Today, I'm testing out six of the best webcams I could find at every budget level—from a cheap $18 option all the way up to a pro-level $200 camera.
In this video, we put these cameras through a blind test to see if you can actually tell the difference between the budget picks and the expensive models. We cover the best options for Zoom calls, streaming, and content creation, including the tiny Obsbot Meet SE, the AI-powered Insta360 Link 2C, and the high-quality YoloCam S3.
We also discuss the hidden "gotchas" with some of these cameras (like the purple tint on the Hollyland or the lack of a microphone on the YoloCam) and reveal which one is the best overall value for 2026.
In this video, we review:
The Budget King: An $18 webcam that beats the MacBook Pro internal camera.
The Tiny Giant: The Obsbot Meet SE ($69) with gesture controls.
The AI Powerhouse: Insta360 Link 2C with auto-framing and whiteboard modes.
The All-in-One: Hollyland Lyra with a built-in wireless mic receiver.
The Pro Pick: YoloLiv YoloCam S3 for the best possible image quality.
Our mission here at Think Media is to help purpose-driven entrepreneurs go full-time doing what they love and making an impact through the power of video.
