Buyer rule
Start with light, mount, and capture path
Start with monitor position, face distance, light direction, autofocus needs, USB port plan, software crop, and whether the webcam must move between desks.

Risk
Avoid upgrading the camera while keeping the bad shot
The common mistake is using a sharper webcam in the same bad light and low angle that made the previous camera look weak.
