If you need your Mac to stay on for an extended period of time but you're sick of the Energy Saver section of System Preferences, this is the utility you've been looking for. With a price tag that sits well under $30, the webcam will appeal to those that will not necessary want to spend an exponential sum on a webcam for their Mac. But the best thing about the Logitech C310 is that offers more or less the same quality as the C615. That camera ran for 10 years, and its final image was preserved for all to see. Later, around the same time the first commercial webcams became available in 1994, the University of San Francisco launched their FogCam, which still runs to this day, and is the oldest webcam still in operation.

While it's true that most laptops or all-in-one PCs come with an HD webcam already built in, many desktop PC users require an external solution. Luckily, there are quite a few options out there to choose. You can grab one of the best webcams yourself for a similar – or even better – experience.

But, what should you look for in a webcam? Like most things, it all depends on what you'll be using it for. Are you looking to become the next Twitch or YouTube celebrity? Will you be video conferencing with work colleagues? Or, do you just want to do Skype video calls with family and friends whenever a holiday comes around?

No matter what you're after in a webcam, we'll help you find the perfect fit. From high quality shooters with nice aesthetics to affordable webcams that are just enough to get the job done right, there's a great webcam for everyone on this list. Plus, because we've included our exclusive price comparison tool, you can find a great deal on the best webcams.

1. Logitech C922 Pro Stream

Resolution: 1080p | Features: Background removal, Low-light correction, 720p/60fps video while streaming, Stereo audio, autofocus, auto light correction

First on our list of the best webcams 2019 has to offer is Logitech's newest one, the Logitech G922 Pro Stream. It features the same classy design as its predecessor, the C920, but it's especially interesting for gamers this time around. The C922 still boasts excellent 1080p video quality, great for hosting video calls, and its automatic low-light correction makes it a fantastic cam for streaming with the lights off. It also supports background removal, making it ideal for budding YouTubers.

2. Razer Kiyo

Resolution: 1080p | Features: Ring light, Compatibility with OBS and Xsplit

The Razer Kiyo might look weird, a testament to Razer's unique designs, but it's still one of the best webcams out there for streaming – which is unbelievably popular in this day and age. With the Razer Kiyo, Razer has stripped away a lot of the bells and whistles that more premium webcams offer, focusing instead on what matters most to game streamers and YouTube vloggers – good image quality and lighting through a 'Light Ring'. You don't need to spend a ton of time configuring the stream – just plug in the Razer Kiyo and get to work.

3. Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000

Resolution: 720p | Features: Colour correction, noise cancelling

The Microsoft LifeCam Studio is one of the best webcams out there. 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 Microsoft's TrueColor system will shift the exposure dynamically to keep you well lit, making it a great choice for business conferencing and presentations.

4. Mevo

Resolution: 2160p | Features: 4K recording, Mobile device compatibility, Live video and audio editing, Bluetooth 4.1

If you're an aspiring journalist, or even if you're just trying to capture footage in the wild, Mevo might be one of the best webcams for you. Either the Mevo or Mevo Plus will allow you to capture footage live, no matter where you are in the world – as long as you can connect to a mobile network. Plus, because Mevo is small and inconspicuous, it won't distract your subject during an interview.

5. Microsoft LifeCam Studio

Resolution: 1080p | Features: Colour correction, hi-fi microphone, Skype

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

6. Logitech Brio Webcam

Bringing 4K to a webcam near you

Resolution: 2160p | Features: 4K recording, 5X HD Zoom, Windows Hello, HDR

Have you ever looked at a webcam in disgust because it just can't hold up to your smartphone? Well, the Logitech Brio might be the webcam you've been looking for. With a 4K UHD resolution and HDR, the Logitech Brio has brought high fidelity to the world of the best webcams. If that wasn't enough, it also boasts Windows Hello functionality and an easy to use stand, which will let you position it to capture your best side.

7. Creative Labs Senz3D

Resolution: 1080p | Features: Background removal, Low-light correction, Windows Cortana and Hello compatibility, Facial tracking

Creative may not be the first company that comes to mind when you're in the market for the best webcams, but with the Creative Labs Senz3D, that's clearly changed. This space-age webcam has more features than you can imagine, and the high-tech 3D scanner and facial tracking tech promises to lead to some intriguing things in both AR functionality and even gaming. It isn't exactly cheap, but you're getting all the bells and whistles with this offering from Creative.

8. Logitech C930e

Resolution: 1080p | Features: On-board processing, Zeiss lens, wide angle lens

The C930e claims to be Logitech's most advanced HD webcam yet, so it isn't surprising that it's also one of Logitech's most expensive offerings. However, unlike traditional webcams, which rely on the PC for all the heavy lifting, this unit does the video encoding itself, which should in turn result in better video quality. The wide, 90-degree field of view means it's well-suited to business video conferencing and presentations. And of course, it's Skype-certified for PC and Mac.

9. Samsung VG-STC5000

Need a camera for your Samsung TV?

Best Webcams For Mac Mini

Resolution: 1080p | Features: Works on Samsung TVs

While Samsung smart TV's have limited compatibility with most of the best webcams out there, the company has its own proprietary camera for its H, HU, JS and JU models. We wouldn't recommend buying one for Skype, as the smart TV version of Skype is no longer supported, but if you want to use Samsung's own gesture control features and virtual mirror for fitness apps, then it's really your only option.

10. AUSDOM 1080P HD Webcam Camera with Built-in Microphone

Best Webcams For Mac

1080p Full HD for less than £21/$27? Oh yeah

Resolution: 1080p | Features: Built-in microphone with noise reduction, low-light enhancement tech, flexible stand

New Mac Mini 2018

If you're looking for a full HD webcam without that hefty price tag, this may be one of the best webcams for you. Boasting resolutions of up to 1080p HD while supporting 12MP stills, a noise-cancelling microphone and low-light compensation, this camera is feature-rich. There's no autofocus, and you don't get a big bundle of software, but that bargain price more than makes up for any shortcomings, which is why it's earned a place on our best webcams list.
