The only exception to this is if you do a lot of fullscreen webcam views or you are a Just Chatting streamer that basically spends 90% of the time with the webcam feed maximized. There is no legitimate reason for you to go above 720P if you are like every other streamer. When streaming on Twitch or YouTube 99% of your screen is usually gameplay, while the webcam window is a 300×200 tiny window that accompanies the gameplay.Ĭonsidering the size of the actual webcam feed, having a 4K webcam or a 720 webcam makes no difference.


Well, the biggest reason why this is a great budget option for 99% of the streamers is that you realistically do not need more in terms of quality. So why would I recommend this webcam for streaming then? The bottom line is that this webcam is relatively simple to install and does work well for its intended purpose of videoconferencing online.Throughout this entire review, you probably have noticed that the Logitech C270 HD webcam doesn’t offer much in terms of specs and only shines when it comes to its price. The downloaded software for the C370 allows one to adjust color and play with a few video effects for the fun of it. However, any video from a computer can also be influenced by restricted bandwidth on the internet connection of the speed of the computer video itself so this may not necessarily be a fair evaluation. Using the webcam with a videoconferencing program the video on the receiving end is slightly pixelated (just because it may be set on the transmitting computer on HD mode doesn't mean that the video will look like broadcast TV on the receiving end). Once the driver from Logitech is installed the webcam works well. It does require downloading the driver from Logitech's website for the camera to work (I installed it in an older Windows 7 computer) the exact site took a little digging to find online but thanks to a search on Google I was able to find and install the driver. The unit easily sits atop a computer monitor. On a desktop, it is usually recommended to plug it into a USB port in the back of the computer rather than the front. The C370 webcam plugs into any available USB port. Logitech C370-An easy to use webcam for videoconferencing online.
