The difference between a good webcam and a mediocre one can be revealing — you either look and sound good or you look and sound like crap. So if you’d rather take the professional road to quality videoconferencing and self-made videos, a good device like the Logitech C920 HD Pro Webcam in today’s M1 MacBook Air is a great way to get there.

M1 MacBook Air user gets advice on a good dock to connect MacBook Air to external display
Redditor Taurus-Kei showcased the MacBook Air setup in a post entitled, “MBA M1 & PC Setup.” He runs an M1 MacBook Air with 27-inch and 22-inch BenQ displays mounted on monitor arms. The larger screen, in landscape (horizontal) orientation, features HDR. We recently wrote about his quest for a dock or adapter to better connect his laptop to one of his displays. That resulted in useful commenter recommendations. Now we’ll talk about the excellent webcam he uses to look like a pro on video calls.
Logitech C920 HD Pro Webcam
The C920 is a good example of an HD webcam can help make a user look good on video calls or when they record themselves for applications like product demos, or any video, really. It delivers crisp and detailed full HD video (1080p at 30fps). The cam includes a full HD glass lens, 78-degree field of view and HD auto light correction. And it also packs dual mics to pick up your voice in clear stereo sound on calls.
A commenter noticed how clean the webcam and light bar arrangement looks in Kei’s photo.
“Is it the camera that’s special in that it can attach to a light bar or the light bar that’s special in that it can allow a camera to attach to it?” they asked.
“The base of the Logitech c920 is adjustable so it kinda acts like a clamp,” Kei replied. So it’s super-easy to install and it stays where you put it.
