MacBook Air webcam vs external webcam: Built-in is fine for daily calls, external only worth it for low light or polish

The M2/M3 Air’s 1080p camera is a big upgrade from 720p and works well for Zoom, Teams, or Meet in decent lighting. External webcams like the Logitech C920 or Brio 4K offer better color and low-light performance, but the difference isn’t worth $50–$200 and a dongle for most people.
