It may have been hard getting your hands on the best cheap webcams over the last year and a half, but thats thankfully changed as things have somewhat settled down. While most people searching for one have focused on companies like Logitech and Microsoft, there are a number of other well-known manufacturers rolling out quality budget-friendly options.

Investing in a webcam for Zoom is much more crucial than in the past, and
this is probably the best time to upgrade from the one built into your
laptop. People are working from home in increasing numbers and video conferencing has become an essential tool. Even students have relied more on video calls during these uncertain times. And, though most are heading back
to school, remote learning will probably stick around in one form or another for the foreseeable future.

To help you, weve collected a variety of excellent yet budget-friendly
webcams here. They might not be as feature-rich as their more expensive siblings. But, if you can live without 4K resolution, multi-mic arrays, and auto-pan and tilt, you will still end up with something with excellent image quality. Getting a proper video conferencing solution doesnt have to break
the bank, after all. Well help you get a cheap webcam for video calls, streaming video games and back to school season. 1. Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000

Cheap, cheerful and ideal for Skype Resolution: 720p | Features: Colour correction, noise cancelling Cheap Cheerful 720p only

The Microsoft LifeCam Studio is our top pick for the best cheap webcam. Aimed at pro users with large displays, it features a familiar configuration of 1080p recording and 720p live video calling. It rotates 360 degrees, and can be mounted on a tripod with autofocus. The wideband mic delivers crystal
clear audio, and Microsofts TrueColor system will shift the exposure dynamically to keep you well lit, making it a great choice for business conferencing and presentations. 2. Microsoft LifeCam Studio

A pro camera for pro people Resolution: 1080p | Features: Colour correction, hi-fi microphone, Skype Wide field of view Wideband mic for better sound Expensive Really designed for corporate types

It isnt the most attractive webcam, but the LifeCam Studio isnt really designed to be attractive. Instead, its made for business conferencing and presentations, with its 1080p recording, 720p live video calling and wideband mic to deliver crystal clear sound. Not too shabby for a budget-friendly webcam. This is a serious peripheral one that requires a powerful PC for max settings but that doesnt mean its lacking bells and whistles. For instance, it comes with 360-degree rotating capabilities and Microsofts TrueColor system, which will shift the exposure dynamically to keep you well lit.

A brilliant budget webcam from Logitech Resolution: 720p | Features: Adjustablestand Great value Easy to use Basic

Logitech makes brilliant webcams, and the Logitech HD Webcam C310 is a fantastic budget offering, that offers very good image quality for the price. Resolution is just 720p, but for most people that won't be an issue. In fact, if you have an internet connection that struggles with high definition
videos, then this is actually a bonus. (Image credit: Logitech) 4. Logitech C922 Pro Stream
