Razer’s KIYO is a very good starting camera.
Device: The KIYO comes with the camera in a very nice box, and a manual and stickers.
Steps: KIYO requires the Razer Synapse 3 software in order to use appropriately. This software has been uh, criticized a lot by the gaming community because of its data collecting. However aside from that, it works just fine. Once you install the software, it’ll detect the Kiyo and update the firmware in the camera.
As of 11/13, it still getting updates.
Microphone: It’s not great, but assuming you’re a gamer, you probably already have a headset or microphone installed. For normal zoom environments, I recommend a quiet room or a dedicated microphone.
Quality: It’s a pretty good looking device, the mechanism that holds it on your monitor or desk is very strong and can even be stood up. The lens is small but mighty, 1080p looks really good, but adjusting the settings will yield better results color wise for your streams.
Features: integrated ring light, pretty dang good and bright. I looked very good on camera. I definitely prefer this model to any of to a 4K Brio Logitech camera. Which I consider overkill.
This camera is great for zoom, it has good lighting and great autofocus. I just wish it did 1080p and 60FPS. It can do 720p and 60FPS or 1080p with 30fps.
Overall:
Aside from that I highly recommend the Razer Kiyo. It truly makes an excellent companion for both gamers and students or just presenters.
It works on Microsoft Teams and Zoom incredibly wells. The software is really easy to install, and the ring light packs a good punch. Just make sure you wash your face otherwise the light will reflect off your grease lmao.
If you can get it for less than 100, you have a good camera with good warranty and great views.
