Overall ratingGood65/100
18 Webcams for the home office Whether it's a meeting with clients, a job interview or homeschooling: it can also be important to make a good impression in a video conference. This only works if both the picture quality and the sound quality are right. 18 models between 30 and 170 euros compete in Stiftung Warentest's webcam comparison - 17 of them with built-in microphones...
Good69/100
- Good microphone
- Low price
- Good image with backlight
- Overall only satisfactory picture quality
- Records ambient noise loudly
- Hardly any equipment
The Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 impresses in the test above all with its low price. Apart from the still very good sound quality, however, the webcam only offers the bare essentials without any special extras. This is only enough for an adequate equipment rating. The picture quality has strengths and weaknesses, but is only satisfactory on average. There are better alternatives for the price.

Inexpensive, well-made webcam with few weaknesses.
