Teacher looking for Webcam and USB wireless microphone options.

Instead of recording classes or sending students itemized lists of assignments, Would love to teach LIVE.

Need help trying to find a webcam to attach to laptop that is better than the laptop camera. Also looking for a USB plug and play wireless microphone that can be used while walking instead of sitting in front of a camera.

Any suggestions would help.

The Jabra USB conference call mics are really good.

Cameras are hard to find right now, that's gonna be the hardest thing to find.

Do you have a Canon camera. They have an app to turn your camera into a high performance Webcam.

Yeah you can find really shitty cheap Chinese cameras.. or could a few weeks ago. I got one for $40, it's not great but it's ok in normal light

Mic-wise, will you be facing the camera more often than not? A blue Yeti is a fairly decent condensor mic that should pick you up as you walk around so long as you generally talk towards it.

A Bluetooth headset mic would do wonders. You can get the clarity you need for your voice and you can hear others in the virtual without needing external speakers and having annoying echos/feedback.

Limitation might be that you can only use a Tablet, phone, or a laptop with a webcam.

I like the Logitech C920. It is about $200 so it isn't cheap. But the software is simple and it does take good video.

The overhead shots in this video were used by it.
Sound wise is a different subject though.
