What is a Webcam?

Webcams are small digital cameras designed to capture video and images, often used for video conferencing, streaming, and recording content. They connect to a computer or device via USB or, in some cases, wirelessly. Webcams are essential for applications like Zoom calls, Skype chats, and live streaming on platforms like Twitch and YouTube. Many modern webcams offer high-definition (HD) video quality, and some even support 4K resolution. Features like autofocus, built-in microphones, and privacy covers have made webcams more versatile and user-friendly, especially for remote work and online communication.
