Working from home these days, means participating in video meetings. Whether you’re using Teams, Skype, Zoom, Google Meet, or other meeting channels, your laptop camera is likely not showing you in the best light. Frankly, I’m tired of looking grainy and washed out during meetings and I bet you are too! A good external webcam like those from Asus can solve this problem and also give you more freedom to position the camera. I’m going to share a couple suggestions to improve your videos when using an external web camera, then tell you how to enter for a chance to win an Asus C3 web camera from Best Buy.
Two suggestions to get the most from an external web camera
1. Save your footage for editing and sharing videos
The benefit of shooting with an external webcam is that raw video footage is stored directly on your computer, where you can edit, view, and then publish it. The Asus C3 webcam works best when sitting at a desk to record yourself talking into the camera. Simply connect it to your computer via a USB port and record in Full HD 1080p resolution with a wide 78-degree field of view—wider than most built-in webcams. Freely move without worrying about getting cut out of the frame.
2. Level up your audio too
You may not realize that many external webcams include integrated microphones. For example, the beamforming microphones on the Asus C3 provide a huge improvement for your voice in meetings and recorded video. Listeners will hear a more natural sound than that provided by the built-in system microphone on your laptop.
Whether it’s e-learning, video calling, or work-related meetings, a webcam like the ASUS C3 can be up to the task. It brings all the remote participants together with remarkable audio-visual performance as if they were all in the same room. Full HD USB web cameras with integrated dual microphones enable crystal clear communication for all your video meetings.

This would be better sound and video quality for talking with my buddy in Europe
I work with a large secondary “monitor” but my camera is only on my laptop…I would use this webcam on top of my monitor so I don’t keep on looking into the wrong screen…lol.
The webcam would be great for those Zoom meetings. Mine is pretty bad!
Better quality for calls
A brighter picture for video calls.
My office is quite dark, so an external webcam would allow for a brighter picture due to its larger lens size instead of my laptop

Hopefully, I’d look a little better. People don’t need to see up my nose.
It would enhance the quality of my video calls at work. That or it takes up so much bandwidth because it’s so much better, it overloads the meeting software and we have to turn off our cameras. ) Thank you
