OBSBot Meet 2 review

pcgamer.com:

I'm going to be honest here, I don't think I've ever quite understood why the average person would be interested in a 4K webcam for 4K prices.

I think there's a real purpose if you're a streamer and want the absolute best clarity but, with the likes of Google Meet limiting video calls to just 1080p, why I would want to pay a couple hundred extra bucks for niche use cases is beyond me.

Fortunately, the OBSBot Meet 2 with its solid specs, cute size, and very reasonable price aims to fix that problem. And give you an excellent everyday webcam in the process.

Starting off with the most noticeable thing, this webcam is absolutely adorable. At just under an inch tall and under two inches wide, it's one of the smallest webcams I've used. It's only about 70% of the size of the Logitech Brio 100 I'd previously used on my setup and not quite as cumbersome either. With grey, white, and green options available, they all look great but the almost seafoam shade of green is my favourite.

The lens of this webcam takes up the majority of the space of the device. Apart from a small OBSBot logo up the top left, it lacks any distinct branding. To set this thing up, you simply have to plug a USB-C cable into the receiver on the back and connect the included stand to your monitor.

The stand is the weakest part of the package. Instead of screwing in via a thread, the stand has a small magnetic pull that keeps the webcam in place.

This feels like a bit of an oversight and a slightly thick USB-C has enough power to constantly knock the webcam off the stand. It clips initially fine but lacks the strength to hold onto a surface well. As the stand itself is fairly small, when the webcam's weight is adjusted, this will often knock the entire thing off.

One night, the stand and webcam came off
