Pretty Dang Good: Described what he does and does well.

The Razer KIYO is a very good entry-level camera. Device: KIYO comes with a camera in a very nice box, instruction manual and stickers. Steps: KIYO requires the Razer Synapse 3 software to be used properly. This software has been heavily criticized by the gaming community due to data collection. Other than that, however, it works perfectly. After you install the software, Kiyo will recognize it and update the firmware in the camera. As of November 13th, it's still receiving updates. Microphone: Not great, but if you're a gamer you probably already have a headset or microphone installed. For normal zooms, I recommend a quiet room or your own microphone. Quality: It's a pretty good looking device, the mechanism that holds it to your monitor or desk is very solid and can even be stood up. The lens is small but powerful, 1080p looks really good but tweaking the settings will result in better color results for your streams. Features: built-in ring light, pretty darn good and bright. I looked really good on camera. I definitely prefer this model to any of Logitech's Brio 4K cameras. Which I think is excessive. This camera is great for zooming, it has good lighting and great autofocus. I only want 1080p and 60FPS. It can play 720p and 60fps or 1080p at 30fps. Overall: Otherwise I can highly recommend the Razer Kiyo. It's really a great companion for gamers and students or just presenters. It works incredibly well in Microsoft Teams and Zoom. The software is really easy to install and the ring light works well. Just make sure you wash your face or the light will reflect off your fat. If you can get it for less than 100 you have a good camera with a good warranty and a great view.
