Sony ZV-1, Elgato Cam Link 4K, and a few other minor accessories (eg. lighting).

A huge amount of time is spent on video calls these days, and although there are more advanced webcams out there these days - a camera which is geared towards video (the ZV-1 is aimed at vlogging) will produce significantly better video for any calls you're on.

Spending a little bit of time optimising your setup so that you're the one in the call with good quality video/audio is worth it. Get a decent camera, get a good microphone, improve your background lighting.

I have the same setup and find that I can’t use my cam link through my Caldigit element hub as the video freezes. Do you connect the cam link directly to your computer? It seems the cam link needs an entire bus bandwidth to function. :(
If you have a mac you can get most of that with continuty cam for a fraction of the price.
