Anyone who wants use web conference software should invest in an external webcam. Not only is it good for privacy (I don't trust software solutions, peripherals should have hardwired indicator lights and/or a way to hardware disable them when not in use), it's also a game changer when it comes to looking good on camera, because you can angle the webcam at angles that are far more flattering than the typical "looking up your neck" one that gets defaulted with built-in laptop webcams, and the quality difference between "adequate" and "good" is a big differentiator.

Now, I haven't used THIS webcam, but it's definitely the sort of thing I'd be interested in.
