The StreamCam adjusts automatically depending on how it's mounted. Rotating the camera counterclockwise 90 degrees and placing it back on the mount puts the logo on the right side, and lets it record 1080p60 video in landscape orientation.

With the Logitech logo on the bottom of the front of the camera, it records in portrait orientation at up to 1,920 by 1,080 resolution and 60 frames per second.

The StreamCam detaches completely from either mount, not only so you can switch between them, but so you can use the camera in your choice or orientation. The other mount is a small tabletop tripod that lets you set up the StreamCam on any flat surface. The small lip keeps the camera steady on the top bezel of your screen, while the arm and foot brace against the back. One mount is designed for monitors and laptop screens, with a plastic lip on the front and a flip-out arm on a stiff hinge with a smaller foot that flips out at the bottom. The camera fits on either of two included mounts with U-shaped brackets that hold it snugly by small protrusions near the back of the device. The front of the camera features a fabric cover with the Logitech logo on the bottom and an indicator LED behind the fabric in the upper right corner. The StreamCam is a boxy camera in a black or light gray that measures 2.3 inches high, 1.9 inches wide, and 2.4 inches deep, with a five-foot cable terminating in a USB-C plug. With the ability to record up to 1080p video at 60 frames per second in portrait, landscape, or square orientations, included screen and tripod stands, and a capable software package that lets you easily tweak your video feed before you go live, it's a powerful tool for streamers that earns our Editors' Choice. With that in mind, the Logitech StreamCam provides everything you need for top-notch livestreaming for $169.99. These won't give you the crisp, smooth video you need to bolster your livestreaming career, however.

They're built into nearly every laptop and tablet, and if you need a dedicated one, plenty of inexpensive options are available. Webcams are usually seen as an afterthought.
