But once you notice that the cover is made of foam and that the monitor mount lacks feet, that premium feeling starts to wear off. This camera does have a slightly premium feel at first blush, thanks to its sliding camera cover and reflective front plastic. This makes it ideal for travel and for use with smaller devices like laptops, but it also leaves it feeling cheap and flimsy in places. The Microsoft Modern Webcam is a small all-in-one package with no detachable cables or accessories. Echo was present, like with most webcam microphones, but I also thought my voice was crisp and clear. I also recorded the audio for the sample video with the Microsoft Modern Webcam’s built-in microphone. My experience capturing video was much the same as my experience with photos, and I’ve included a sample video below to show it off. Speaking of video calls, they are of course the intended use case for this camera. You could comfortably take a video call under these conditions. That’s not uncommon even on premium webcams, which makes the Microsoft Modern Webcam’s fidelity under these conditions even more impressive. Meanwhile, the shot I took with the Logitech C920 is bathed in shadow and borderline unusable.
While my window is somewhat obscured by glare, which isn’t uncommon even in higher price ranges, my face and background are all fully visible and only a little brighter than in real life.
When I saturated the Microsoft Modern Webcam with light by pointing it towards my window, it produced a much brighter, much more visible shot than the Logitech C920.
