best webcam on a laptop has become ever more important.
no!
I loath the whole push from the pandemic that you have to connect with your webcam. For years before masses (and HR/management people?) it was perfectly fine to be just black box and discuss technical matter, most of the time with shared screen but then covid hit and "savoir vivre of online meetings" started to popup and wo and behold - it started to be obligatory... seriously, it's pointless and doesn't bring anything to the meeting (again, save for the HR and management people trying to show they actually do anything useful
)
