Setupįirst, get OBS and NDI Tools, specifically NDI Virtual Input. Then you select and use that Virtual Webcam in your remote video conferencing tool of choice! The results are amazing. With minimal setup, you can feed all your webcams, your desktop itself, and really anything you can express as a 'scene' into a software video compositor and then output them as a virtual webcam.
What can you do for nothing or next to nothing? A lot. What if you could change cameras - scenes - like you were a movie director. You have to switch into your apps Device Settings, do the dropdown, switch, wait, and then you've changed the camera. Of course, you can always change video inputs in any application but there's .that moment. However, now that we are a remote workers - my entire company has everyone working remotely until further notice - I've found that an extra webcam or two can really be helpful if I want to point a camera at something on my desk, or get a wider view, look at a whiteboard, etc.
If you're interested in creating the ultimate remote worker webcam setup on a budget, I've written a blog post on the topic. Over the years I've collected a few webcams, some quality and some not.
