It's easy to set up on an external monitor or laptop screen, and it works well with Logitech's dedicated, albeit buggy, software.

It takes sharp photos and videos, which makes it ideal for teleconferencing and streaming. The Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 is an outstanding replacement for your laptop's integrated webcam. MORE: The Best Laptops for Business and Productivity The enterprise-focused Webcam C930e isn't designed to work with the software it refuses to take photo or video at 1080p with the app's built-in recorder. The cheaper HD Webcam C310 can't utilize face masks, avatars or other special effects. I quickly discovered that different models of Logitech camera worked to varying degrees with the software. Unfortunately, I found the program as a whole to be slow and buggy, hanging between tasks like taking or viewing photos and videos. You can also use the C920 as security cam thanks to the motion-detection mode, which can come in handy if you want to keep an eye on your desk. The software features a number of backgrounds and avatars to add a bit of fun to your videoconferencing. If you use this at a desk, you'll likely need to use it only once, but users on the go might find themselves relying on these framing options more often. The app allows users to zoom in and out with the camera, as well as pan left and right. The company touts support for Mac OS X, Chrome OS and Android, but those operating systems don't offer this program. The C920 is compatible with Logitech's Webcam Software for Windows. However, the C930e had superior noise cancellation, while the C310 didn't do much to dampen background noise. Though I recorded my chat in an open-office setting, there wasn't a ton of ambient noise from nearby co-workers.

Recorded with the C920's built-in microphones, the audio in my sample video was loud and clear, but a little flat. A cheaper, 720p camera, the Logitech HD Webcam C310, was grainy in comparison and wasn't as sharp in low light. A photo I took with the 930e made my light red shirt look more like a cherry red. Logitech's business version of this camera, the $98 C930e, offers almost identical performance but has a 90-degree field of view and colors that are more vibrant but less accurate.
