FAQ

Which webcam is best for online classes at Wits or UJ?

The Logitech C920 at ~R1,300 is the standard recommendation for student video calls. It's 1080p, compatible with all major video platforms, and available for next-day delivery to Kempton Park. If you want to project a more professional image in group assessments, the C922's improved low-light rendering is worth the extra R200.

Is the Elgato Facecam better than the Logitech Brio 4K for streaming?

For Twitch streaming specifically, the Elgato Facecam's 1080p/60fps output looks smoother in motion-heavy scenes. The Brio 4K wins on raw resolution for recorded YouTube content. The Facecam lacks a built-in microphone, so it's best paired with a separate USB studio mic.

Do webcams work with PS5 for party chat or content creation?

Yes. USB webcams like the Logitech C920, C922, and Brio 4K are plug-and-play on PS5 for video chat and streaming via Twitch on console. Note that PS5 only uses the webcam feed — audio still routes through your headset or the console's default audio output.

TIP

Tip

Aim your webcam slightly downward (5–10 degrees below eye level) for a flattering stream angle — directly forward produces a fisheye effect on wide-angle cameras, and pointing up reveals ceiling and underside of chin.
