for personal use at home. Easy set-up, picks up fairly good sound quality, and is wide screen so the whole table should be able to be included.
And no, Logitech doesn't pay me to shill for them ^^^^Though ^^^^I ^^^^wouldn't ^^^^say ^^^^no, ^^^^if ^^^^they ^^^^wanted ^^^^to...
£28.99 is $38.57 American, and it's on Amazon US for $49.93. So yes, it would be a better deal, but only if you A) can get it, and B) don't have to pay much in taxes and shipping.
Honestly, I'd just wait for it to go on sale in the US too, and it looks like the price is trending downwards, I'd expect Amazon.com to have it for $40 or less by the end of the year

This is perfect for my LDR, thank you so much for posting this! :)
Edit: This is also the price on Amazon CA if you'd rather buy there!
Everyone else is giving you good recommendations for microphone, etc, so I thought I'd just throw in that if you're looking for a good webcam, I use the Logitech HD Pro C920. It does 1080/30fps and I've been really happy with it. The settings are intuitive, it looks great, and you can clip it to your monitor or set it on a flat surface with it's folding base.
The audio is 100% TERRIBLE though so definitely get a nice sounding mic.
It's this webcam. I really like it. It works out of the box with Linux, too.
If you're willing to spend a little extra, the Logitech C920 (referral link) would be a great deal for you. It's $50 USD on Amazon right now. It does pretty serviceable 1080p video. The audio sucks on it since webcams typically rely on you to be right in front of the computer, but if you've got that microphone you shouldn't have any problems.
Here's some sample footage I found on YouTube.
As for the Samsung J5, the video is more than serviceable. Here's some sample footage from that. I'd hate to recommend buying a new phone because it's a bigger purchase. Then again, it would give you some flexibility with where to set up your camera.
The J5 is that much cheaper because it's a budget phone (a quick Google search shows the 2017 model at <$200 USD). It's not going to hold a candle to your girlfriend's S9, and I'm willing to bet money that the phone overall is noticeably slower. The S9 also does 4K video while the J5 is limited to 1080p.
Whatever you end up getting, just make sure you're lit pretty well. Budget cameras don't perform superbly under low light.
>flicker my eyelashes or something
Hey, we all die for our craft.
Yeah, so you need to ssh into the Raspberry Pi and enable the camera via
sudo raspi-config.Although, the Raspberry Pi camera has limited support AFAIK, it is MUCH better to just use a recommended camera.
I use a Logitech C920 and it works GREAT.
P.S: The AstroPrint Forums are not sparse at all, in fact, you are much likely to get a faster response there than here ;)
Microsoft makes a good webcam.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009CPC6QA/
I routinely use mine in a dark room, and it has no problem, at all, in low light situations. I also have it sitting in top if my monitor, and it has no trouble picking up my voice if I lean back in my chair.
I actually used a Microsoft LifeCam Cinema to take this. Webcam.

http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00CBD2X5E/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1416954056&amp;sr=1&amp;keywords=wii+adapter
If you're using a pro-controller/ wired fight pad etc you won't be able to use it in locals/ tournaments because they are usually banned [due to accidental reconnects] as these connect into the wii's controller.
If you're using a gamecube controller [i highly recommend], you need an adaptor. I also suggest you get official game cube controllers, as off-brand/ knock-off ones wear out very quickly.
If you're going to be playing only w/ friends or randoms, you'll require and ethernet-usb adaptor [+ some cat5 cable]. You don't need a nintendo branded one, just get one that supports wii u [not all do]. having a fast wifi hub right next to your wii u is unplayable. you need wired connection.
edit: a review if interested.
I ordered this.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CBD2X5E
I don't have Wi-Fi at home so I decided to buy this. When I get it I'll report back and give a mini review.
I have two of these connected to pi zeros and it's been really reliable.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CBD2X5E/ref=sxts1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1491089954&amp;sr=1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65
yeah, that's what my initial setup was until monday when I bought this guy
What's a good one? I have this one but I don't know if it's worth a damn.
I bought one of these and it's helped out. Not perfect, but makes your end more reliable.
I bought this one back in June. Fairly cheap (the white colors cost less for whatever reason) and it's still working like a charm 6 months later.
My set up is similar to /u/alittlekink 's.
My computer an duel monitors are set up on an ikea desk made out of a Ikea Alex drawer unit leg set. I use two softboxes, One on the stand on one side & then one sitting on the floor on the other side of my desk. (The floor softbox hides the belly shadow) Before the lighting kit, when I had housemates, I used a cheep target lamp with mutiple heads like this.
My desk sits in front of the only window in the room, so I can use the natural light as filler during the day.
My bed is placed sideways (longways) against the wall opposite the desk, made up daybed style.
I use a Logitech c930e placed on a cheep tripod that I can move around.
Thank You!
I have given the Logitech G502 as a gift to friends, and had them tell me about buying it for others. Having button mappings for all the games is a real time-saver when starting a new game. The shape and button placement are very good. Three flaws: not available in S/M/L sizes, right-hand only, it does not have a pinky shelf.
Two other slightly-expensive but fantastic peripherals are the Logitech C930e webcam with flip-up cover and Sony Studio Monitor headphones. These are used in real radio and recording studios and come in two main models: 50 mm fixed MDR-7510, 40 mm folding MDR-7506.

Sure. A good starting point is actually Zoom's "Recommended Hardware" section on their website. Most everything on that site can be purchased separately.
> I need to buy a HD wireless webcam...
I don't think you actually do. First off, wireless webcams for what you're trying to do are not really a thing. And even if you bought one that claims to be wireless within your budget, I guarantee that you'll have reliability issues with it: it'll drop out halfway through the broadcast, it won't pair, it just won't work, etc.
Instead, I'd recommend getting a Logitech c930 and stick it on a tri-pod. It's a 1080p wide-angle webcam -- it'll work great for short or medium distance viewing angles. Buy a USB extension if you need more length, but be careful, USB cables tend to start flaking out if they're longer than ~10 ft.
As for audio, it depends on what the audience needs to hear. Will he only be talking with them? Will he be playing an instrument as well? There are a number of options here, so I'll need a better idea of what's going on to recommend the best solution.
Got Android Auto for the first time a few weeks ago. Right away had problems with it either not recognising or regularly disconnecting my Pixel 2 XL.
When I enabled USB debugging it improved but wasn't perfect. Changed my usb cable and switched usb debugging off and it's been running with no hiccups ever since.
This is the cable I'm using now, just wish it was a bit shorter...

> Anker adapters
Seconded, bought this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Pull-up-Resistor-MacBook-ChromeBook/dp/B011995DDO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1487761269&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=usb+c
in the UK, works perfectly.
I don't see a model number, but this is the cable I use: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B011995DDO
However if you need the wall plug part as well, you'd probably want to buy this set:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/PowerIQ-Anker-Charger-PowerPort-included/dp/B01CJ9OEZG/
Note that the quick charging technology is overkill, generally you'd want to slow charge these phones when possible (and the phone will set this automatically, at least at night)
edit: the charger link is uk, so with UK plug, but I'm sure you local store or localized online store has it with any plug you need
I can always vouch for Anker and Aukey cables / chargers. We use them a lot at work, and they're pretty popular on Amazon.
Alternatively, you could use the small adapters for MicroUSB to USBC. They appear to work with my existing fast chargers.
Here is the one I bought.
To quote one of the reviewers:
>They correctly comply with the USB-C spec so they do not falsely advertise a 3A current being available to plugged in devices. This matters because although one end is the new USB-C type, the other is the legacy USB-A type and the maximum current that USB-A charges should supply is 2.4A. If your device demands more than that it can cause the charger to brown out and even be damaged or catch fire, and this could also result in damage to your device. Even if your charger has over-current protection, it is not a good idea to test it out by using bad cables. These cables include a resistor of the correct value to tell the USB-C device that it should not demand more than the USB-A spec can supply and therefore all is well.
I went with Anker, since I own their other products and have no issues whatsoever http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B011995DDO/ - works like a charm.

= €713 + €7.95 for case delivery from Parcel Motel = €721
It's a tiny bit over budget but absolutely worth it, you'll be playing anything you want at 60fps ultra on this.
The GPU you will need to get second hand as the market for them is brutal right now due to bitcoin mining have an huge spike the last while (and a 1060 6GB would be at least €265 even if it wasn't). Adverts.ie is surprisingly good for those, one posted from Ashbourne in Meath only yesterday at €200 (£177.50) - http://www.adverts.ie/graphics-cards/asus-gtx-970-strix/13375243 . I got a 970 second hand and it's an excellent card, only a tiny bit behind a 1060 6GB.
Anything in the list that does not delivery to Ireland, Parcel Motel will do for €3.95 per item - they're excellent by the way for service (the case it €7.95 because it's too big to fit into their lockers, but they will deliver direct to your home or work).
Thank you, well spotted as I didn't see it had a cooler. Thanks. Yes done the ram to this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07B2Y1N8B/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1 and I think 400w will be ok. Update - https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-WHITE-Power-Supply-100-W1-0500-K3/dp/B01E4YRP8W# 500w PSU for same price as the 400w.

If you were able to spend like £300 you could get better parts and would probably be happier with the final result.
You can go with something like this. Though, the 1050TI doesn't need external power.
its probably not that. PCPP cant find the link for amazon but here it shows its in the UK

Amazon Prime Day is coming soon. I can bet this will be on a good sale. This thing goes on sale a lot. I only use it for SC and it worked pretty well, even when FOIP was buggy. So, should work really well with the new version.

2 ender 3's are in the pic, The left one is called Yoshi and the right one is called Ironman. (normally yoshi has all blue parts and ironman has red. but i did some swapping around last few days)
I have 2 cameras a cheap one and an expensive one. as you can imagine the expensive one gives way better time lapses. this video in particular was filmed using the logitech c922.
logitech c922 is around $75 on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-C922x-Pro-Stream-Webcam/dp/B01LXCDPPK
and the logitech c270 is only around $20 - https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-designed-Calling-Recording/dp/B004FHO5Y6
The logitech c270 does 1280x720 however only around 15fps which is fine for timelapses but i like to check on my printers using my phone over wifi and the frame rate sucks. It can handle 30fps at 640x480 if you don't mind the resolution.
However the c922 i got handles 1080p at 30fps, i run it at 1280x720 at 60fps, which means i get no delay in the image when i watch it on my phone. plus it seems to be much better at low light level and focus.
I ran led lights around the outside of the strip and it gives more of a consistent lighting. about $10 on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Waterproof-Holiday-Outdoor-Decoration/dp/B075R4X1XL
Both printers have bl touch and marlin 1.1.9 and custom boot screens. https://i.imgur.com/HnjgJCh.jpg
I have another video here https://youtu.be/ATbcqLi4Trg i am still learning and practicing how i want to make the timelapses and working on some larger projects such as sanding and painting.
let me know if there is anything else you wanna know!

Logitech rebranded some time back, removing the eye logo and changing the text to a different font. I think it's entirely reasonable that they would want to redesign the device to reflect these changes.
FWIW, the newer C922x shares the same text layout, and there are ebay listings similar to yours.
Slight redesigns like these are quite common in Logitech products. The G240 mousepad, for example, went through at least four versions of coloring and logos without changing the model number.
For a mic, I recommend a blue snowball, its easy to setup, sounds good and has a stand.
To be honest, I really dont think that a webcam at this early stage would be such a good idea but a good one would be a Logitech C922x
As headphones go, a pair of corsair void pros would be great and have awesome sound quality. The wireless ones are great, plug them in overnight and then play all day and you are good to go! But for simplicity, I recomend the wired version as then you dont have to remember to plug them in
I have this camera and can tell you that it's excellent.
https://smile.amazon.com/Logitech-960-001176-C922x/dp/B01LXCDPPK
This is the new model, and it's basically the same except for native h.264 compression, native 720p@60fps, background replacement, native autofocus.
I don't know if this helps much as this is a bit out of my realm, but this is the webcam I purchased. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LXCDPPK/ I've had a lot of people compliment the background blur behind me combined with the depth (I still have to work on lighting)
I currently stream. I'd say 90% of the people use C920 (or C922, etc variant). I'd recommend the BRIO but it costs a bit more. Watch this.
I’d suggest the Logitech Brio. It is a webcam and runs about $160. It is up to 4K resolution and would look pretty sharp for any stream when scaled down to 1080p.
Some people may tell you to go DSLR or some other higher end camera but if you aren’t spending over $500 I wouldn’t suggest it.
Buy a Logitech Brio and invest in a good lighting system. I highly suggest the LimoStudios Ring Light!

(original article)
The second World Championship for Star Wars: Destiny just wrapped up. It was a fantastic time, bringing together players from all over the world. I was fortunate enough to attend the first Worlds and was happy to see that Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) had made many improvements with very few steps taken backwards.
Before I dig into the Good and the Bad of Worlds, I want to make a few clarifications. Chief among them is that unlike other events run at Fantasy Flight Games Center, Worlds is organized and operated by Organized Play (OP). Most other events at the Games Center are run by the store management and staff. I will also be referring to FFG throughout most of the article, but most of the feedback is directed at OP.
The Good
Bigger Means Better
The most noticeable improvement was the extra Destiny players FFG squeezed into the main schedule. More people means more party, right? Both World Championships were played in the same space, but this year FFG added an entire extra day 1 to the main event allowing around 330 players to attend. This is a big step in the right direction but I think there is still room for improvement. Last year's North American Championship had around 400 players - FFG has the space to accommodate at least that many if they didn't run their event concurrently with X-Wing. The good news here is that it was announced during the Hyperspace Report that X-Wing is getting its own Worlds, which makes a bigger Worlds and more space possible for Destiny.
More Side Events
The extra Destiny players added this year needed something to do and FFG stepped up to the challenge with a bevy of side event options. If you were so inclined, you could grind tickets until your wrist cramped up from rolling dice. Drafting, trilogy, standard, sealed, multiplayer free-for-all, and build-from-box were all on offer, and you could find Destiny to do every hour of the day every day to get those tickets.
Better Prizes
Those prize tickets could be turned into MUCH better Destiny prizes this year. I earned quite a few tickets last year, and didn't walk away with a single Destiny related prize. Not so this year. The only thing that could have spiced up the prize wall even more would have been some marbled or sparkly Destiny dice. Oh, dare to dream.
Shorter Prize Wall Line
If you attended last year's Worlds then you know how terrible waiting in line to get those prizes were. The real culprit was limited available quantities and FFG stubbornly keeping the prize wall closed until noon each day. Fortunately FFG did a number of fixes that vastly decreased the wait time and line size.
Didn't Treat Media Poorly
FFG's treatment of the media was markedly improved over last year and you could see the quality of coverage improvement that went along with it. Digging into this too much airs a bit of dirty laundry so I won't go into details, but FFG went from an F to an A in just one year on this one.
The Bad
Short-changing Day 2
That extra day 1 turned into kind of a cluster with how the day 2 top cut shook out. My minor heart break story was going 7-2 and missing top 16 by placing 18th - nine other 7-2s made the cut and ten other 7-2s didn't. That feels bad, man, but not nearly as bad as the multiple people who went 4-2 on day 1 and 3-0 on day 2 and STILL didn't make the cut. Having an undefeated day 2 player miss the cut is an AWFUL system and needs remedied. Both the North American Championships and the US National Championship use the standard Swiss/cut ratio, why FFG short-changes its own biggest event is a real head-scratcher.
Weak Stance on Cheating and Bad Sportsmanship
FFG's stance against cheating and bad sportsmanship is just ridiculously weak. I understand you can't ban a player without solid evidence, but when you have a known player who has been reported multiple times, maybe put them on a "judge must watch every game" list and not wait until they get accused again.
Not Collecting Decklists Before Day 1 Began
The amount of night before teching was just too real at this year's Worlds. With day 1 spread over 3 days and deck lists only due at your day 1 registration, it was far too easy and compelling to tech in cards or entire decks against the upcoming field. While some may enjoy this hot-take meta game, I think its a far more fair system to have all players submit a decklist before play begins on the first day 1. FFG gave a pretty significant advantage to anyone playing on the second or third day 1, and Worlds should all be about a level playing field.
Long Side Event Wait Times
Side event wait times were just too long, with a couple pods I jumped into taking over 3 hours to launch. The demand far exceeded capacity, especially on the day when FFG lost the conference space to a wedding. That's right. The hotel that is a 2 minute walk from FFG got booked out during their World Championships to a wedding, and the real funny bit is this was the second year in a row this happened. Hopefully X-Wing getting its own Worlds fixes the space issue so that side events launch faster, and hopefully someone at FFG already booked out the conference space for 2019.
The Nitpicking
Why The Fuzzy Dice On Stream
Destiny streaming is an art, and every artist needs a good paintbrush. Okay, I'm stretching that one a bit...but both Destiny streams at Worlds were using 1080P cameras. Those cameras result in fuzzy dice sides and just a sub-par experience for those of us watching in living rooms yelling and cheering at the TV each time those dice get rolled...followed by some serious squinting and guessery. The fix is easy: buy a 4K camera but continue to stream at 1080P. Heck, I'll loan you my 4K camera for next Worlds since FFG won't give us a media badge to do our own recording.
More Zwirn Please
FFG needs to learn to treat their design staff like celebrities. A live QA session with Jeremy, a signing, a panel discussion, really just anything to showcase their talent and get them more exposed to the community would have been fantastic - especially just to give the guy an opportunity for a little more applause for making such a great game.

This question is answered on this sub all the time, but I'll answer it here.
Mic: Cheap USB mic that's good quality would be a Fifine K669 USB microphone. And here is a youtube link to how it sounds.
Camera: The standard webcam most use is the Logitech c920
New to vinyl here I bought a TT and a few records off a pal did some research and found out I bought a Crosley which from the posts on here is the worst thing in the world.
So I'm upgrading but finding the world of vinyl is quite daunting for beginners so I just wanna know if this setup would work:

Thanks in advance guys.

I would look at this setup
Amp - Denon RCDM40DAB £200 also available from RicherSounds for the same price.
Speakers - Pick one
Sub - If you need one that unit has a sub out on it so you can do a powered unit very easily. I would look at this Tannoy £100 or this Cambridge SX120 £150 if you want to push the budget.
What you want to achieve? Will it be full time recording, motion detection, for weather monitoring, or some kind of time lapse situation?
Since you have a PC in the room you could just get a USB webcam. You could use USB extension cables (up to five meters or 16 feet) if the computer isn't near the window. This Logitech camera reportedly works well in Linux.
If you want a full blown camera take a look at Foscams and UBNT AirCams.
The Foscams can be had for less than a hundred bucks on Amazon. This one can do 720p for about $100. It has remotely controlled pan & tilt features. A warning about Foscams, however: From my personal experience they need to be rebooted a lot and have lots of bugs. They are inexpensive, though.
UBNT AirCams go for around $100 and use Passive PoE (power over ethernet). Passive means there's no active checking for PoE support (not 802.3af or 802.3at compliant) it just injects power into the line continuously. The cameras don't have any zoom or pan & tilt features, but there is the airVision NVR product behind it. It's a pretty nice NVR product. This particular airCam would probably suit you nicely. Check out the UBNT airVision forum for more information.
ZoneMinder is a free software based NVR that can do both full time recording and motion detection recording. It's got a bit of a learning curve, but it's powerful and free. It can be used with any of the cameras mentioned above.
Beyond that just take a look at security or USB cameras on Amazon. You may find better or cheaper options.
If you are a Do It Yourself kind of person check out the Raspberry Pi. There is an active community here on Reddit for the Raspberry Pi. You can find several guides via a quick google search for setting up one to use as a security or weather camera.
Edit: Just to mention them, there are other NVR (Network Video Recorder) product available. Up on top of this list are the Blue Iris and Milestone software products. You can do a web search for them.
My webcam is 10 years old and I get made fun of by someone every time I'm on cam. This would kick ass. It's on the misc list.
Thanks for the contest!
I got this guy. It's super good.
Logitech HD Webcam C310 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003LVZO8S/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_yCZ1tb1HW6CAZPHZ
Drat!
These are great webcams for the money:
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Portable-1080p-Webcam-Autofocus/dp/B004YW7WCY
If you're interested, they can be had for 25-35 bucks used on ebay! Do let me know if you decide to spring for it.
edit: I sound like a Logitech shill, but this is also pretty good, and even cheaper. (1080p resolution is by no means necessary!):
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-960-000585-HD-Webcam-C310/dp/B003LVZO8S
Unfortunately it's not as simple as buying a USB to HDMI converter.
^(However it might be in which case someone please correct me but it seems unlikely)
While it may seem like an easy solution the usb on that camera is very likely only meant to be a data port i.e only meant for transferring files from one to the other, meaning it cannot transfer a live feed purely from converting to HDMI because it would be like trying to open a word document with a DVD player, it's just incompatible. You may however be able to plug into your PC with the USB cable and view a live feed if you right click the icon in My Computer, I have no idea of this specific cameras capabilities however but in general this is how it works.
For Skype this is likely something you wouldn't have much success with but vlogging should be fine if you just transfer the video files via the USB cable to the computer.
As far as Skype goes something like this should suffice for what it seems you want it to do (but for vlogging I'd assume you'd get a more pleasant image from the camera rather than the webcam)

Items 2 and 4 could be combined into this. Assuming your hardware handles the BT Stereo. Versatility speaks volumes when you like to jog/work out
As far as number 1, logitech is good quality. Their software that it comes with is crap but it works everything else like an ethical slut. Warning shameless plug Although you're not going to look bad on any medium...
3? I really only use a stereo system now which is pricey
I don't think you should focus on the built-in camera when looking for a laptop, you can buy a external one, which will be way better than most built-in and they're not expensive.
Look at these two for example:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003LVZO92
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003M2YT96
If you're gonna use your laptop only for skype calling and web browsing you could buy a 500~600$ laptop with a decent CPU and GPU and any camera you want IMO.
Honestly? I'd use your smartphone (assuming you have one).
Otherwise, the C270 is still a decent webcam.
For lighting, just get a desk lamp. No quality webcam will have lights on it.
Honestly I think the more reliable, best looking option would be to get a couple of cheap Logitech 270s along with the macbook cam as the primary.
Two of these are cheaper than the $44 manycam license:
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-designed-Calling-Recording/dp/B004FHO5Y6/
And you could probably resell/return one or both of them when you're done and get some of the money back.
You may want to get other opinions though, since I'm not super familiar with Macs and using multiple cams like this.
Not in any way that makes sense.
You could probably jury rig something using OBS screen capture, but it's really not worth the headache when you can get a 720p webcam for well under $50
Windows Stereo Mix is basically the "what you hear" sound. With Audacity you can record whatever windows is "hearing" meaning you can easily rip sound from whatever source online as long as you can play it back in some way. It's like Edison just not for FL but everything else.
You can use the unbalanced chinch connectors yes. With the headphone source switch you can change the output channel you want to listen to on your headphones. If you got your speakers connected to 1 and 2 that means you have to set it to 1-2 to hear the same output. You can either turn down the volume for the headphones independantly or you can switch to the other channel to shut them off.
Just get something like the Logitech C 270 for hassle-free voice chat. I use a webcam to chat and it's the best thing.
Or get a dynamic Shure SM58 mic and connect it to the interface :D
As everyone else has said--always go with the microphone first. Good audio quality is paramount to a good stream. If you're on a budget, I wouldn't recommend getting a Blue Yeti right off the bat. A lot of people think that the Blue Yeti is cruise control for great audio quality, but it requires a lot of work to get it sounding good because it's so sensitive.
I'd recommend getting a cheap dynamic mic as well as an audio interface. Those combined will be about 50 bucks--much more affordable than the Blue Yeti, and will be a lot easier to work with in the long run.
You'll also need a microphone arm, which is also why I recommend a cheaper mic. The Neewer 20 dollar arm is perfect for those starting out--if you went with the Blue Yeti, that same arm wouldn't work as well because the Yeti is just so heavy, and you'd need to buy an adapter because the arm isn't compatible with it right out of the box.
When you're ready to get a new webcam, I'd recommend with Logitech C270. It's only 20 bucks right now and you're able to stream at 720p without any issues. You're a small streamer, so you shouldn't really worry too much about 1080p--especially since even the bigger streamers only stream at 720p anyway.
You can get a webcam on Amazon for about $22: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Desktop-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B004FHO5Y6/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1494217946&amp;sr=1-5&amp;keywords=webcam | I hope they've gotten back to you at this point.

Amazon
I just bought my second Logitech c615, which I've used sparingly for years, but somehow lost in my most recent move. It's been fine for my purposes and is one of the models that WGU recommends. Although Logitech sells it for $70, it's $35.59 from Amazon and BestBuy, at least.
I can only recommend the c615 because I've used it, but the cheaper Logitech c270 looks fine too if you're really looking spend even less. It's available for ~$20 on Amazon, BestBuy, and Walmart.
EDIT: I saw the field of view for the c270 is 60 degrees, while the WGU required specs says it should be at least 70 degrees. The c615 is 78 degrees, and is one that WGU recommends anyway.
Here's one from Amazon for 20 dollars
This $20 webcam will do the trick. Your built in camera might be good enough quality but I think you’d much prefer an external cam bc of the maneuverability.
You can start playing right away! The cam check approval is needed to enter tournaments- and yes, for that you need about 12-20 ranked games completed and then a mod needs to check it. “Ranked games” just means an equalizer or ladder match which is what most everyone plays anyway.
This setup is the bees kneez for a budget:
I purchased all of these and it works great, The cam is not 1080p but it's good quality for Webcam darts.
Do you have a webcam? That's what I'm using to record myself so I can watch my hands and identify errors that need to be fixed. I've only been playing for a year, but a few months into playing I bought a $25 logitech webcam from amazon Logitech C270 and it's really helped me improve, and I can recommend this model. I just wanted to have something that would clearly show the strings and not get too blurred, which is the problem I had with using my phone. I also use it for skype calls and whatnot, so I consider it a decent $25 investment until I get better and want "real" recording equipment. If you want to see what the recordings look like on it, you can look at some of my vids:
https://www.youtube.com/user/keypenboardcil
The Logitech C270 is an acceptable webcam. I still have mine somewhere so I'll see if I can find it and I'll give some comparison shots between it and the C920.
Update: I found it! I made a comparison video for you. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZD5MwoCS8w
I have been using this guy: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FHO5Y6. Not sure if this falls into your Low cost requirements or not ($21.99 with Prime).
Here are a couple of time lapses I did with Octoprint. Used Octoprint to create time lapse, downloaded from server, uploaded to youtube then converted the youtube video to gif. So it loses a bit of clarity, but still gives you a general idea of what to expect.
I printed this guy: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1763126 to hold it, but there are a ton of options on thingiverse.com if you don't like it.
Thanks for trying! My Chromebook is using both the embedded cam and this guy together:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FHO5Y6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 - so far anything logitech has worked great.
We use this one, and while we haven’t tested any others, it seems to work nicely. Logitech C525
Logitech HD Webcam C525, Portable HD 720p Video Calling with Autofocus https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004WO8HQ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_aMn7BbVM31GSN
The Logitech C920 is a great webcam and from what I've seen, is the most recommended webcam on this subreddit. It appears to be £55.99 on Amazon at the moment. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-C920-Webcam-Auto-Focus-Microphone/dp/B006A2Q81M
For a webcam, this will be the best bet and is pretty much the go-to cam. It's 1080p HD and has a built-in mic.
>Is there any site that lets you cam for bitcoins ?
Not that I'm aware of. Why bitcoins? Is there a reason you want them as payment specifically, or is that just an option? Because only taking bitcoins will limit your pool of potential paying customers to those who know, understand an use bitcoins, rather than the wider population who use traditional currency.
Do you have any sites you're considering using? Or are you still working that out?
a 25£ na .co.uk (compra com o revolut para evitares as taxas de conversão)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006A2Q81M?tag=22
It's still the C920.
If you're in the UK, you're in luck.

I can only speak from experience, but we've got this definitely very expensive one and it seems to work well enough with the webcam feed in the corner of our stream
If you can afford to drop a bit of cash, I've heard many people recommend the Logitech C920 but I can't really speak for it myself.
Personally using this mouse, and loving it! The extra grip helps too. :)

Hey.
I'm looking to record guitar videos for YouTube. I'm recording the audio via my audio interface, so the sound quality of the camera doesn't matter at all.
Ideally I'd like I camera I can control, or at the very least monitor with my computer. So I can set it up, and record takes etc with my PC.
Would I get a good step up going from a webcam like this to a $200ish camera?
If so, can you recommend one for my use?
I'm a bit confused about your question. Do you have a webcam? Or are you just asking about a position to put the webcam?
If the former, you'll need a USB webcam, easy to set up. The C920 is a popular choice, but really anything from Logitech is good.
I know it's a Logitech webcam, but this has great reviews
So I've found this amp - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hi-Fi-Integrated-Digital-Stereo-Amplifier/dp/B00G503KCO/ref=sr_1_8?rps=1&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1483810178&amp;sr=8-8&amp;keywords=Stereo%2BIntegrated%2BAmplifier&amp;th=1
and these speakers
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wharfedale-Diamond-Speakers-Pair-Walnut/dp/B0019410ZK/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i
would this be able to connect to my record player
my record player an output called audio output - L R
My suggestion
This amplifier
These bookshelf speakers
This subwoofer
Edit - the bookshelf speakers come in a few different finishes, so you can choose whatever you like on those. The sub is only in black, I think.
I’ve looked around quite a bit and Wharfedale are the only ones hard to get replacements for lol, this is what I would do.
It would give you a spare but I’m in the UK and you would have to use a U.S site..
Possible Solution
Just get a cheap webcam. This is the one I used for 3 years: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-960-000585-HD-Webcam-C310/dp/B003LVZO8S/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2MK1BSM9QO7CA&keywords=logitech+webcam&qid=1562811042&s=gateway&sprefix=logi%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-9
&#x200B;
It's very straightforward and every course has a "practice" exam that has you go through the motions. Just don't try to cheat because you think you can get away with it since it's setup like this! I have been in classes with people that got caught and they take it very seriously.
These are available for $159, if that's outside your price range I'd suggest a pair of Logitec C310 webcams. I don't know if the OVRVision camera does hardware synchronization, but with the Logitech cams you'll definitely need to synchronize the camera in software to get good depth data (or to keep your brain from getting really confused)
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-960-000585-HD-Webcam-C310/dp/B003LVZO8S/ref=zg_bs_172511_2
How's that one look? I have a $25 promo credit from an order that amazon messed up, but don't have prime. I'd have to figure out what else to buy for 10 bucks...
Logitech C310, but I would just wait for the C920 to go on sale since it frequently goes down to $50. It's a way better webcam than the C310.
I'm not 100% sure, but it's probably no to the first and maybe to the second. Most laptops only have a video output port, not an input port, so there would be no way to output video from your PC to your laptop screen. As far as the webcam goes, AFAIK only one instance of OBS can stream to a channel at any given time, so you couldn't stream the webcam from your laptop and the game from your PC at the same time. The only way I can think of to do that would be to have a video chat open between your PC and your laptop and capture the display from the video chat (what the laptop's webcam is showing) on the PC.
There are some pretty decent low-cost webcams like the [Logitech C310] (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-960-000585-HD-Webcam-C310/dp/B003LVZO8S/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Logitech+C310&amp;qid=1558105229&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-2), which is what I use. Honestly, your lighting setup is just as important as your webcam, if not more important.
Links for the lazy:
c310
c920
Mid-low end mic technology hasn't changed in the last decade so for 90% of purposes any $10 mic will do.
No one really uses a stand alone mic for VOIP/SKYPE anymore since they're built into so many devices, but you can probably get USB mic or MIC/Webcam for really cheap.
I set up a price watch on this webcam for when it next falls below $49.99. But that's a high quality webcam for streaming for Twitch.
You can save even more by getting one of these now. (60% off now)
Also could someone please tell me if this webcam would be good for streaming? I saw that it was on sale and am very tempted.
So I have a Logitech C910 which has since been succeeded by the C920. I didn't pay anywhere near the list price for it though because I got it on a Black Friday sale a few years back. I invested a bit more in my camera because back then it was my primary point of contact for my girlfriend and some friends who live around the country.
That being said, I'm a big fan of the Logitech brand and the C910 was my second Logitech camera. In terms of budget webcams, I have heard good things about the C310: Here
Oddly enough it looks like it might actually be the deal of the day for about $15 off of what Amazon usually sells it for (you can see that info here: Price Tracker)
The Microsoft Lifecams Here are nice too, but a bit more expensive and I've had a little more trouble with those. My girlfriend has a Lifecam and the picture quality is great, but for whatever reason her computer has trouble detecting it. In order to make it work she has to unplug and replug the camera each time she boots her PC. I'm not saying that's common, just an issue I've personally been involved with.
Desktop mic
Clip-On mic
HD Webcam with mic
Although, yes, duct taping a microphone to the side of a pair of headphones is also a perfectly viable solution. I've seen some people do it. There are plenty of options besides buying an overpriced piece of crap "gaming" product.
C920 Webcam https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_D.LMzbNQDJJZ1
Definitely the one of the best webcams out there, mostly positive reviews. But if you're trying to get one for 30,
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003LVZO8S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_MaMMzb5F8KM3F
This would be a decent pick. 720p cam.
I would absolutely LOVE this webcam. I write for a website online, and they want me to livestream some games but my computer doesn't exist anymore. With this webcam I could still contribute to the video streams and the live webcasts so I won't be as absent now that I don't have a computer anymore. I have access to one at night and one or two days a week, but not one of my own (long story involving a literal explosion).
Conviviality is one of thsoe words you don't hear all too often.
My mistake; I completely forgot about that part.
Unfortunately, getting a good monitor that has a built in camera is hard to find these days.
My recommendation is to go with a cheap webcam that you can attach to any monitor [like this one] (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-960-000585-HD-Webcam-C310/dp/B003LVZO8S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1425845326&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=logitech+webcam) and then attach it to a cheaper monitor [like this one] (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/aoc-monitor-e2425swd) to stay in your price range, but that monitor does not support IPS so your viewing angles will suffer, but the monitor is signifigantly cheaper and got good reviews. If the webcam is necessary, that option looks the best.
Hello, Goodbye~
web cam
In all honesty, the Cam and Mic that I use in my setup is probably the best "budget" equipment.
Webcam:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003LVZO8S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Mic:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K72ENKE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
But to be honest, the mic isn't the best for streaming. It has a good sound for recording YouTube videos especially since you can edit the mic quality, but the mic does have a weird static background noise. It's barely audible, especially when streaming a louder game, but the mic does sound great, especially if you're just starting out (which I'm assuming you are).
Edit: Kinda forgot to mention, but I also had to buy a scissor arm.
It's a great idea, though I can't offer much in the way of concrete suggestions without knowing more about your setup, intended lesson style and budget.
I know that my planning to do something similar involves setting up a separate webcam on my projector, facing the board, and just recording from there.
I'm looking at a couple of options, depending on how much I have to spend. The only rub there is that the cable spec on USB is only about 16 ft, which makes the setup kind of annoying.
As for the actual video editing, I point out Wikipedia's comparison of various editing tools, and that anything licensed under the GPL or LGPL should be free to use.
The actual "posting online" part is something I'm still yet to settle on, but I've heard good things about TeacherTube.
Thanks, it seems that there is a newer version out as well and it's even cheaper. This one looks like a possibility. Only $75 on Amazon right now.
1080p C910
If you search the reviews there are a bunch of mac people using this one too.
I'm using Skype in Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 64bit edition, with at Logitech c910 web cam and it works flawlessly in Linux. Best web cam I've ever seen (plug in play; just works in Linux and the skype beta).
I think I had to check additional software sources (partner), then I was able to install skype the normal way: sudo apt-get install skype
It works flawlessly. It allows me to share either of my monitors at anytime, and the video works great. I never could get this going with Empathy, so I must commend Skype for their development.
For a cam I would suggest this https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Desktop-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B004FHO5Y6
It doesn't look spectacular but it's cheap and looks fine when it's just a portion of the screen.
And for the mic I'd suggest just messing around with your settings, that'll fix almost any audio balance problem. That way you don't blow anything now and you can save up for a good mic!
It may be hard to fit an i5, as the difference in price is quite large, so it may start to stretch your budget. A higher-end CPU won't give you as much of a boost in gaming as a better GPU (which I've managed to fit into a revised list).

The deal that /u/Lavendar13 suggested is great, but would go over your build's budget in its current state, and could potentially require an update that you'd be unable to perform without another CPU. You mentioned video/photo-editing as something you may do, but I'm not sure of the gains an i5 would have over an i3 in that regard.
The build mock-up as it is now is very close to your maximum budget, leaving a bit of room for a cheap mic and a webcam. I'm not sure about webcam prices and such, so I don't know how well the budget would accommodate something like that.
EDIT:
The Logitech C270 webcam is $25 on Amazon and has a microphone built into it, it seems. I can't speak for the quality, but it seems to be alright based on the customer reviews on Amazon and the reviews given on Engadget. It'd put you over budget by $7, however (which could be accommodated for by finding alternatives for a few components).
Also, is it possible for you to use Dreamspark for an OS?

do you think this would work?
Logitech C270
I have an older model of this and it works well enough. It's on sale for $20 as well, so that's good.
I've used F2P clients before, and while they work it's not the same as paper magic. Being able to have a group of people other than a local scene is really nice. The webcam think I understand but there is one on most laptops and a pretty cheap one that does well:https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Desktop-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B004FHO5Y6/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1498360780&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=logitech+webcam

I got https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-designed-Calling-Recording/dp/B004FHO5Y6 for Skype for a player who is out of town. It's worked pretty well.
This is a popular one, already has a long cable and a case, and tons of printer mounts made for it.

My Setup:
An old logitech () I got to skype with my bro a couple years back. While using OBS to connect to you tube. https://obsproject.com/
Buy a disposable video camera for it. Here's one for under $25
Or save an old smartphone when you get a replacement.
I think the Logitech series are probably the most frequently recommended:
I used this for a few weeks. After tweaking the settings, everything looked absolutely fine, I only ended up upgrading because the c920 was on sale at the time.
This is a step down from what Im running at my office. Its been a dream:

This is the only webcam I find close to your budget. It's a 720p cam, but I can't attest to how well it works.
I use this - Logitech HD Webcam C270, 720p and the image is pretty clear, for the $25 I spent. Just keep in mind to give yourself some good lighting if you plan to use a cam.

Does this look like an acceptable webcam ? Is there an article someone can direct me to read more about playing on skype

I have this one. Used once and has been sitting in storage for like years.
Just a really cheap logitech one, let me find it
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FHO5Y6?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01
i'd just get 2 of the cheaper monitors and buy a webcam. the built in one is like 2 megapixels, pretty shitty. i suggest this:

Hey! Welcome to Twitch!
This is a great idea for a school project! Here are some things to take into consideration:
You'll need a machine from which you'll be able to broadcast the livestream. A decently modern desktop computer will do (lets say an i5, 4GB RAM minimum and a GTX 970 or better if possible)
On that computer you'll need a broadcasting program. Heres a list of programs recommended by Twitch. Note that some are free and some are payware. It all depends on what you need. Have a look which one will satisfy all your needs (like the video playlist you mentioned for the pre-recorded footage)
For the external camera you can either do it by using a good quality webcam like the Logitech C920 or by using a DSLR and hooking it up via HDMI, using Elgato CamLink
Microphone is also up to you. You can either get a microphone which youll plug in via a 3.5mm jack or get a USB microphone. This will depend on the style of content that you'll be producing (like interview, voiceover, podcast etc)
Let me know if you have any other questions and keep us up to date if the project turns out well!
GLHF!
Nice catch!
And following up on what Kraken said above.
A second HDD in a Raid 1 configuration, I would recommend just for the security in which if data is lost it can be recovered immediately.
And in response to the OP :
>A HD webcam for conference calls, in addition to a gaming headset.....so wrap around headphones with mic. I'm looking for an across the board black theme.
I use this Logitech webcam and have no issues with it at all, added bonus is that it is currently on sale for £57.
This Sennheiser has some good reviews, suits the black theme while also being 'wrap-around'.
But, if you wanted a Black Gaming headset - I currently use this one
There of course could be other choices, but I can personally back up the webcam and the second headset.
Amazon had the C920 on sale yesterday for 50 usd. I just checked my email to see if they were still on sale, but it's back up to 68 usd.
There is one for sale on UK Amazon for £53.99 right now. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-C920-Pro-1080p-Webcam/dp/B006A2Q81M/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1475073184&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=c920

and so :)
It all depends on budget.
Blue Yeti Microphone // c920 Webcam // Behringer Mixer
3 links to what you would need, if you have a decent budget, you might want to use an XLR microphone for your audio mixer, but then you would have to find a way to chat to people ingame (If you were playing CSGO for example).

im thinking about this webcam but can you suggest any others ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-C920-Pro-Webcam-Recording/dp/B006A2Q81M/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1539456448&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=webcam&amp;th=1

Try the UK one?
Logitech C920. Bought it recently and It's hands down the best webcam I've ever seen in my life. It's definitely worth the price.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-960-000767-C920-HD-Webcam/dp/B006A2Q81M?tag=gdext-21
Okay right off the bat, if you are going to do that sort of style with real life stuff you need a good camera. If you can't afford a camera, I can recommend the Logitech C920 HD Webcam at about £60. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-960-000767-C920-HD-Webcam/dp/B006A2Q81M/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1370166313&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Webcam
Not going to lie to you, I cringed at the first bit and this really just put me off watching the rest of the video. You need to make me feel invited to watch your video, not make me cringe within the first few seconds.
Some gameplay in there would have been good too, a lot of the time with these types of videos people are there for the gameplay, but you said that you were going to have some there so make sure you have it if you make this public.
I hope this helps.
Is there any specific reason as to why you want use this over a C920 for example? I can't answer your Camera question, but if you end up having to look for a webcam, definitely choose that! :)
Hey!
I need a webcam and a microphone for my newly built pc.
The Logitech HD Pro C920, considered by many the best webcam, is discounted at 69€ from [Amazon.it] (http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B006A2Q81M/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A2N53IRCLUZLCE) at the moment.
It records at 1080, and I don't think I'll ever need that resolution.
Can you recommend a good webcam (720 30fps), orientable and with a good microphone built in?
Without affiliate link
Damn, bought mine from Currys for £50 the other week, it was £50 on Amazon too despite the £90 price shown but with a two week wait.
http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Logitech-C920-Webcam-Auto-Focus-Microphone/product/B006A2Q81M?context=browse
Can I safely assume this webcam will have no problems allowing me to use the freelook in Star Citizen?https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The Logitech c920 is $40 with prime or $50 without. Pretty solid webcam.
If you want to record high quality content for a mid level price range you have a few options. First: I would look into getting a webcam, the Logitech c920 is great for the price, and puts out phenomenal qudio/video quality for what you're looking for.
Second - You'll need a capture card. These can be pretty expensive, so you may want to look at an older model that supports something like 720p30fps
Here is an example of the one I use for console, mind you this is probably the most important part of recording quality gameplay so you can see what's going on. As far as recording, Elgato gives you a free software that runs the capture card footage through to OBS, and you can resize/crop the facecam on top of the scene within OBS itself and set your recording audio levels so that as soon as you hit record/stop record, the video is good to go and watchable as a cute lets play from your daughter.
budget version of the logitech c920? Looking for something with decent vid quality and a mic
When I was shopping for mine, I got a lot of recommendations for this. I was surprised at the price, but pretty amazed at the results.

Any modern decent computer with a core i5 CPU and more than 4 GBs of ram should be fine... But if he's gonna play game... Well, I guess he needs a gaming computer and those are not cheap. =(
Camera: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S
Mic: https://www.amazon.com/Samson-Mic-Portable-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B001R76D42/
A pair of those: https://www.amazon.com/Arriba-Cases-AP30-Desk-Lamp/dp/B00T0IJD4W
Now, he needs to know how use both of them. He needs to know how to erase the noise in the Microphone and he needs to know how config the camera to get a good image, and he need to know how to use two-point lighting. There tutorials for this all over Youtube.

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S
$62 but this is an amazing webcam, use this one for business meetings, great quality. The Logitech 310 (720p-only but $35) is good too if that one is out of your price range.
Logitech C920 HD Pro Webcam, but if you're looking for something a lot cheaper, but still some quality, Microsoft L2 LifeCam HD-3000 USB 2.0
It's gone up? Are you sure? When I bought mine about 16 months ago it was $90 USD, now they are $62.
You mention budget, but haven't said anything about how much of a budget for a camera. That said, C920 is what most people use and recommend, as well as myself. Right now it's on sale for $50 at most places. Can't go wrong with that. It's also compatible with the iMac and Macbook.

As for the mic, if you are streaming via the PS4, you can still chat in game. However, since you're streaming via the HD60, that chat will be picked up and sent to the stream as well.
Hey!

&#x200B;
I wouldn't bother with a streamdeck just yet. I use OBS Streamlabs and it has a deck a bit like that, that you can use in a smartphone. And it's free =D
&#x200B;
Besides hardware, the best advice I can give is to be consistent and stick to a time and day of week. Select when and try to not skip his stream dates. And also, build community. Social media works great for that and small things, like learning the usernames of the people that watch him, so that he can say hi when they come. =)

sorry I sold that c920 to another redditor.
amazon is having a sale on them for $49.95

I'd say look into a better capture card, look into an El Gato if you plan to stream more Smash 4 or a used HD PVR for more Melee/PM but it should do fine for Smash 4 as well. If you are looking for webcams, Logitech C920 are pretty good starter cameras and they are around 50 bucks right now (half off). That is as much as I can help, but I am also not really well versed in streaming as others are.

ALWAYS remember that people can forgive bad video but they will never EVER forgive bad audio speeking of that your recording software it was really lagy and kinda buged me after a wile. when you colab with someone make sure that they have a good mic and sound quality otherwise it will bring your video's quality down.

Software
(i am glad to hear you have obs there are lots of youtube videos that explain how to set the settings for youtube or twitch so i would sugest looking that up also if you are going to do a face cam this is importent you need NEED to record it separate from your game capture otherwise you risk having the game video and the video of you being un synced try recording your game with OBS and your face cam with Xsplit)

Logitech C920.
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B006JH8T3S
Heres what I use for streaming.
Camera : logitech c920 https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1491446015&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=C920
And mic: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01142EPO4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Both are wonderful. :) I recommend if you get this mic that you use a sponge cover for it.
Here's what I use.
A full green screen/light kit for $100. Usually goes on sale for $80.
Webcam.
One of my highlights for reference.
There is not 'best' camera. If you want best, you can get an SLR, lol. Any HD camera will do, even 720p would be fine since you're going to be shrinking the footage anyways. Most people don't stream higher than 720p I've noticed.
The Logitech cameras are the most commonly recommended; specifically the Logitech C920
I'm sure you can find something similar for cheaper and/or more recent.
Can't go wrong with a USB mic for simplicity.

USB web cams also aren't very expensive and might be easier then rigging up your phone which could have interuptions from notifications and what not. This is the top one on amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1418677236&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=hd+webcam
I was thinking about using multiple http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B006JH8T3S/ for different angles at the table. But I lack the appropriate lingo to google how to receive multiple video inputs, capture them, broadcast them using OBC or Xsplit.
Do you have any archived footage of those streams?
Get yourself one of these. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1421169191&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=logitech+webcam
Less than $100, super high quality webcam.
I use it with a green screen and chroma key, and it works perfectly. I'd just use that.
Hey there! I don't know much at all about hand-helds, I can only reccommend what I know and use.
I most recently use the Logitech C920 for my videos. I'm assuming that if you're filming reviews in front of your computer, that portability is not an issue?
And because of the terrible webcam audio that seems to plague all webcams, the Blue Snowball is a terrific, budget starter mic to give you some great sound at a terrific price.
Both are USB, the Snowball is plug and play, but the camera comes with nifty mini recording package that you can install and start using right away to shoot video.
What are you using to record your audio now? If you're looking for something low budget to start with this web cam has a pretty decent mic in it, very good quality for a $50 web cam: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S
Told you I'd get back to you! I don't find Meerkat or Periscope useful for a full length show because I learned it'll look like crap, microphone or not. HOWEVER, what I DID start doing a month or so ago was live stream in another manner. Here's how and it's AWESOME.
&nbsp;
If you've ever used Twitch you know it's primarily for watching people play video games. However, they have recently allowed people to do creative things on it under the channel "Creative". What you'll need is software called XSplit broadcaster (there are other options but this is the one I use) and some basic Logitec USB2 webcams off of Amazon and some Blue Yeti mics off amazon as well. You can use this to set up a stream in the creative category and you can incorporate the chat box, skype calls, or anything else you want to give it the live show feel.
&nbsp;
This is an example of what we've been doing lately. Here's our newest episode so you can see if it's what you're trying to achieve (or something like it). Let me know if I can be of anymore help. Good luck!
Do you mean the presence of a facecam? I would recommend getting a nice webcam and microphone (I use this and this, respecitvely). They're not prohibitively expensive and can get you a level of recording quality that's a touch higher than the average dime-a-dozen LP. You'll have to do some experimenting with your video editing to figure out how you want to frame it, but that comes with trial and error. For example, I elected to make my gameplay off-center so that the facecam doesn't cover it up (unless the game is widescreen in which case I have no choice), and put my logo in the remaining negative space.
not sure if you're trying to pick it up for less but i just purchased it for $50 from amazon. Which is a really good price
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1521733950&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=c920

I want to get a Logitech HD Webcam.
I have opened up more and become less of a shutin and opportunities to use one have come up and I want to use this for em. Youtube.. twitch..skype all kinds of things. I Just wanna get in and show my friends and distant family the real me. =D Dont really need it but i want to do this.
Also bruh... that tater.. christ its going to give me nightmares. Where did you even find that? I bet I can do worse.... hows This???
I'm recording with a Logitech C920 Webcam which I attached to the headstock of my guitar via a GorillaPod.
You want a Logitech C920.
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S
It's roughly 6x as much as the most common webcam, even.
First off, I appreciate the reply. From a budget standpoint, I am now debating about snagging a webcam like a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 and calling it a day or purchasing the full version of SparkoCam and using the D90. I wish SparkoCam wasn't $60 for the full version. I will test out the D90 with the trial version as well to see if there is a timer on the video.
The [$63.99 Logitech C920] (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20) works just fine with OBS, as seen [here, with setup instructions] (https://youtu.be/AdhEXCtSQGo).
Hope this is helpful, good luck with your streaming project and Happy New Year!
If you have a gopro I would rock that. But those are super expensive. They make really good webcams nowadays however that are much cheaper and would record in better quality. This all asssumes you have good lighting where you will be recording.
For instance
Hi there!
I currently use a Sony DSC-HX60V, but I used to use a Logitech C920 (which appears to be the standard now) and would record everything on one PC

I got my mom a Blu-Ray edition of a live concert featuring Chicago with Earth, Wind & Fire. She loves both bands, and we grew up listening to them on LP and cassette tape.
Also, since I live halfway around the world (USA to South Korea), I got her a new high-def webcam so we can video chat a little easier.
Of course, those will be followed up with a card that will arrive closer to the actual day, and 1-2 calls on Mother's Day.

This is what I use and it's very good
Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920, 1080p Widescreen Video Calling and Recording https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_LBCywbZMRSRR9
For the budget conscious. Estimated costs for this project assuming there is a computer of sufficient power is ~$281. This will give a live interface to record the sessions.
OBS Studio for the software. Refer to this page for minimum specs for the PC check youtube for tutorial videos. It can stream to Twitch, youtube, as well as record local. Plus later on you can add the cards and pilot data as an overlay.
Grab an HP C920 or your favorite webcam. You can use multiple web cams if you want a mat+dice multiview output. There are many creative ways to mount the camera above the mat.
For general audio a Jabra 510 speakerphone is fantastic and will grab all audio in a 10-13 ft radius. For commentator audio, a blue yeti is a great start.
Those three items will get you started and provide enough quality to run for a bit. You are welcome to substitute items but that is a solid package. For edit later and post a gopro is a simple reliable package.
Depends on the budget, I would go for this on the [cheaper end] (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1505600367&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=webcam)
and some thing like [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Cam-Link-streaming-recording/dp/B0748QYPX9/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1505600450&amp;sr=1-5&amp;keywords=elgato) to use higher end cameras
Very generous of you! I hope you find lots of happiness i life, and giving can be one of the best joys!
I'm looking for a decent webcam, found the Logitech c920 for $64 that should suit my needs.
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S
Thanks for doing this!
FPS is easy. Latency depends on your PC and your network connection.
Motion blur is also easy, just don't have a crappy sensor.
Using the microphone in a camera is just laughable.
Get a Logitech C920 for your camera, Antlion ModMic for your microphone.

You need a real 1080P webcam: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-960-000764/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1381794035&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=logitech+webcam
I use a dinky little $20 one from Walmart, and it works fine. If you're looking for something of a little higher quality, this one is often recommended: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S
For webcam, I use the Logitech C920. I've had it for a few years now, and it's been great. It's also much cheaper now since there are newer models out. If it's for a laptop, the only thing is it might be hard to mount it on top of your screen without it falling off. So consider getting a separate mount that can attach to your desk.

I thought you were going to stream 1080p? That is only a 30fps@720p camera.
I really like Logitech products and if it were me I would buy the big brother to the camera you chose. It is 30fps@1080p.

Ahh... dude... Amazon
I even got it for 50 in Amazon.
I suggest the Logitech c920 for a good webcam (1080p) under $100.
Not sure about udner $400 because there are a lot more factors, so I did a search.
hope this helps!
Nah you’re all good. Just wanted to make sure you didn’t waste your time like I did ha. I’m gonna purchase this one here, in the next little bit.
In case you were curious haha.
ohh and how do you do that? This is the cam i have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JH8T3S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I use an editor called CyberlinkPower Director 14, so i guess i can add the cam recording to the video there?
It's on sale at Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JH8T3S?pldnSite=1
I did the recording at GenCon and Brony CAN.
The cheapest way to do this with pretty good results is to get a light stand and boom arm. Then attach a Logitech C920 webcam (has a 1/4" mount) up to the end of it and plug it into a laptop.
And yeah, you'll want diffuse lighting. I had a major issue with that at BronyCAN.
We are both using the Logitech C920s. And thank you very much! :)

Buy a green screen like this one about $60 and a cheap webcam for $50 and for lighting $60
I highly recommend the Logitech C920 which is $60 but I think it's worth it. By far the best webcam I've used and probably will ever use. 1080p, 60 fps, the lighting and quality's great, and the picture's pretty wide.
The logitech c920 is usually the standard nowadays. It's actually on sale on amazon for $50 today. It's usually around $80.

I have a friend who lives in Korea and I would like to buy her a gift from Amazon without notifying her as a surprise. I have her address and I have selected the item I would like to buy from Amazon.

I was going to mention the webcam issue. I'd recommend this one.
The c90 is now on sale. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JH8T3S
You need a USB extender. For Keith and The Girl podcast, I have a 4 camera setup which uses a 33ft USB extender for each camera. It works really well for our live shows and we record for hours off them without any problems. One important thing is to make sure they're running off of individually powered USB ports because the camera and extension cable both need power to work.
You can see the videos we create on our YouTube channel http://YouTube.com/keithandthegirl
Edit: formatting
I don't think the Logitech 900 series webcameras are that in your face and it matches my UW setup pretty well. Granted I didn't recently move over from apple fashion tech like you but I think it's about as in your face as an imac camera. I never notice it up there unless I need it and it works really well. Here is my setup on top of my u3415w with the flip cover installed, hopefully this helps.
PICS
If that didnt help maybe a round one will work? Or a square one? Or maybe just place it below your monitor? You could always just hide it behind the monitor when not in use.

All Amazon, so you can take full advantage of that sweet, fast, free Prime shipping! Other vendors had slightly lower prices but I have the feeling that Hawaii shipping would kill the savings.

I went slightly overkill on the PSU. It has flawless stability and is fully modular. I feel like a build of this price deserves a top notch PSU, but since you're not overclocking, it's not entirely necessary. You could save $30 by going down to this one, and be fine with no performance impact.
One last thing: The GTX 1070 is coming out on June 10 at $379. It's expected to be more powerful than the 980 Ti (which a $600 card), making it much stronger and a much better value than the 970 I put in the build. It does put you over budget, and supply is likely to be an issue when it launches, so you may end up waiting longer than you'd prefer. I would personally wait, but if you'd like to dig in ASAP, I suggest buying EVGA. They have a step-up program that lets you upgrade within 90 days of purchase, provided you register your product within 15 days. Check it out and think it over!
we use these on our printers.

OpenCV probably doesn't support your webcam. Unfortunately, support for built-in webcams is pretty abysmal in OpenCV. I had to use an external camera during development. This is the one I am borrowing from my gf:

Any cheap webcam that can plug in via USB should work.
Thank you for starting the Mac instructions. Will get them up in a few minutes
you should check out the Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 Webcam
Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000
Reviewed pretty well as a budget webcam
Hmmm.. it seems like there doesn't exist a webcam mount meant for being under the monitor, so you may either have to DIY your own solution, or get a desk webcam like one of these(sorry if this isn't a good webcam, I just randomly picked one that looked like what I said). Good to know tho, keeping the balance between form and function is always the best idea.
If you are looking for a more budget-friendly webcam, then the
Microsoft LifeCam Cinemais for you. It has a maximum resolution of 720p, with HD video up to 30 FPS. It sits on a 360-degree swivel mount and the True Color Technology automatically boosts the image quality of the broadcast.Pros:

I use this external webcam.
It's got a really good mic built in.
That said, do it. You can get a wired USB LAN Adapter for like 10 bucks off of Amazon. I got This one, and it works perfectly. Or, you could buy the Wii U version and play in glorious HD with my favorite controller, the Wii U Pro Controller.
Just wanted to confirm that this did indeed do the job. I purchased the exact same wired adapter over the weekend and it has increased my online enjoyment tenfold.
Here's a link to the USA one
I did have a similar issue sometime back with one of my ethernet adapters. I was trying one of these on this recommendation, and it worked well enough for a few months, but then I noticed that the internet started dropping out completely for my Wii U unless I either did a Connection Test or unplugged and replugged the adapter itself - and the first time I did the latter, I think the reason became somewhat obvious.
The adapter was running very hot, and apparently overheating. Throwing it into a freezer for a few minutes cooled it and helped it run longer, so I'm almost positive it was a heat issue of some sort (first time I'd ever heard of a ethernet adapter overheating). I fell back on a old Nintendo Wii ethernet adapter, and it's been fine since.
I don't know exactly how your internet is set up or anything or if you use WiFi or Ethernet, but I guess my point is, that error message only cropped up for me once the adapter started failing, so maybe something's failing on your end somewhere?
I picked up one of these Utech Smart adapters and it seems to have worked fine for the past few months.
http://www.amazon.com/Network-Adapter-UtechSmart-Ethernet-Chromebook/dp/B00CBD2X5E
In answer to your question about the LAN adapter, you will need one that is specifically compatible with the Wii U but it doesn't need to be Nintendo's own. I just bought one from Amazon that works just fine and it's currently going for about $15 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CBD2X5E/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_UF6Fub19W4K4A
This one is cheaper (-$1):
http://www.amazon.com/Support-UtechSmart-Ethernet-Chromebook-Specific/dp/B00CBD2X5E
Without lights, doesn't explicitly state for WiiU:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ET4KHJ2?psc=1
> If your router is overwhelmed you would see it on other devices not just the Wii U. You should also be able to give it your Wii U Mac address so it gives you priority while being on Wifi.
The Wii U connects via 2.4ghz wifi. Most routers offer primary wifi @ 5ghz and allow clients to connect @ 2.4ghz, but the connectivity/speed is shoddy. Because of this, the Wii U can actually can lag over wifi while every other device on the network can be fine.
*OP should just buy this: [Support Wii, Wii U; ASIX AX88772 chipset]UtechSmart USB 2.0 to 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN Wired Network Adapter for $11.
Get a LAN adapter.
Personally I wouldn't use anything other than this.
This one works just fine.
Choose any adapter that uses the ASIX AX88772 chipset. The Wii and WIi U worked with this chipset so it likely will with the Switch.
Here is the one I bought but there are many others to choose from.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CBD2X5E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
This is the one I'm currently using, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CBD2X5E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 firsthand it's been great. Super stable and it connects very easily. I can't help you with that particular one you're eying but in general I can say they're an awesome investment.
You can get it on Amazon!
I'm looking at that one or this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CBD2X5E/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A1QTGXAMH2TVVP
I figure my link is probably "newer" technology, but that could be false. I just want to get the best one I can. Like I said, the wifi here is beyond bogus.
You could try getting a network adapter. It won't exactly fix the problem, but will route around it.
My wii U wireless used to work great then it became intermittent and eventually would only would connect for a short time once in a while. It was not a signal or configuration issue. I was able to run a wired connection to it and bought this utechsmart adapter and the internet is rock solid since. Cheaper than sending in for repair.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CBD2X5E?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
This exactly. The WiFi is spotty at best, honestly I'm starting to hate WiFi in general. This is what I use and it works great. Hopefully you find a solution.
For audio hardware, of all the various units I've tested, this one is my favorite:
Jabra Speak 410
For larger groups, the 710 model allows you to link 2 units:
Jabra Speak 710
For cameras:
Fixed, small group, tripod or display/TV top mount:
Logitech c930e
Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ), Large room, tripod, tabletop, or wall mount:
Logitech PTZ Pro Camera
Avoid this one - we purchased 10, and so far the speaker has died on 6 of them in the past 2 years:
Logitech Conference Cam BCC950
Other hardware options:
Zoom Room Recommended Hardware
For platform, if you use G Suite & have Enterprise licensing, Google Meet is fantastic, as it supports dial-in numbers and up to 50 participants. Also, it has a new hardware kit w/ touchscreen remote:
Hangouts Meet hardware kit
If you are nor using G Suite, then either Zoom.us or Blue Jeans would be my first pick, with a slight edge to Zoom.
For more traditional, less video-centric, powerpoint heavy platform, GoToMeeting or GoToWebinar.
Let me know if you have any questions about any of the platforms or hardware.

Logitech is definitely the best and as /u/minxhibitionist stated the C920 is industry standard. Here is a page comparing some Logitech cams.
A few more thoughts:
The Logitech C930 has just come out with mixed reviews, however it is fully integrated with Mac. (I currently use a C920 with Mac and you have no controls just plug and play, kind of lame).
If you want to go all out go with the Logitech BCC950. This is what professional physical studios and some work at home camgirls use. It has a remote with full zoom, pan, tilt, and other useful features.
In addition you may find that you have a personal preference. For instance a lot of girls like the Logitech 9000 because they believe the coloring shows up more flattering and hides flaws even though it's actually a discontinued not even 1080p HD model.
So it's really subjective there is no cut and dry answer - whatever suits your needs!
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Desktop-Laptop-Webcam-Camera/dp/B00CRJWW2G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1497976890&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=c930e I bought this one since coinbase complaining that my image capcture was blurry or low pixel
The c930e sounds like it would be better for what you are wanting to do, it has a wider field of view (90 degrees instead of the c920 70) and the clarity is great. It is the camera that I use and I'm a fan, although dont play tabletop games.
The mount that it has would lend well to it being flexible where you want to put it and I would suggest maybe a USB extension cable if the included cable isnt long enough.
HERES A LINK
the OP3 should charge around 2.1A with a good non-dash charger and cable. so if you were seeing speeds less the 1A its gotta be your hardware.
If you get a good charger and cable like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Pull-up-Resistor-MacBook-ChromeBook/dp/B011995DDO you should be able to charge around 2A.
As with any USB-C accessories, be careful of what you buy. If you want dash charging then you can only really get the official one
However if you are looking to just get any USB C cable in order to use other chargers etc then I recommend this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B011995DDO/ref=pe_385721_51767431_TE_dp_1
This cable is marked as safe by Benson Leung of Google. Whilst it will not give you dash charging it is pretty much safe to use with any charger
I swear by the Anker usb type c cables now after a run in with my original oneplus charger (melted and burnt part of my casing). They're also been reviewed and tested by a guy at Google I think. Plus they're quite cheap still. Anker USB-C to USB 3.0 Cable (3.3ft) with 56k Ohm Pull-up Resisto... http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B011995DDO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_udp_awd_z5k3wb8WZXJYQ

I use this when flying to charge through the plane’s USB port- should I stop with all the recent news?
Hi guys
Can anyone please confirm if this cable, plugged into a standard spare usb plug into the wall socket, would charge the switch at a sufficient rate while playing it? It's a spare Samsung phone plug I have.

I've been reading around and it does seem that there is currently no market solution for Thunderbolt2/USB port to USB C peripheral. Having just bought a new MBP 2015 I'm kinda worried. Can anyone confirm this?

EDIT 2 : Looks like it works for USB C phones at least! Imgur
The guy in the review uses an LG G5 (USB-C) and connects it to his computer(USB3).

If you are sure the noise is coming from this area, make sure that it is not the hard drive making this noise first. You can do this by simply unplugging the power from the hard drive and see if the computer makes the noise afterwards, if it doesn't then you know what your problem is. and if it does then its most likely the power supply as it is also stored in this area. Being that its a pre-built system its quite likely going to be a cheap and nasty unit. I'd suggest replacing it with something like this if needed, although getting a nicer PSU is never a bad idea because at least you will have the peace of mind knowing its of a respectable standard.
It doesn't really matter what power supply you buy as long as it is from a reputable manufacturer (EVGA, Corsair, Be quiet etc), has an 80+ rating (which all of the previously mentioned brands units have) and has a wattage rating high enough for your system. Your PC is not particularly power demanding so a 500w unit will be more than suitable for your usage.
I've decided that it's better for me to get a 500W PSU. Does this one seem good? Not sure what connector it has. I'm deciding to buy an adapter if it's an 8 pin connector.

Here's what I use. Not nearly the best, but it's manageable for the average Joe or group.
Current
Deprecated
Capture Device: Dazzle DVC 100BPHS1s are kind of the standard for accessible and reasonably priced xlr headsets.
I was getting decent quality out of my old dazzle before I switched, people just need to learn how to setup their bitrate properly to reduce artifacts and how to deinterlace their capture via amarectv or using the built in obs plugins (I used yadifx4 for the longest time) which do a nice, respectable job. Would I recommend a dazzle? Eh, it produces decent video for the price (got mine on ebay for $20), but has some compatibility issues - if you do a quick search for audio issues with the dazzle you'll find a couple threads. There are workarounds, but it's finicky.
Ideally though, streams should be capturing component video. It removes the need for software/external hardware deinterlacing. The issue here is that you either need a TV that supports component, or a component->composite converter, which I've seen people have performance issues with in the past.
My current setup uses a Framemeister to upscale the composite signal and handle the deinterlacing, outputting HDMI to the USB3HDCAP. The advantage is that I get to feed straight composite signals to any plain old CRT, which is great because I've been recording out of a suitcase the last few months while I move around.
I build my overlays in JavaScript and HTML; there's a layer of logic that polls a local JSON file written by StreamControl for changes and updates them on the page.
Just taking off on a flight. More info later.(It's later)Sample with the Dazzle

About the GPU
>Will you be overclocking?
>Idk if I should or not, I don't really know too much about it, but if recommended then sure
I wouldn't recommend it, especially given this is your first build, and you don't know much about computers.
I can't talk to free editing software, as I have always used Adobe Premier Pro which is around $20 a month.
As for a face cam, when I made gaming videos I would use a Logitech C920. I would use their software to record the face cam, and then add it to the gameplay in Adobe Premier.
For a mic, I have used my Audio-Technica AT2020. I have had this thing for years and it has yet to fail me. I could link it to the Logitech software so I could use it in place of the webcam mic.
For video I already have a HD PRO WEBCAM C920 and for audio I have a Samson Meteor Mic, but since I'll be duo streaming with a roommate, I'm not sure what I should go for.
what do you think about the SteelSeries Arctis 7 ?
I have a cherry mx red keyboard with o-rings, I'd like something that will pick up the less ambient noise possible.
I have a budget a bit above 1k € since I'll probably be able to sell my i5 4670k / Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H / 4x4 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz CAS9 / 2 x MSI R7950 Twin Frozr III for a bit.
Not sure how much I could sell this old hardware, but since ram is more expensive, and the I5 isn't bad, the 7950's could probably go around 70€ each and the MB maybe around 70€ as well, not really sure.
I also have a green screen, maybe not top quality, but with some testing it might work, I'll probably have to buy some lights as well to have a better chroma key quality.
This is what I use:
Logitech Webcam ($50) - It captures 1080p images and can be controlled 100% manually via free Logitech software. The depth of field is kinda bad up close but it gets the job done.
qStopMotion (Free) - An open source stop motion program. Development stopped a few years ago and it isn't perfect, but it has onion skinning and playback. Only works with a webcam, not DLSR.
Hitfilm Express 2017 (Free) - A fully functional editing program extremely similar to Adobe Premiere, but free and with a built-in compositor (so you don't need After Effects). Not too hard to learn, but then I already had 5 years editing experience when I got it. The free version has everything you need unless you are a professional visual effects artist.
For audio, Audacity is a perfect choice. I wouldn't worry about getting him a microphone unless he does a ton of voice acting. Even then, a phone or laptop should suffice since he is a 10 year old hobbyist. Then he can learn how to clean audio with Audacity as well.
For lights, I would let him mess around with desk lamps and random lights around the house. Paper is great for diffusing light, either as a screen or a bounce. Since he isn't a pro, he doesn't need anything fancy. Personally, I have learned a lot from making due with the lights I have.
That's my two cents. Go stop mo!
For what it's worth, you can connect your Samson mic to an iPhone using this:
https://www.amazon.com/Lightning-to-USB-Camera-Adapter/dp/B014VGHG0U/
A USB OTG adaptor for Android phones would be even cheaper:
https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Adapter-Female-Samsung-Android/dp/B00N9S9Z0G/
It's up to you what setup you prefer. Maybe you want to stick with the webcam considering it's only $50:
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S/
Logitech C920 is considered to be one of the best at $50. Does 1080p30fps with a 12mp sensor which is great for a facecam. The mic is also pretty good, but since most streamers will want a boom mic it's kind of a throwaway feature for a cam.
If you feel that you just can't live without 1080p60 then the C922 can do that, but it's not worth the bump in price (costs 2x as much).

This is late but I stumbled into this thread from a search for something else. I've just finished my semester doing the same thing for a Calculus 2 class in a college setting. I usually use a chalkboard, but I opted for a webcam attached to a clip-on stand. This ran through my laptop (a Mac, which is relevant) and then into the overhead projector. Instead of writing on a board I instead wrote on paper. This actually encouraged me to pre-print worksheets to work through and also make available for students, which has been very helpful and I've received lots of positive comments from students about the setup. Lectures are recorded with Quicktime Player using my laptop's built-in mic. After a new concept or a natural break in the discussion I stop recording, save the video, and start another one, giving me videos of 5-15 minutes each. This semester I ended up with 150 videos, all hosted on YouTube unlisted with a playlist URL that I shared with students once at the beginning of the semester (voting and comments disabled).
When I wanted to use a virtual manipulative (I like GeoGebra for demos, and I code on the fly in front of the class with Sage) I use [record screen] rather than [record movie] in Quicktime. If I run DwayneCam (free app for OSX) I can show the webcam stream in a window on the desktop while I also show my web browser, and the whole screen gets recorded.
It really is a great setup and cost me under $100 total. Plus all you ever see of me is my hand.

mines like $67 its on sale now http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1464384984&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=logitech

You could probably buy a C920 in stores and have them pricematch to $63.
EDIT: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S
The C920 is $60 https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1467841604&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=c920
These are Asus VX247H-P 23.6" Full HD monitors, which run around $140 after rebate. They have inputs for VGA, DVI and HDMI, and VESA mount holes.
The mount is a modified Mount-It! desk mount for 6 monitors up to 21". I added about 11 inches to the 4 outside arms so that it will take the VS247's with sufficient clearance that I can tilt the top monitors in at about a 30 degree angle and still tilt them all down to face me. As you can see, that leaves gaps in the upper tier, which is where my speakers go.
My computer is an Asus G75VW, which has external video outpus for VGA, HDMI and DisplayPort. With a cheap VGA or HDMI adapter on the DisplayPort I can directly connect the bottom three monitors. I moved the OEM 900GB drive to the second drive bay and put a 256Gb SSD in the first. Still need to get the memory maxed out (running 8GB, which is cramped at times, but not yet so much that I've been motivated to buy more).
For the upper three monitors I added a 7 port USB 3 hub and three Plugable USB 2.0 to VGA/DVI/HDMI adapters for $40 each (there is a nicer model available now, which supports higher resolutions and speeds). Up to six of these will run on a system.
On the back I have RGB LED strip ($25) which provides nice mood lighting, and also illuminates the keyboard at night. Pardon the mess of cables. I recently rearranged the monitor cables and haven't tied everything back up neatly yet. I'll probably get that done sometime in the next year or two).
On top of the center monitor is a Logitech C920 webcam for about $70, which gives pretty decent stereo audio and video quality for calls via Google Voice and Skype. The sound quality is mostly limited by the all-hard-surfaces room I have for an office.
The USB adapters run surprisingly well. The frame rate will drop if I try to run a video at a large size, but at smaller sizes (1/6th-ish screen size) i can see no judder from lack of bandwidth. When I watch videos full screen I put them on one of the three lower monitors.
When I want to go mobile I have to unplug three monitor cables, and two USB cables (two 7 port hubs, the USB 3 hub for monitors and USB drives, and a USB 2 hub for bluetooth headset and fitbit adapter (evidently the high frequency of USB 3 tends to interfere with these low-power wireless dongles, they work much more reliably on USB 2). The speakers on the monitor stand are plugged into the back of the monitor that is connected via HDMI.
All together the monitor setup was about $1160.
What are you going to use such a powerful camera for? I wouldn't see any reason for it. If you want a facecam then just use some of the MUCH less expensive webcams that still have great video quality. I believe you can use a capture card for the WiiU, from what I remember it doesn't have any HDCP to block you from recording.

I'm buying a new one soon, like a proper camera. My webcam shouldn't be THAT bad. It's the best webcam you can get aside from using actual cameras. This is what I use. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1466950923&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=logitech+hd+pro+c920+1080p

I never realized how weak the Canadian dollar is, I was really surprised at how much less it gets you. This is based on the "Crusher" build from the /r/pcmasterrace wiki, plus a keyboard and monitor. I don't have any direct experience with any of these parts besides the monitor, which I got for my girlfriend's computer build (and it's a great monitor at that price)
If you're looking to spend more, the first places to do it are
Now for other recommendations. I stream on twitch as well, (mostly World of Tanks and other games), and I mostly use a Logitech G430 as my headphones/mic. If you're looking for a new mouse, Redragon makes really great mice at really good prices, I use a Redragon Perdition as my primary mouse for gaming, a Redragon Nemeanlion at work, and a Redragon Centrophorus for my secondary computer (used as a server and for doing distributed computing). For a webcam, I use a Logitech C920
Just a couple more questions, and I think I'll be good.
Is this the 920 you're talking about?
Where is a good place to set the mic? Would I need two stands, or would I be able to use one stand for both camera and mic? Or could I just put the mic on the edge of the table, out of view of the cameras?
What stand are you setting it on? Here is the amazon link to the c920. You can see by the pictures that it is capable of standing on its own or extending to clamp onto the top of a monitor.
It is a very versatile camera. Only thing it cannot do is swivel side to side (which the c615 can do)
Yes.
I recommend the Logitech C920. It's used by almost every streamer, including myself, and I am very happy with it.
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-Widescreen-Calling-Recording/dp/B006JH8T3S
This post hit home for me as I was in a long distance relationship for a long time.
Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 is great! It does 1080p wide angle and even has a privacy shutter (at an extra charge)
Here’s the Amazon (US) link:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DiHqDbXE6K1T6
C920 is currently $39.99 at Amazon.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B006JH8T3S/ doesn't .ca workout to be the same?
edit also there should be a bunch of c922s from, kijiji for cheap because of the price error from bestbuy.
on the Amazon page down at the bottom it says "Mac OS 10.6 or later (HD 720p on FaceTime for Mac or other supported video-calling clients; Full HD 1080p video recording with QuickTime Player)" under the compatibility and requirements.

Hey there,
I would use
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us_3C1TmqHA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HbPsNNutKo
as elgato resources.
I'm also a part of the 80D club! You can use DSLR's as a webcam, but I would NOT recommend. The constant light will make your sensor deteriorate.
If you want to take the risk here is how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W1pYdfIWY4
The streaming industry standard for webcam's is the Logitech C920, it's currently 50% off on amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S
I've streamed board games but not miniatures.
I would say that I think having an overhead view would be important if you want people to follow the gameplay so that they can get a correct sense of where things are in relation to each other.
OBS is great and free, use that.
If you're going to have a dedicated "director" they can switch between angles live, otherwise you can do a multicam situation all on the same screen. A director could also update overlays live. We eventually switched to just doing youtube videos and so we recorded each camera separately and edited them together for the final product.
I think you could choose to not do a dice camera. Doing it will be more exciting as people can see the rolls but if you don't just be careful to specify what was rolled out loud for the camera so the viewers know.
You can do a lot with just webcams, this is the one I have 3 of. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1523112956&amp;sr=1-4
I do use a separate mic though.
Is this the same webcam? Link
it sounds like that your father is a great teacher :)
its a weird time tho :)
summer just started :)
but back to the subject
for cameras
2 https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S
would get the job done greatly
and you can change between them if you are using something like OBS
for his pc i dont know your budget but this can work great
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DWkCPs
even if he wants to game :)
The Q2N can function as a 720p USB webcam, though it's quite wide-angle (like a go-pro) so it would need to be closer than you'd think to get a good shot.
Your budget really is too low for anything other than webcams really, though you can get some pretty decent webcams for that price.
Hve a look at the Logitech C920. You'd have enough left over for a USB audio interface so you could run an output from the desk into your streaming package.
The thing is though, webcams don't have zoom. The zoom/pan that is done by software is simply blowing up the image so you're not gaining any detail, so things will just look blurrier when you zoom in.
Ideally, you'll need to reduce the distance between the camera and the stage somehow. You could, for example, suspend the camera from the ceiling, or mount it on a desk at the front of the bar?
However, if you're streaming at 720p or lower resolution, then you could potentially zoom in on the video in your streaming package without losing quality (don't use the webcam software, use something like OBS).
The Zoom Q2N would work as it can function as a USB webcam, but it's got a go-pro like wide-angle lens on it so it would need to be even closer than a normal webcam.
Really to pull this project off well, you'd need to spend at least a few more hundred dollars. A consumer camcorder like a Canon Vixia, plus a HDMI capture device like a Blackmagic Web Presenter would be the ideal budget setup.

Here is a super reliable PSU. Great for the price and if you are willing to pay 7 more, get the 500W version as it will be great value. Just please don't use that junk PSU.
Thank you so much i think i will look more into this and save up, also if its not too much to ask do you think this PSU (https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-100-W1-0500-K3-Budget-Power-Supply/dp/B01E4YRP8W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1499960431&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=EVGA+500w) would be sufficent enough for the i5 4430, 16gb Ram and a 2GB GTX 960?
PSU doesnt really matter too much. For a NAS anything 450W+ just get any reputable brand (Corsair, EVGA, etc). You may may want to get an 80+ rated PSU, probably silver or better for better power efficiency.
Same for the MOBO really, get one that suppports the CPU, duh, with enough sata ports, and ram slots, with this you can just get the cheapest one that fits the bill.
Should be easily doable within budget as you already have most of the bits :)
Yeah that's a logical way to look at it. Reckon this one would be okay? EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W, Power Supply 100-W1-0500-K3, Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01E4YRP8W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_NLiRDb8Q3A4E0
Would this fit your needs?

want to know if this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01E4YRP8W/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2OAJ7377F756P&amp;psc=1 is powerful/has the correct cables for this http://www.ebuyer.com/787157-gigabyte-amd-radeon-rx-580-4gb-gaming-graphics-card-gv-rx580gaming-4gd

It is NOT the C922. It's also not the C922x, as was previously stated.
The C922x is item number: 960-001176 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXCDPPK/

They look virtually identical from a feature standpoint (1080p@30fps/720p@60fps), but I haven't dug into it too deeply.
Yes, there's a market for all body types. Many sex workers are pleasantly surprised at the level of demand for their "look". However, you will likely need to hustle more and it may take you a little longer to find your audience if you don't have a classically beautiful body. CamModelMom has tips on getting started as a plus size cam model.
You can get started with just your computer's webcam or a phonecam. People have shot feature films on phone cameras.
The key to getting good video out of a phone camera is to learn to take advantage of natural lighting, and lights you already may have (such as desklamps, worklights, Christmas lights). I recommend reading about how to light / film yourself first, then decide what kind of lighting you need:
If you have some money to spend, I would recommend the following as a basic kit.
Camera, and camera boom. The Logitech C-922x has a built-in microphone.
Next, upgrade your lighting:
Finally, upgrade your sound:
You can spend hundreds or thousands more for better quality and easier to use equipment, but with the above kit, you should be able to get professional results. Depending on what your niche is, it may be worthwhile to spend money on costumes, tip-activated sex toys, room decorations, BDSM equipment, etc.

This IP Cam: https://www.cctvcameraworld.com/1080p-2-megapixel-ip-ptz-camera-outdoor-ip67.html
Both are has 60fps framerate and are full hd.
What I use:
Logitech c922x webcam $68.22 right now, usually $99.
TONOR mic w/ arm and power supply $47.99.
Ubeesize ring light w/phone grip (I use the grip for the webcam) $18.99.
The webcam comes with chromakey software in case you plan to do background replacement. The mic is almost too good, because it picks up damn near everything and I've only recently started trying to figure out noise suppression and noise gates.
This looks like the webcam. I'm not 100% sure, but this one looks pretty close. They use OBS to record their webcams, but I can't make out what they're using to record gameplay. If you pause their last video that they uploaded at the very beginning, you can see their setup pretty well.

you can try the Logitech c922x, it does say it supports 720P at 60fps though I personally never tried it since I only have the c920 and use a DSLR for all my Face-Cam stuff for YouTube.
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-C922x-Pro-Stream-Webcam/dp/B01LXCDPPK
I was trying to figure out what kind of specialized software the "inteli7" is until I realized you're talking about the CPU... Do note all i7s are not the same depending on generation, so pay attention to their clock speeds, generation, and other things that indicate their performance.
1080p 60fps, I would venture a guess that it would be far more economical (and you'll get higher quality out of) to buy any laptop and then buy an external webcam, like the Logitech C922x.
/r/SuggestALaptop is a thing as well.
Is Amazon's C922x different from C922 on Logitech's website? It looks the same to me but I'm not sure. I guess the Amazon one has no tripod, but is the camera the same one as OPs?
The easiest solution is not to get a camcorder or camera. They great for video creation, but probably way more complicated than what you need.
I would just recommend using a webcam like the Logitech C922 and mount that above the desk. Basically plug it in USB, no fancy HDMI to USB adapters necessary, and way under the budget.
So basically I think you're over complicating the problem and this simple solution would be the most user-friendly.

If I do get into video editing it would be on Adobe Premier Pro. I’m really more interested in streaming for the fact I have no idea how to edit videos so anything I would do would be minimal. The capture card I have seen used at other tournaments have been using Elgato hd60 S. As far as resolution goes that’s kinda over my head but I have this for my camera https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LXCDPPK?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title and I have a blue yeti microphone. If you have any more questions I’ll do my best to answer them.

Yes, it will catch your fingers while typing on a video conference using the web cam & you will be at a ridiculously weird angle. I went and got a Logitech BRIO, you may not need all of its features but I have a few client meetings a week and wanted the best possible video I could get.
Maybe something like the Logitech Brio
Meeting room holds 8 or 10, person sitting furthest away would be 12 feet or so.
Thanks!
I would grab the 1060 but I would consider a cheaper model (edit: BT shop has no estimated delivery date so would probably avoid, though I would still look around on retailers separately for cheaper models since PCPP don't always list the cheapest price).
Also would look into changing the power supply since the XFX is a tier 5 PSU
The Corsair CX550W (2017) is a little more expensive but is tier 3 with a five year warranty.
so this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020121-UK-CX550-Bronze-Supply/dp/B06X9BV5PR/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Corsair+cx550&qid=1568022338&s=gateway&sr=8-1
&#x200B;
It is only £15 more than the original so I am happy to swap that in if needed.
So does the [cx550] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020121-UK-CX550-Bronze-Supply/dp/B06X9BV5PR/ref=asc_df_B06X9BV5PR/?tag=googshopuk-21&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=310773493424&amp;hvpos=1o1&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=16372159340865002534&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9045455&amp;hvtargid=pla-564321261511&amp;psc=1) I linked have 2 8 pin connecters? I need to connect the msi twin frozr 770 and that requires 2 8 pins right?
I'm looking to buy my friend a new PSU after his old cheapo one died after installing a GTX 760 he was gifted, the system has an FX-8350, EVGA GTX 760 SC and 8GB RAM, would this CX 550w be enough? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020122-UK-CX650-Bronze-Power-Supply/dp/B06X9BV5PR/ref=dp_ob_title_ce?th=1
He does not plan to overclock since it's running a close to stock CPU cooler and only one case fan, and we are also on a pretty limited budget.
I need to get a new PSU, is there any real performance differences (other than wattage) betweenthese two PSUs?
-Seasonic S12-II
-Corsair CP CX450
It can be worth it, you’ll get about 8-9% extra performance. The best thing is to youtube a game you want to play and then 1660. Look at the performance and see if it’s what you want. If not then get the 1660ti. The 1660 super is supposed to be released on the 29th, so you can wait for that unless your desperate.
The PSU is on amazon, just PCPP is glitched and it can’t find the listing. Find it here.
Could too much PSU blow my system? I found this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020121-UK-CX550-Bronze-Supply/dp/B06X9BV5PR/ref=asc_df_B06X9BV5PR/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310773493424&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14923091864403321691&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046187&hvtargid=pla-564321261511&psc=1&th=1&psc=1
&#x200B;
Would that work or is there a chance for it to blow my system?
&#x200B;
Edit: Actually, how much PSU do you think would be required? Is 550 overkill?
RavPower 26800 PD from Amazon.co.uk.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Delivery-RAVPower-26800mAh-Portable-Recharged/dp/B06XTMK9H2
Does this work for the Switch?
You just need to look for ones without USB-C output. theyre way cheaper.
12 watts is plenty for on the go play. It can even power through game usage if you tone down the screen brightness enough.
Though if you really wanted it, USB-C is only £10 more.
Maybe you could try asking on r/laptops?
I looked for some other ones you could find on the uk website.
How about this alternative? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jackery-PowerBar-Portable-Generator-23200mAh/dp/B07CKSPVM8/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=laptop+battery+charger&qid=1556746619&s=gateway&sr=8-5
Or this alternative?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/PD-Power-Bank-RAVPower-USB-Black/dp/B06XTMK9H2/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=laptop+battery+charger&qid=1556746619&s=gateway&sr=8-8
So a USB-C power bank would charge the switch the fastest?
I had a look at the RAVpower but it's over £50, not worth it for me.
There aren't any PD Aukey power banks, but this seems ok, not very many reviews though, seems a lot less popular than the anker.
Same deal for the Lumsing.
So I'm still not sure, if I was willing to spend £50 maybe I might get the RAVpower, but considering it's only going to be use for a few journeys this year, I'm still leaning towards the safe choice, the Anker PowerCore 20100.
Looking for PowerBanks for Long Haul flights. Seems the options are either
https://www.amazon.co.uk/PD-Power-Bank-RAVPower-USB-Black/dp/B06XTMK9H2/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=powerbank+switch&amp;qid=1569853761&amp;s=electronics&amp;sr=1-7
or
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-PowerCore-Portable-Capacity-External/dp/B01MTSA2CG/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2XSV4PMR1J9OM&amp;keywords=powercore%2B+26800&amp;qid=1569853715&amp;sprefix=powercore%2B%2Caps%2C205&amp;sr=8-7
I don't really mind the price difference, any reason to get one over the other? And how long will one of these give me in total on more intense games? (Witchet 3, Dragonquest XI).
From My Understanding I'll also need to make sure I get the right USB Cable but think I can just follow the link in the OP to find that.
Cost is not an issue although I don’t want to waste money.
I was thinking more about getting that Rav but if you think the other lower mAh but with higher wattage will be better I might take it.
My question regarding the Aukey was more about the wall plug. Should I stick to the Rav Plug or spend a bit more and go for this Aukey
This power bank is £36.99 with the current promo. Seems to be compatible with the Switch and offers a lot more functionality. It's a bit chunky if you're looking for a smaller option but it seems like much better value.
I just picked one up because I've been looking for a power bank for a while, so I'll see how it works out.
For your current build? Get 1440p60, probably. IPS is unnecessary for gaming, SVA panels are nice as of late. Could also get 1080p144.
Consider MAG241C, C24G1, MAG240VC for 1080p144.
For 1440p60 it really depends. This guy is a solid pick for 1440p144 on the cheap, but if you don't think you'll hit high FPS in the games you play, you could settle for something like this.
I can elaborate on panel types if you want.
Beginner here!
I need help for identifying if I'm wasting money on certain parts or if there is some stuff that isn't compatible between the monitor and the PC in terms of FPS/Hz and that kinda stuff
I'll be using my PC with a Dual Monitor Setup for, entry level CAD (Autodesk + Photoshop) , gaming, research and revising (and the occasional youtube videos)

144 FPS Build
Here, 350 pounds and it's really a great monitor.
155hz 1440p, good colors and highly rated. Support g sync without any issues as well. Be sure to buy a VESA rated DP 1.2 cable since the monitor only comes with HDMI cable.
I would not recommend Samsung

>as for motherboard...
How long would "the next few generation of gpu's" be in years, roughly? I'm asking this because if it'll last a few more years longer, I'm willing to dish out on the X570, even if it is not the most efficiently priced at the moment, on the chance that PCIe 4.0 might take off within a few years. I'm actually willing to go over budget by 100 or so if it means that I don't have to worry about changing the CPU or Motherboard for the duration of this PCs life (which I'm hoping will be around 7 ish years as I said).
&#x200B;
> For memory...
That's perfect then, I'll mull over my budget a bit and see if I can fit it in. I read a bit about it and it said CAS latency can be big for gaming, especially if you have a good GPU, but I'm unsure.
&#x200B;
> Storage...
Are the differences in different SSD performances mainly to be found in productivity related operations, then? Also dumb question, but is NVME just a type of M.2 SSD? I'm asking this as many SSDs I've looked up are "M.2 NVME" or whatever.
&#x200B;
> For GPU the one you have is great as long as you're happy with the performance you'll be getting.
From what I've seen of it, the 5700XT is a pretty high end card, no? Its not a 2080ti but it'll smash most games out nowadays at 60fps+ at 1440p, at least that's from the benchmarks I've seen. Do you think it'd comfortably contend with PS5 era games that'll be out next year? I know its a big guess but realistically isn't it unlikely that PS5 era games will be matching a 2080 ti in the first place? I'm up for upgrading the GPU in 3 years or so anyway.
&#x200B;
> Your monitor looks pretty good, you could get one with 1ms latency for under $350
Is this or this good? (credit to u/Jozef-Pilsudski)
I think the Dell one is 1ms, the other doesn't say I don't think.
&#x200B;
> you could always turn it down to 1080p on games that need it until you upgrade your gpu again.
Dumb question, but I can turn the resolution down to 1080p on either of those monitors I linked, and the one in the OP, yeah? Cos if that's the case then the limitations of the 5700xt on 1440p won't really matter, and I'll have the monitor got and ready by the time I get a card that can fully utilize 1440p.
&#x200B;
> For the monitor RTings
Will rummage around that site as soon as I get a chance, see what I can find.
&#x200B;
> Sorry my post is almost as long as yours but I think i covered everything you mentioned
No need to apoligise, its long and answers everything I wanted. Its perfect, thank you so much for helping :).
Having a good webcam isn't the most important element, but it helps for sure! If you go on chaturbate right now, you'll see a TON of "new models" with pretty crappy cameras but still making a ton of tokens. Ppl don't care too much about the quality of the camming, as long as it's decent to see the actions of the cam girl :)
I bought this cam on Amazon as soon as I finished my first cam session. I was on for about 30 min and made over $100 already. I made MORE than the cost of the camera which gave me more wiggle room to buy more toys and outfits. Try a different platform and if you like manyvids, push your chaturbate audience to look at your content on manyvids.
For streaming, recording, and adobe premiere editing you're gonna want an 8 core processor so Ryzen 2700x would be a better choice here.

You will have to get an extra adapter to use a GoPro. I have a DJM2000 as well, and just use a webcam like this (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-C920S-Webcam-Privacy-Shutter/dp/B07K95WFWM/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=webcam&amp;qid=1572973516&amp;sr=8-5) and then the audio out from the DJM2000 and run it all through OBS (https://obsproject.com/)
I'll probably upgrade to the C920 soon, but the Logitech C270 is what I've used for years and it's never failed me. Pretty ok quality and good settings adjustment so even my garbage green screen works beautifully. If you're on a tight budget, this is a great cam.

I can give you my setup (it keeps growing each day):
This microphone is plug and play and works wonderfully. I also use Adobe Audition and Virtual Audio Cable to clear any background feedback which makes my voice quality absolutely spectacular in most cases.
If you are looking into a green screen, I honestly recommend just going to a Home Depot store and get a bright green paint. I have realized that the quality of a green screen seems to rely more on the lighting of your studio/setup. To conquer the idea of "perfect lighting" isn't exactly that expensive. I bought a set of the following items on amazon: a bulb holder, a lighting umbrella, a light stand, and a studio quality bulb. Remember these items are just examples but lighting is very important if you indeed plan to use a greenscreen or camera view.
It terms of a webcam, the Logitech c920 is the best bang for your buck in the market.
Headsets can be whatever you wish it to be. I use an old Turtle Beach headset from my Xbox 360 days. It works. If you use a high quality microphone, the quality of your headset isn't too important. If you do plan on using a high quality headset: a surround sound Logitech headset are the best in my personal opinion.
I like to say that my setup is the most ghetto version of a high quality streaming setup. An example of the final product of above hardware and software is here. If you have any questions about these recommendation, be sure to ask. And welcome to the world of home studio streaming!
I didn't ignore the articles at all.
Again, the issue is not with the interface - and I've never claimed it doesn't do what it does.
Yet again, Einstein, the issue is your claim of superiority of this product, not with what the product offers. As far as a computer with those items, my own pc is running over half of it (1080p camera, Bluray drive, HDMI in), and what I do have is miles more powerful than what xbox one claims to offer (I burn blu-ray, capture 4 channels, recording studio level microphones, much more powerful graphics cardS, etc). But again, I have not once denied that xbox one has that hardware, but most of those things are not even the "interface" that everybody is complaining about and definately not exclusive to xbox.
And that's just my personal desk computer. Don't get me started on the systems I build for work...
Back to my actual point again: Your claim that xbox one is offering the ULTIMATE interface solution is laughable.
You (repeatedly) sound like a pothead proclaiming the superiority of White Castle cheeseburgers without ever having been to 5 Guys. Don't waste my time by arguing that the cheeseburger is ULTIMATE by trying to twist it and claim I'm denying a cheeseburger has cheese. Of course a cheeseburger has cheese. There's simply better burgers than White Castle sells.
A lot of people are suggesting you build a pc, and I suggest you to build one too! My previous PC Build was good enough to run iRacing and, Including a BenQ monitor, cost around the £600 mark. I'll post my specs however some of the parts may be discontinued so I'll try and source similar components if they are.
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P
AMD (Piledriver) FX-6300 3.50GHz
ASUS GTX 750Ti
Ballistix Sport 8GB (2x4GB)
500W EVGA 80+ White Rated PSU
DVD Re-Writable(For Installing Windows)
1TB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive
BitFenix Comrade Midi Tower
BenQ 22inch Monitor
Let me know if want any of the peripherals(Keyboard/Mouse etc) aswell
Total Cost = ~£543
You might be able to find components cheaper on different websites, especially American based ones(NewEgg).
As for assembly, I followed a tutorial from popular Battlefield YouTuber, JackFrags. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WQxr59KRto He uses old components but the build is more or less the same than the specs above.
You also may want to upgrade the Graphics Card, RAM or CPU. I recently upgraded the 750Ti to a 1060 3GB, FX 6300 to a FX 8350 and RAM by an extra 8GB. Remember, if you do upgrade anything like this, you will most likely need a bigger PSU.
Have fun building :P
Edit: As Raptord put, you should also think about getting a Ryzen CPU. But keep in mind, you would need to get a different motherboard as Ryzen uses an alternative socket to AM3+

So much about that doesn't make sense. An xbox elite wireless controller is a little over 300 g, and a webcam, is listed as 281 g.
https://www.amazon.ca/Logitech-Webcam-Pro-C920-Packaging/dp/B006JH8T3S
http://www.xbox.com/en-ca/xbox-one/accessories/controllers/elite-wireless-controller - minus batteries (assuming 2 AA = 31 g)
127 g seems way too light.
According to Amazon the same weight as this jar of spice:

You're not crazy, but youre mistaking ability for necessity.
A webcam is nothing more than a camera. The name came about when monitor mounted and embedded cameras became common place to facilitate things like Skype. Because they were devised to be a camera to chat over the web, they got the name webcam. But they aren't functionally any different than a normal camera.
The term webcam is used to differentiate between a small mounted camera like this or this from a DSLR, video camera, disposable camera, polaroid/instant camera, infrared camera etc etc.
It's just a differentiation based on the original intent. A webcam streaming to the internet is functionally identical to that same camera streaming to your hard drive or a video camera streaming to a hard drive or magnetic tape.
If you absolutely need HD quality from your webcam, then you can get an external one for under $30.
These built-cameras are used almost exclusively for video chatting. Most people's connections, I'm guessing, can't support HD video chatting (keep in mind both parties need a fast connection, and they're both streaming and broadcasting in HD). Probably will in the next five years, when this generation is at the end of its lifecycle.
So yeah, this is one of those things that most consumers don't care about right now. Part of me thinks Apple will be unveiling some new groundbreaking camera lens technology in the next couple of years, and these sort of "huh why did Apple do that?" moments are just part of their marketing long-game.
