With adequate lighting and optimized settings in OBS (my guide), the C920 works well for streaming on Twitch, Zoom meetings, and even a main camera for beginner YouTubers. Soft details like freckles and clothing textures get smoothed out quite a bit.Ĭolor accuracy is quite good, and it does even better than the much more expensive Logitech Brio and AVerMedia PW513 (my review) in many situations. The image overall is relatively soft and a bit dim compared to higher end devices. I’ve reviewed some lights on this website that I use in the following shots such as the Elgato Ring Light, Key Light Air, and the LimoStudio LMS 103 Lighting Kit. However, with enough light this thing looks very good for the price.

Trying to use software settings to brighten up the image in low light will result in frame rate drops. Like most cameras, it struggles mightily in low to moderate lighting settings with a grainy and dark image. For a webcam over 8 years old, it’s impressive (and a bit embarrassing) how well this does compared to its modern competition.
