March 2020 - the start of the pandemic...After I realized that my team and much of the rest of the world were going to do a lot of virtual meetings through video conferencing software like Zoom and Teams, I decided to stop using the audio inputs of the webcam sitting atop my computer screen.
Webcams adequately transmit your video and audio, but they can't replicate your voice in the way that a quality, standalone microphone can.
If you're interested in building a better work setup by increasing the quality of the sound people hear when they "meet" with you, watch this short video.
I explain why I decided to ditch my webcam's built in microphone for a beefy, chunky, standalone mic, and sound a heck of a lot better. Yeah, a webcam is alright, but you can upgrade your audio exponentially by getting an off-camera mic.
