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.

Higher Audio and Camera Quality. The current Webcam Is old and outdated. Which isn’t great since most things are done from home now. I Could use a good upgrade!
It would be a lot better, I would stop using my old 720p 30fps webcam for streaming and making videos online. I could maybe also get rid of my microphone if the built-in microphone is good enough! My colleague would now be able to see my skin pores. Good luck people and I hope I win!
